1 MAY, 2017 PASSION FOR THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Doing good thing that you have passion for makes you feel good. It reveals the best in you. I have passion for the gospel of Christ and I feel good in doing it. It is revealing, dynamic and life-saving. What about you and your support? LEADERSHIP SEMINAR The leadership seminar/ evangelism held on 12 th -13 th May, 2017 at the Islamic community was a success. It revealed the opportunity to establish another congregation at the neighboring community. See pictures for more details: Sisters cooking for brethren who have come to evangelize the community.

They even have pleasure in reading some of our books. See the pictures of the Muslim marriage attended: See females separately seated. Males are always separated from females in sitting positions even during their worship.

On the 11 th May, 2017, the Nigerian Christian Bible College where I was trained, assessed my efforts in His vineyard since after my graduation in 2000 and awarded me an Ambassador of the college. Well, my representation of Christ everywhere cannot be different from my ambassadorial appointment of the college. This is part of their worship hall. Nigerian Christian Bible College(NCBC), Ukpom-Abak has trained able men and women who have gallantly preached the word. Dorris- Chad Bible College (DCBC) is located in an Islamic community very far away from NCBC (about 5 hours drive). We work together though from a distance to ensure that we turn every part of Nigeria (about 185 million people) upside down with the gospel of Christ. See pictures: A walk way out of their worship center. NOTE: MISSIONARIES SHOULD NOT BE SCARED TO VISIT US. WE WORK WITH THE MUSLISMS FRIENDLY AND IT CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MUSLISMS TO KNOW WHAT THEY DO NOT KNOW. YOU CAN IMAGINE MYSELF GOING INTO THE MOSQUE BOLDLY TO TAKE PICTURES. Recitation of my qualifications and efforts in His kingdom and Christian education.
