Chidi Ogbonna’s January 2024 Report

Dear Brethren,

We are pushing forward with the Gospel of Christ in this part of the world. We thank God for all that He has been using us to do in His kingdom in terms of Gospel preaching through World Bible School (WBS) and other cooperate evangelism activities of Umuokiri Nvosi in Isiala Ngwa Local Government Area of Abia State. God is really blessing my work with baptisms and the new congregation is moving forward.

In December 2023, I joined thousands of Christians to be part of the annual Gospel outreach at Obong Ntak where more than over thirty souls were baptized into the Lords Church.

Earlier this year, January, I also participated in a six-day effort at the holy land campus, where three days were for the youth and three other days were for adults.  At the end of the outreach, God blessed our efforts with 7 baptisms.

Apart from the above, I also participated in most of the evangelistic efforts that were conducted among the brotherhood as would be seen in the pictures I posted under this report. God blessed our efforts with a baptism at the just concluded annual evangelism of Eastern Ngwa Churches of Christ held at Nlagu, Abia State.

God blessed us also with the baptism of a brother during our one year anniversary because we used that golden opportunity to host the brethren from over twenty six local congregations that meets in and around Nvosi/Nsulu autonomous communities.

As you would see in this report God is using us mightily to achieve His mission of saving the lost within us. Thank you for all your support they are really helping us to do the work.

Yours in His service,

Chidi Ogbonna

New Church Needed

Grace and Peace be unto you through Jesus Christ our savior and king. Hope this will find you healthy and firm striving relentlessly to expand the Kingdom of Christ. Beloved, l do not relent teaching and preaching that Jesus Christ is Lord, many are responding, Obeying the good news, many are baptized, Churches planted. In my quest preaching from place to place, l visited a community, during my Open Air preaching, few brothers and sisters came out  and identify themselves as members of the Church, they said some them don’t go to worship due to distance, they called on me to plant a church in their Community. I have had meetings to know their seriousness. Finally, they wrote this letter for authenticity. I have called some serious ministers who are Evangelism conscious to brainstorm how we can achieve this divine mandate. I have planned to organize four days Open Air preaching to ascertain the fertility of the community towards the end this month. Though l always plan without fund, hoping some spiritual Christians, Soul saving conscious will help save dying souls here. The Challenges are hiring of Speaking equipment, hiring of Hall, how to cool thirst of those to be invited. The attached is their letter of request. This great work need to be looked into to find a way forward. Brethren, there are places that a calling to send the light. Help send the light or link us

 brethren that can help to achieve His will. I continue to inform you our progress. Brother Alozie

Evangelism Efforts by NIATS

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Hope that the Lord’s hands are on you all for good.

Here in Nigeria the economics and social conditions are getting harder and unfavorable as days go by. We really depend completely on God for survival. The rate of inflation is so terrible that prices of most regular food materials have risen to as high as three hundred percent. This is serious, we need your prayers.

In the last report I wrote that Nigerian Institute of Arts and Theological Studies (NIATS) students and teachers will be going out on an evangelism outreach. This has taken place with a heart warming result. The date was 22 to 25 July just last weekend, I was there myself. We hard a total of eleven converts to God’s glory. We are so grateful to God for this harvest. Here are some pictures of the preaching stands & baptisms, some baptisms were done when it was dark, that was the time we concluded the evening open air preaching.

NIATS Starts new year

The year 2020 was a bitter story the world over because of the covid-19 pandemic. It encroached and shattered the academic calendar. But God granted us the enablement to satisfy the academic requirements for the year 2020. Yes we were able to finished the 2nd semester from August to October and started the new academic session (2021) in November.

Our students were sent on their practical field works and came back with bumper harvest. Their field work engagements which lasted a month made a total of 25 baptisms and 12 restorations. Some pictures here show the busy outing. Meanwhile the 1st semester 2021 academic year has continued from 11/1/21 after the Christmas and New year celebration.

We are praying fervently for our donors that the Lord may bless them more abundantly. We also pray that the havoc which the pandemic is wrecking be completely overthrown by the power of the Almighty God in Jesus name.
