One of their projects is providing shoes and clothes for the needy, as well as medical supplies such as crutches and wheelchairs. Alex and Leah coordinate short-term mission trips to Nigeria in the area of medical assistance and ministerial training. Alex and Leah Abiola served as missionaries to the Republic of Ireland from December 2004 to July 2010. They assisted the overseer of Ireland in church planting, ministerial training, and counseling. Alex helped pastors with themed Bible classes, ministry training courses, outreach ministries, and wedding ceremonies. Current projects in their new home of Nigeria include the building of a hospital and orphanage located outside the town of Abeokuta in Ogun State. Land has already been purchased for these structures, which will serve Nigeria’s southwest region.
