Reuben Egwu’s March 2024 Report

Dear Brethren,

We value your prayers and support at Dorris-Chad Mission Center.

We are doing our best in His kingdom. The report we gave in January, 2024, carried the number of baptisms we had excluding the baptisms we had during the Great World Bible School (WBS) Workshop at Nigerian Christian Bible College (NCBC) from 23rd-26th January, 2024. I arrived in Uyo on 19th January, 2024, which was a few days before 23rd for the 2024 Great WBS Workshop.

On 2nd February, 2024, we had the memorial service of Dad Ted Hardwick at Dorris-Chad International Christian Academy. In honour of Dad Ted , my parents were honoured alive with special gift of clothes and cash. It was awesome. On 3rd February, 2024, I celebrated my 51 years old birthday.

On 16th February, 2024, my mother died after a life support condition at the Federal Teaching Hospital Abakaliki. Chad was updated on her sick conditions and steps taken till she finally passed on peacefully. Her corpse has been conveyed from Federal Teaching Hospital Mortuary to nearby Mortuary at Afikpo. The burial has been scheduled to be held on 12th April, 2024. We need your prayers for a successful Christian burial.

It will not please you to know that the economy of Nigeria has gone extremely bad. Of course, we are aware that the bad economy is global now including the United States. We are praying for a reverse as soon as possible.

Our ministry covers the care of the needy. We buy food items and give cash to the widows and the orphans. We give scholarships to the indigent students. We have two students already on our scholarship list. Chad Wagner is aware of these two students in the scholarship list.

As a matter of fact, we have placed 16 widows on monthly pay of $5 each because of their critical conditions. We have paid them for January and paid them today for the month of February, 2024. We pray that God will continue to provide the funds to continue the good work.

In the month of February, 2024, we had no baptisms but many prospects with the use of Mission Printing materials, distribution of Bibles from Crossroad congregation, World Bible Video projector and use of mobile public address system we assisted the Dorris-Chad campus church to procure for Evangelism.

We have programmed in the month of May to carry out a massive Evangelism in Ebonyi state using the Gospel Chariot Van with Mission Printing materials, etc. We need your prayers.

Attached are a few pictures for the notice and above report details.

Rejoice Always,

Reuben Uche Egwu.

REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 2024

No significant occurrence this period except the high cost of living and hardship ravaging everybody.

It is by His grace we are surviving.

FARMLAND

This is the farming period which l have personally embarked upon in my little way since l had retired from service. The one l did last year helped us to feed the orphans for a short period. It is manual and exclusively for our orphans.

HARDSHIP

Nigeria is facing more hardship than ever before. Inflation and scarcity of food. Nigeria leaders have led the poor masses from disaster to calamity.

The hope we have is only in God.

I plead to you Brother Chad, not to relent your good efforts in spreading our needs to others, hoping that one day we shall conquer hunger.

The picture below is Destiny who was picked on the road when he was a week old and brought by law enforcement officers to HOLYLAND CHRISTIAN HOMES. He stayed three years before he could walk a year ago. Also Delight, a girl suffered the same faith, the same day they were brought to us.

He has started Nursery school at HOLY NURSERY SCHOOL. He is bright and intelligent among others.

Delight has a seminar fate with Destiny. They were brought together, same day by Law Enforcement Agents. She walked in at an unexpected time. She always suffers from malaria sickness more than Destiny. They are in the same class at HOLYLAND CHRISTIAN HOMES Nursery and Primary School.

Your Humble Brother

Report of work for January and February 2024

Dearly beloved,
I thank God for survival these two months so far this year. Nigeria is tough and God is faithful.
We are doing well as a family, and the church is growing despite being faced with some challenges.
As a church, we were able to organize the 2024 leadership conference on the 6th of January, where over 56 preachers in Northern Cross River participated with two other members. The conference afforded us the opportunity to plan programs of the church in Northern Cross River, and the growth agenda was set.
We also organized the 5th edition of the Couples Retreat on the 3rd of February to train couples on basic principles of parenting. Poor parenting has robbed so many men of leadership roles in the church. Gradually, the Ukpagada church is positioning itself to lead other congregations to the path of growth.
On a personal note, I led over 600 men at the World Bible School (WBS) Great Workshop that had Brian Davis, president of WBS and wife, Sondra, in attendance.
I also spoke at six congregations within this period.
God has been faithful to me and I can say that despite the bad and unsafe roads, He has always seen me through.
I plan to be in Cameroon with my wife between 8th and 14th of April to train leaders in South West Cameroon. The trip will cost 300 USD since it is through the road. If the church desires to support me, I will truly appreciate it.
I also plan to be in Sierra Leone in July and Kenya in August. Keep me in your prayers.
During this period under review, 14 baptisms were recorded and two restorations. We also lost two to the devil through disfellowship.
God bless you now and always.

