In 2005 the Birth Attendant School set out from their training ground in Perth for an eight month practical phase in both Nigeria and Egypt. 14 women from 9 different nations were ministering in Nigeria, touching the lives of women, delivering babies and praying over these new lives.
On December 11th 2005 ten of the fourteen women set out with a group of Nigerian missionaries to attend the ordination of a pastor they had come to know well. A tragic accident along the way in which a truck pulled out in front of their bus resulted in the deaths of eight young missionaries. Delphine Lemaire, staff on the Birth Attendant School from Youth With A Mission, Perth was among those who lost their lives.
Delphine's family are honoured to assist Youth With A Mission in their desire to bring Jesus to families through strengthening the lives of mothers and children.
