MY STORY & MINISTRIES.
Reni never knew her father, he passed on when she was six months old and her mother also passed when she was seven years old. She started singing at the same age (7) when her aunt enrolled her in the church choir. All through Reni’s high schools and college, the Lord kept her singing everywhere she went. “Despite the various needs that I had as a child, love was something I never lacked both in and out of home.” “Now, having understood God’s call upon my life, I realize that He has brought me this far, (especially to the USA) to be a mouth piece for the African orphans. This vision has therefore been the wrap around all that I do in the ministries as discussed below.”
RENI MUSIC
As a recording artist and songwriter, Reni promises is to reach out to the orphan children in Africa. She believes in catching them young using their talents for God just like the Lord caught her young too. Therefore, she intends to be a role model to them. “I know what it means to be a young orphan with no encouragement and I thank God for bringing people my way to encourage and lead me rightly. I know there are many orphans out there who need such an encouragement,” said Reni. God has given her the prime vision to reach, support and encourage the development of their talents.
RENI MINISTRIES
This arm of the ministries awards educational scholarship to some orphans in Africa. The non-profit ministry collaborates with individuals who give financial supports. In addition, certain percentages of Reni’s CD sales go towards this mission. Previously, the ministry pays tuitions for orphans from these countries in Africa: Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Uganda, Mauritania, and Burundi. Since some of them have obtained their high school diploma or graduated from trade schools, current recipients are seven orphans from Nigeria and Sierra Leone. However, as the Lord enlarges the ministry, more children will be added.
In addition, having known what it means not to have Christmas presents as a child, Reni has decided to put smiles on the faces of children via a yearly Inter-denominational Christmas party for Children/Teens in the United States Delaware Valley areas, since 2002. Reni’s vision is also to host children and teens for Christmas in Nigeria in the near future. VIEW PAST EVENT PICTURES HERE
NATIONAL MOTHERHOOD AWARD
One cannot measure the role of a mother in a child’s life. Reni has experienced this and believes in raising a network of distant mothers to “mother” each African orphan the Lord brings her way. She also believes that we should honor and celebrate every woman. Therefore, in honoring mothers from every occupation annually with the prestigious National Motherhood Award, Reni hopes to build up a network of ‘distant mothers’ and support systems who will constantly keep these children in their hearts spiritually and financially. Sponsorships could be to help pay for school accommodation, tuition, textbooks etc or everything as individuals can afford. READ MORE
MINISTRY OF THE ELDERLY
One of the visions the Lord recently gave Reni, is to visit the elderly at the nursing homes to minister to them in spiritual songs and hymns. Knowing God is able to heal and save with the power of music, she trusts the Holy Spirit to accomplish that through her soon. READ MORE
