SABO ONIBA/LAGOS ISLAND CENTERS REPORT July to September 2024
INTRODUCTION
We continue to thank God for finding all of us useful in his kingdom in one way or another. Our appreciation goes to those who are funding the work of God in this part of the word. May God also bless those who are taking their time to study the word of God. The third quarter of this year has passed with its activities ranging from class work to field work. We are glad that many of us were used by God to impact others in one way or another.
BEAR VALLEY WORK
The students in both centers I am reporting for are doing great in their studies. In Lagos Island, where the second set of students is in their first year, Research & Writing – 11 was taken by Oluwafemi Adewuyi in July. They took Godhead in August by Ani Augustine. While Ibanga Udoh taught the Life of Christ 4 (Book of John) in September. Sabo Oniba Center was not left out in their classes as Research Methodology 2 was handled by Suliman Yusuf. Old Testament 5 (Minor Prophets) was taught by Akanimoh while Old Testament 3B (Psalm & Prov.) was directed by Mfon Etim. The classes are going on fine despite transportation increment challenges in our nation.
CAMPAIGNS/EVANGELISM:
We had two major campaigns last quarter. The first was that we joined the Mile 2 Badagry churches evangelism program in working with Etegbin church. The church is one of the congregations we joined in planting a few years ago. Both schools also joined Agege center for the first time in attending the church planting evangelism that took place first Saturday of October in Mulero in Orile-Agege, Lagos. It was a great experience that we had more than 90 prospects after the outing. We encouraged the local congregation to follow-up the prospects.
WBS ENROLLMENT/BAPTISM:
I also want to use this opportunity to appreciate the encouragement of Bro Chad in helping my movement as I train more workers in the WBS Online Study Help project. I was at Owerri and Aba in July to train about 10 ministers in the work. Part of them is students in BVBI in Owerri.
CONCLUSION:
We pray that God bless our sponsors so they continue to do the good work in this part of the world. There is a transformation going on in the church, which will bring rapid growth in the church over time. The leadership of the churches in Nigeria is also being strengthened.
Thank you and God bless you all.
