Founder

Rev. (Mrs.) Christiana Bamidele George was born on Dec. 12th 1955, the first Child of the family of Dr. Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia, from Edo state, Nigeria. She finished both her Primary and Secondary education in Benin City before proceeding to Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree (B.Sc.) in Accountancy. On graduating, she worked for the next five years as a Senior Accounting Officer with the First Bank of Nigeria Plc.

In 1985, she resigned to go into business with her husband, a re-tired Air-line Pilot, a businessman and a philanthropist. They prospered and God established them.

However, in 1990, she felt the call of God on her life to help the less-privileged in society. Thirsty for biblical knowledge, she then proceeded to International Bible Institute in London for Biblical Studies. Dele George decided to dedicate the rest of her life to champion the course of the less-privileged in our society especially  abandoned/abused and orphaned children.

Through the family relief Center of the Strong Tower  Relied Mission located in Abule Egba, Lagos. The temporary Centre is where the needs of the poor, widows and women with unplanned pregnancies are met on a regular basis. Packages of food are distributed to the poor. The widows are given money for petty trade and the elderly are placed on  allowances. The mission is hoping to have a permanent  centre for these women in the future.

This is organised from time to time to propagate the two handed gospel. The Bread of life (the word) in one hand, and bread for the stomach in the other. It is the mission,s mandate from God never to preach the good news without provision for the needy.

Little Saints Orphanage is another great vision of Rev. Mrs. Dele George. This is a home away from home for orphans, abused and abandoned children. Since inception the orphanage has rehabilitated hundreds of children including new born babies. As a result of the work of the orphanage, adoption of children, which was normally ignored by Nigerians, became a welcomed practice. 80% of the babies that come in are adopted into well-screened families across the nation through the Ministry of Youth & Social Development or Women Affairs in the states of operation.

In 2001, a two hundred bed hostel was completed for the rehabilitation of more children on the landed property in Akowonjo, Lagos which was donated by Capt and Rev. Mrs. George at the onset of the vision in 1994. This house is now home to the boys of the orphanage. The younger girls are rehabilitated in a home built on the land also donated by George family in Abule Egba area of Lagos. The older girls are rehabilitated in a beautiful house in Ogudu donated by Mr FEMI OSIBONA of  FORESCORE HOMES  in 2005.

In 2012, an anonymous donor donated a house in Warri for the rehabilitation of vulnerable children. He built this house as his personal residence but he gave it to God to fulfill a vow he made to God. Today vulnerable children are being rehabilitated and reformed there. His magnanimous gesture rebounds to the Glory of God.

In 2014 , the Lord expanded the Orphanage again with the donation of another home in ibadan through the chairman Capt.Jide George who decided to dedicate a storey building in Apata, Ibadan to God in memory of his departed mother Mrs Felicia George. This home to vulnerable children in Ibadan, Oyo state.

In 2016, Daniel Oladele Lawal foundation blessed the Little Saints Orphanage with two beautiful bungalows for the rehabilitation of vulnerable children. In Itele, Ogun State.

In celebration of the 25th annivesary of the orphanage in June 2019, a new vision was initiated SAFE HAVEN FOR CHILDREN located in ikorodu town for the reformation of street children. It is a centre for the empowerment of street children for independent living. This project is currently on going.
