My Name is  Trevor Irwin, and I am a Missionary with over 15 years of experience.  I began this ministry in 1993 and am today still working with the extreme poor in Rural and Isolated villages in Africa. I have also worked with isolated poor villagers in South India. I do what I do because I love God and his people, no matter what colour, race or religion. every living soul has a right to Clean water, Education, Shelter, food and health care. Sadly in a world where there is so much, so many never have the opportunity to have even the basic commodities of life. This is where I and the small team at Philadelphia Mission step in. 


We at Philadelphia Mission strongly believe from our years of working with these people, that Food handouts is only a temporary solution, even though at times necessary. In the continent Africa the death rate of children aged between 0-5 years old is a staggering  [1..3 million on average per year ]

In many rural and isolated villages the death rate is not monitored. I have asked many Chiefs, Elders, Mothers and Grandmothers, how many children below 5 years old have died in the last year, and almost all will say "MANY".

I live in the villages with the people and see their suffering first hand. Each year I return several times and many children have died, most from preventable and treatable sickness and diseases. Intestinal worms, River blindness, Rickets, Polio and Diarrhoea and Malaria are just a few diseases that kill so many.
If you have ever witnessed a child die in your arms from starvation, or dehydration, you will know only to well the terrible pain that child experiences, and that child's cry is something very different to any other. Today we are making a real difference. We do need you to help us do much more. We have a small Mission Centre in Kujama village, kaduna State. Nigeria. Our small team are totally committed to providing help for all who are in dire need.

Malnutrition, Disease, Abandonment, Poverty, poor hygiene,  War, tribal disputes, religious indifferences, poor farming methods and lack of tools all play a part.

Philadelphia Mission is a Small Charity, and [all members are Unpaid Volunteers]. We are a Christian Charity, that cares for all people, regardless of their Colour, or Religion. Staff and Volunteers  are honest and inspired people with commitment and vision. Through years of experience and knowledge of the people, their customs and traditions, we have changed so many lives for the better. Children who could not afford to go to school, now can. We have purchased clothing, medicine, tools and water pumps. [Our Latest  project will go much further and make an even greater impact on many more precious lives..

We need Partners to help us provide this vital service

[We work in partnership with Salama health ministries, A registered Afican Organization, situated in Kujama in Nigeria. We in the UK work hands on with Salama health Ministry, and the people in rural Nigeria. We have a Small Maternity wing, a pharmacy, a village health care program, literacy class, widows care program and other activities. We are proud that we have done so much with so little finance.  ]

We are a charity, that does not use any money raised to cover Staff salaries Personal expenses or overheads.

We cover our own travel expenses, and with the help of some good friends  we cover all charity overheads. We love the people and want to make a real positive change in their lives.100% of all money raised is used to help the extreme poor.

We need partners to join us in this work, so if you want to help please contact us. If you have a fund raising idea, or any other idea's contact us. Please make a donation, and please do pray for us and the work we do.
