Nigeria Video 1

This is a scripted piece that I worked on alongside my SIM Stories teammate, Tohru. In his writing he beautifully captured SIM Nigeria’s heart and vision for serving in a “hard place.” It is an excellent reminder that sometimes missions work isn’t what we think it will be with seeing churches planted, lives transformed, healing, instead sometimes it’s removing barriers so that the next generation can plant seeds.

This video at the beginning felt like a bit of a challenge to me. I had to figure out how to share what three ministries were doing, and find a way to unify them. From working with widows, to children, to young women that have been rescued from prostitution and drug abuse, these stories all have a thread that weaves them together. They all share SIM’s mission and vision of reaching the unreached and caring for those in our communities that are most vulnerable.

It was a gift for me to spend time with all three of these ministries. I saw the joy these communities have created for one another. I also heard countless stories of pain and difficulty, and yet in all of the stories I heard words of hope. The people I spoke to have faced true horrors of the world, but spoke with such conviction of hope. It was truly inspiring.
