A group of students from Providence College raised money to gift a security guard a trip to see his family in Nigeria, where he hasn’t been in 10 years. The students created a fundraiser and they were able to exceed their initial goal of $3,500.

Is he going to be allowed to take any of the unused money back to Nigeria to help his family and/or community? Or will this $ go into a fund to help others return to their families overseas?

We are in the last days. God is coming soon to bring His people home. Repent of you're sins and get baptized. Be born again by believing and being saved to go to eternal life. Jesus is The Only Way. Have a relationship with Him. He loves you and cares for you're soul. Believe and be saved according to The Book of Romans 10:9. Accept Him as you're personal Lord and Savior. Study His Word, The Holy Bible, stay in prayer and help others. I am here for prayer requests. I'm just a messenger sharing The Good News. God bless.
