Dear Brothers in Christ,

May God’s sufficient blessings be upon all of you in Jesus name-Amen.

Firstly, in January, 2021 one of the student of the Nigerian Christian Bible College Ukpom, behold a new convert from Christ Faith Church got baptized through WBS lesson and also a personal Bible class with him in the world Bible School office. Here is the picture enclosed to all.

Again, most of the ex-students of the Nigerian Christian Bible College came to the World Bible School office and obtained gospel tracts for evangelism and also World Bible School materials.

Behold, the present students of Nigerian Christian Bible College obtained gospel tracts from my office for evangelism to various congregations in Akwa Ibom State.

On 6-02-21 The Nigerian Christian Bible College Ukpom sent out various students to various congregations for evangelism. They are 6 students to central C.O.C Ukpom, 10-students to COC No. 1, Ukpom, 10 students to COC Two towns/Midim, 8 students to COC No. II Ukpom, 6-students to Northside C.O.C Ukpom, 10 students to COC No. 18 Ebom Avenue Abak and finally 10 students to where I preach for evangelism. I had to joined with the 10 students for house to house evangelism, it was very interesting and I have recorded many prospects during the evangelism and I can still pursuing them. I am in need of your prayers in such time like this.    

On February 2021 Abak Preachers which I am a member organized men fellowship on the topic: “Leadership” it was very unique, many of my members took active part, I thank God for them. Here is the picture enclosed.

Moreso, women held their women gospel seminar at the Nigerian Christian Bible College, Ukpom on the topic “GODLY RELATION IN THE HOME.” Many of the ladies in where I preach took active part, it was very interesting. I advised ladies in my congregation to attend the women seminar. Here is the picture enclosed to all.

Thirdly, I took four cartons of gospel tracts to Obot Akara for Chruch planting soon. I am in need of your prayers as I had planned to do Church planting in one of the village in Obot Akara where there is no Church. The plan is on ground. Here is the picture enclosed.

On 27-02-21 Nigerian Christian Bible College held her 67th birthday. It was very interesting as many congregations on that day came and sang some songs to the glory of God based upon what the Lord had done for NCBC, many of my members were in attendances. Here is the picture enclosed to all. My prayer is may God continue to bless all in the name of Christ-Amen.

I have appreciate all you have done, our God will reward all –Amen. Planed to host WBS seminars/evangelism in 13 units of AKS and also to attend WBS great workshop in Lagos in August, 2021.

Church Planting Report

Dear Brother in Christ,

I greet you all in the precious name of Christ. I sent thanks and love to each and everyone for helping me in my work.

God will continue to bless all-Amen.

On 19-20 March, 2021 I took 18 students of the Nigerian Christian Bible College Ukpom and also 8 students of the C.A.O. Essien Bible College Ikot Usen to come and assist on the two days evangelism and also open Air Lecture in Ikot Eyem, Obot Akara.

On 19-03-2021, we have arrived around 3pm in Ikot Eyem, Obot Akara, around 4pm I went out with the students for house to house evangelism. Then around 6pm open air lecture got started, none members came and listened to the message and also the gospel tracts were given to them. On 8pm, the open air lecture came to an end, all the students and I went back to where we had slept in a brother’s house.

On 20-03-21 around 10:00am all the students embarked again on house to house evangelism and we had many prospects who had listened to the gospel, series of questions, was asked and the students and I were able to answer it from the Bible.

It was very interesting, I also used the opportunity to tell them about WBS lessons and besides I enrolled them many of them into the programme.

On 21-03-2021 Church planting was done in a renting room. Many of the prospect, whom we had preach to were able to attend the Church and promised to baptize, it needs follow-up by me and also by the preacher. Again, one of the new convert got baptized into Christ. Here is the picture of the new convert/other pictures enclosed to all.

Finally, Church of Christ, Ikot Eyem in Obot Akara got started by me through going there for WBS seminars and also evangelism. The place were the Church have been established is a fertile land and there is no Church of Christ in that village. The Church will grow, we need your prayers. My place to Obot  Akara is far, is just a three miles journey to Obot Akara. My plan is to be there on a daily basis for evangelism and also follow-up those prospects  and also for WBS programme.

Dear Brethren, 

Grace and peace of God be with you all in Jesus Name.  Amen.

As I have said in my Report of work in January 2021 that “This year begins with a big focus for Evangelism”.  That statement was made because of what is going on globally.

.  People are trying to turn Spiritual Worship into Idol Worship.  Political Leaders may turn away minds of people        to do what God says people should not do.  E.G. Legalizing Homosexuality.

It is a big excellence to us to be very very effective in Evangelism work now.

Here are what were done in February 2021.

.  At Church of Christ Atai Otoro, Sunday Solomon reported one Baptism.

.  Anameti reported 1 baptism.

.  M. B. Archibong reported 9 baptisms.

.  There was 7 baptisms in Uyo Prison Yard.

.  We had Youth Seminar at Abak City Church of Christ on February 7, 2021.

.  There was Youth/WBS Seminar at Edem Idim Manta.

.  Women Gospel Meeting took place at Nigerian Christian Bible College (NCBC).

.  Men/Preachers/Leaders Seminar was held at Church of Christ No. 1 Ukpom on February 20, 2021.

.  WBS was held at Township Church of Christ Urua Inyang, Ika on February 21, 2021.

.  There was one baptism at Ikot Akpabio, Afaha Obong reported by Uyai Joshua.

.  There was Youth Seminar by Nigerian Christian Bible College (NCBC) and Nigerian Christian Secondary School      (NCSS) at NCBC Campus on February 28, 2021.

.  We should encourage our women in the work of Evangelism. “THEY ARE THE WORLD POPULATION     INCREASERS”.  Our Youth as “THE POWERS AND ACTORS OF OUR EVANGELISM”.  And our
    children for “A BRIGHTER FUTURE”.

Dear Brethren, thank you for all the materials sent to us for Evangelism.  May I assure you that your labour, time, energy and financial support sent to us for the Evangelism cannot and will not be in vain.

May God continue to empower and bless you all in your good work.  Please keep praying for us.

Mission Update

Chad WagnerLeave a comment

God’s grace is sufficient to us and He continues to answer our
prayers. Even though cases of Corona Virus (COVID 19) pandemic
keeps on increasing, we are not caught by this dreadful virus.
Yesterday May 31 st , the Akwa Ibom State Government announced
that Churches, Mosques and all worship centres should be opened
on Sunday June 7, 2020 but to follow all precautionary measures
spelt out by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) such as
wearing of face mask, social distancing, not more than 200
members at a time. I pray that the virus may finish entirely so that
we can worship our God freely and embark on all our evangelistic
programmes. I was involved in the following activities in the month
of May, 2020.

Bro. Chad Wagner sent some funds twice to buy food for Ukpom community and area preachers.On the 8th May, 2020, I participated in bringing the poor people and Area preachers including the Chiefs to NCBC and they were all given many cups of rice to assist them during this lock down. The same thing happened on the 29th May. More than 200 poor persons benefited from the rice.

Bible Class at Church of Christ Abak Itenge

Since I helped to plant this congregation at Abak Itenge last year January 20, 2019. I feel committed to teach them every Wednesday 5-6pm even during this COVID 19. I went there on the 20/5/2020 and also on 27/5/2020 and the felt encouraged.