The word was preached, two young persons stood up for baptism, and it was a joyful mood as they confessed Jesus Christ as Son of God!

The young lady’s father is blind but faithful in the things of the Lord. Her mother died two years ago. I am excited and hope if we have the money, we will pay her school fee. Pictures when they were confessing before the congregation and others are attached. As you directed, l will send you a reminder for Children seminar within two weeks time.

Extend my regards to everyone who loves the Lord.

Remain blessed.

Brother Alozie Uzoma.

Three Day Mass Evangelism Outreach in Felele – RAB

Beloved in Christ Jesus.

Despite the state of affairs in Nigeria, we successfully organized a three-day house-to-house evangelism outreach in Felele-Rab near Challenge, Ibadan.

The program commenced as scheduled on Friday and ends on Sunday (March 01-03) but we were unable to reach our goal of establishing the Lord’s church in the Oke-Odo area of Challenge due to the hardship and tension prevailing in that part of the state.

Nevertheless, we reached out to many souls through the house-to-house evangelism outreach, and the Lord blessed our efforts by restoring two couples who had left the church many years ago due to unexpected and unpleasant circumstances they faced in the early years of their marriage.

Lord’s willing, we shall be working on this coming Friday at Igbo-Oloyin, Ibadan with one of our fellow workers, Bro. Oladokun Samuel and the brethren of Igbo -Oloyin congregation in another three day outreach.

We are very excited to be counted worthy as a ministers of the Gospel.

Thanks for your partnership, encouragement, and support. May the Lord keep on blessing all our work together in Christ Jesus name, amen.

Sincerely yours in His Grace and Love as a servant….. Makinde Ebenezer Olufemi (The Chief Servant of BVBIN & SWSE-IBADAN and WBSFUW)

I gave God the Glory for a successful outing today. The Evangelism recorded huge success, many brethren were present, we preached from house-to-house, we also had an indoor lecture. The topic was, “Reviving Christian Ethics.” We will also do a follow-up in a few days. Yesterday, we had open-air preaching effort. This was in the village of Umuakwa. The mission materials were one of the great tools we used for the evangelism effort.

Thanks for energizing us. May God bless you and family.

Three Days Mass Evangelism Outreach in Igbo-Oloyin Ibadan

Greetings from Igbo-Oloyin, Ibadan, Oyo State!

For the past day, I’ve been joined by seven year-2-students from Bear Valley Bible Institute Nigeria (BVBIN) & Southwest School Of Evangelism-Ibadan (SWSE-IBADAN) and three instructors for a three-day mass evangelism outreach and open-air Bible Lectureship.

Yesterday evening, I delivered a talk on “The Truth about the Old and New Testament.”

This morning, from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm, we engaged in house-to-house evangelism, which resulted in a new convert!

Tonight, Bro. Odeyemi Durojaiye, one of our instructors, along with Bro. Felix Nnadoze will be speaking. The program will conclude tomorrow at noon.

Thank you for your partnership and support. May the Lord continue to bless all our endeavors in His name. Amen.

With gratitude and love in His grace,

Makinde Ebens

Dearly Beloved,

I appreciate all you have been doing for me and my family. Our God will continue to reward you all, Amen.

On 6th March, 2024, I held a three day evangelism (personal) effort around where I am preaching – COC. NO.2 IKOT OKU MFANG ABAK and I won one soul for Christ (new convert). The soul is now worshipping with the congregation where I am preaching.

Still in March 2024, I also carried out and evangelism effort with the preacher at COC Ibesit Ekoi in Oruk-Anam Local Government Area (LGA) for three days and was able to teach two souls for Christ. I have also asked the preacher of that congregation to baptize them, since the distance from where I am living is far. Both of them are worshipping with the COC IBESIT EKOI IN ORUK-ANAM LGA.

I have commenced World Bible School (WBS) seminars and evangelism in the 13 units of Akwa Ibom state. It is ongoing. I have many prospects and non-members which I enrolled into the WBS programm.

Beloved, continue to pray for us here in Nigeria, as things are very hard and tough and moreover, the cost of living is high. I therefore pray for God’s blessings to you all, Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Anameti Akpan.
