Episode 83: They came from Nigeria to be born, then came back to be "born again."

The Christian Chronicle Podcast

In 2010, Ose Ehimare and her four(!) unborn children faced almost certain death unless they could get special medical care not available where they lived in Abuja, Nigeria. God made a way for Ose to get the care she needed for herself and her children at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
But she was 6,000 miles from home and all alone in a strange land. That's when the Northlake Church of Christ in nearby Tucker, Georgia, gave her and her children a home and surrounded them in extraordinary care until they were all healthy and strong enough to return to Nigeria.
Fourteen years after their birth, Ose's four children, Alyssa, Bibiana, Noah and Valencia, asked to return to Northlake Church of Christ to be born again. On August 25, 2024, all four of them went down together into the waters of baptism.
In this episode, we hear from Ose Ehimare and Bibiana Ehimare, one of her daughters who returned to Northlake Church of Christ for her baptism. We also hear from Cathy Hendrick, the Northlake member who, along with her husband, Jeff, made their own house a home for Ose and her babies in 2010.
The closing song is the Northlake Church of Christ singing Great Things.
