He is a 13 year old boy we met one Sunday morning on the street. That day, he was brought to church by a friend who had once been a member of our community.
Not long after, that friend disappeared when a task force raided the bridge where many undocumented street dwellers slept. We later traced him and learned he had been released and relocated to Oshodi.
Michael, however, stayed.
He became a regular face in church. Quiet at first, but consistent. Present. Hungry for belonging.
Sometime in January last year, as we prepared for a crusade in one of the surrounding slum communities, I called him aside to ask about his family. The plan was simple. We wanted to enroll him back in school.
That conversation revealed something devastating.
Michael had been living on the streets for four years. He was nine years old when he left home. He will be fourteen this year.
I could not imagine what would drive a child from the safety of home into the cruelty of the streets. But what we later discovered was heavier than anything we were prepared for.
On February 21, 2025, during the crusade, Michael gave his life to Christ. He went through deliverance, and in the weeks that followed, we watched a transformation unfold. He became lively, joyful, deeply committed, and fiercely protective of the church community.
More than once, he defended the integrity of the space. He once fought someone who tried to take advantage of the church. On another occasion, he was bullied because he refused to allow someone who never attended service to partake in the refreshments afterward. Small in frame, but firm in conviction, he stood his ground.
Scripture says, “God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong” (1 Corinthians 1:27). Michael embodied that truth.
We attempted to resettle him by asking a church member to take him in. Every attempt failed. At the time, we did not understand why. We would later find out.
After our November crusade, we resolved to take decisive steps. We would return him to school and locate his family.
We got him new clothes, and on December 26, one of us accompanied him home.
We first went to Majidun in Ikorodu, where he last lived with his mother years earlier. The neighbors told us she had moved.
Michael then remembered the church his stepfather once attended. When we visited, it was immediately clear that they wanted no association with the family.
They openly declined involvement with Michael, his mother, or his stepfather.
We moved on to another neighborhood where Michael had once lived. Some residents recognized him and directed us to the tailoring shop his stepfather used to run. The shop was closed, but a phone number was displayed.
After several attempts, we reached the man.
He told us plainly that he and Michael’s mother were no longer together. He then gave us her phone number.
When we called the mother, her response was dismissive. She made it clear she did not want Michael and told us to take him to his biological father.
Michael led us to his father’s house in Ikorodu.
When we arrived, his father was lying down, not sick, not distressed. There was no excitement, no concern. He barely engaged with us and simply acknowledged that Michael had been brought back.
Later that day, Michael’s grandmother called to apologize for the inconvenience. She told us she would be grateful if we could take over Michael’s care.
Soon after, we were contacted again. We were asked either to come pick Michael up or send money for him to return to us. When we did not respond immediately, the father called to say he had given Michael money to go back to wherever he came from.
At that point, the truth was unmistakable.
Neither parent was willing to take responsibility for their child.
A few days later, Michael returned to the streets.
This Sunday, we will resume our service under the bridge, the same place we meet every week. We hope we will see him there.
