Bless the Ikpe family in time of mourning

In October 2020 Nnamdi, his wife Meriam, and their two boys, Chimdike and Chidubem received the sad news that his mum had passed away in their homeland, Nigeria. Nnamdi and Meriam have been working in Christian ministry in Southeast Asia for eight years. Their work in education and development has been entirely dependent upon a small group of supporters.

Confronted with problems regarding the land to be used as a burial plot in their home village and the challenge of covering funeral expenses, the family have had to delay the funeral and burial. Compounded by grief and separation from loved ones, the last three months have been very difficult for Nnamdi and Meriam as they’ve sought to resolve these issues.

Nnamdi and Meriam are not seeking to return for the funeral but are asking for help to cover the costs of mortuary fees and basic funeral expenses. If you are able to contribute a financial gift to enable their family bring closure to this period of loss, stress and protracted grieving, your support would be hugely appreciated.

I (Richard Smith) have had the privilege of working alongside them both in teacher training and professional development and can vouch for their integrity and their extraordinary service among the people of Cambodia.
