PBC Ministry Spotlight: Jalingo Orphanage. In April we're shining a light on our brothers and sisters in Christ at the Jalingo orphanage in Nigeria. The orphanage is a Christ-centered home to about 150 orphans in the middle of a violent and volatile Muslim region.

Stop by the Mission board near the north door for ways to help. Connect: Tina Steffens.
