Dear Brethren,

No matter the troubles in Nigeria, we do not relent in God’s work. We do God’s work in season and out of season.

As titled in this report, two souls, Sister Ruth and Brother Godwin, were baptized today at the closure of Two days of 4 Fields Discipleship Multiplication Training Held at Ngbo Central, Ebonyi State (23rd-24th May, 2023).

To God be the glory. Prayers for the steadfastness of the two souls, please.

The year 2022 has ended and we thank God for His promises to us. Just as he promised to give us John 10:9-10, we thank Him for life and strength to do his work as we continue to thank all the saints for your fellowship with us in the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this part of the world until now.

This is 2022’s last quarter work report. We were able to visit and work with eight (8) of our congregations, held several youth Bible classes, and distributed numerous Holy Bibles and study books. This included the Voice of Truth, and some study literature from Gospel Gazette. God blessed these works with some of our youths who have backslid but returned to joined in the Bible class and promised not to turn back again. Furthermore, seven (7) people were newly baptised from the Ihe Town congregation, Olepe congregation in Ette Town and Effech Town congregation.

The great interest shown by youth to study the Bible with the visiting Evangelist resulted in the plan to hold an one day Seminar in Enugu Urban to study the importance of Christian Education in Development of the church. The date of the Seminar is January 28th, 2023. Help us pray for this work as we aim to motivate the youths in Bible learning to enable them to live according to the Word of God and join in teaching others.

Thanks for your support that has enabled us to do these works.

Your brother,

Herbert Nwankwo Chukwu
