is a Christian Organization that focuses on human empowerment and providing solutions to the ills in society. This humanitarian organization was born in 2013 from a desire to build a new church building for the St. Joseph Catholic Community in the village of Umon-Okon in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
This amber of desire caught fire and set the hearts of many generous individuals in the United States of America ablaze. These individuals contributed greatly in planning, dedication, zeal, and fundraising. And this desire transformed into a new state-of-the-art Church Building for St. Joseph Catholic Church, Umon-Okon, Ikot Ekpene Diocese.
In an electricity intervention program, Building4God Outreach purchased and installed a new ABB Transformer for Umon Community in Akwa Ibom State, linking the community to the national grid.
Building4God Outreach built and furnished a five-bedroom bungalow and another two-bedroom bungalow respectively for widows from Ikot Igwe and Ikot Essien communities of Essien Udim Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
