It was a great, emotional, and spirit-filled moment on Wednesday the 28th of August, 2024, as the Prudent Women Advancement and Advocacy Foundation, led by its founder and president, Mrs. Msurshima Comfort Chenge, accompanied by her husband, Engr. Robert Ahen Chenge, paid a visit to Baby Msurshima at the Paediatrics Department of the Benue State Teaching Hospital. Baby Msurshima had been brought to the hospital for an operation and total treatment by the Ukan Kurugh Foundation.
Mrs. Msurshima Comfort Chenge said the Lord led Baby Msurshima's case to her as a burden. She was completely restless the moment she saw the case, and she is very happy that the Ukan Kurugh Foundation made it visible for the world to see.
She highlighted that it was a privilege for the Prudent Women to come and see the baby, just as the wise men visited King Jesus when He was born in the manger. She said Baby Msurshima has a mighty and divine destiny; like others with great destinies, she would fight big battles but win them all. The baby, she continued, is a huge testimony, and her situation is temporary — ordained to bring glory to God and salvation to multitudes.
Mrs. Seember, the mother of Baby Msurshima, was applauded by the president and the entire Prudent Women as the real Prudent Woman — resilient against it all, never giving up, holding on to her child, protecting her and looking unto Jesus, just as Jochebed did for Moses. The president said Mrs. Seember was an inspiration to her and to mothers all over the world.
Engr. Mrs. Omale Valerie Judith, a Director at the Lower Benue River Basin Development Authority and a member of the Prudent Women, was moved to compassion as she blessed and prayed for both the baby and the mother. Members of the Prudent Women Organisation took turns in prayer — Pastor Mrs. Adejoke Adoyi, Pastor Mrs. Rita Attah, Pastor Mrs. Sar Nguwasen Benita, Mrs. Famimi Linda Mbashinya, and Mrs. Gift Ogoma Ityokoso, a matron at FMC. The Foundation handed over a token to Mrs. Seember, assuring her of constant check-ups.
Engr. Robert Ahen Chenge thanked the Ukan Kurugh Foundation, the Prudent Women Organization and all its members for always showing love, commitment, and care for humanity. He offered encouraging words to Baby Msurshima's mother and asked for the privilege for his family to adopt Baby Msurshima and take care of her as their own child, covering all her school and social needs. The mother was completely surprised at the news. The Chenge family promised to provide not just financial support for her medical care, but a second home to both child and mother.
The hospital visitation was divine. There was another baby on the ward with a similar health issue, and his surgery bill was immediately paid for by Engr. Robert Ahen Chenge and his wife. Every other child at the Paediatrics Ward was prayed for and given a token.
The Prudent Women Advancement and Advocacy Foundation promised to continue supporting the Ukan Kurugh Foundation in its humanitarian activities, giving meaning, purpose, and hope to the hopeless while glorifying God.
