Conserving the Harvest in Nigeria

As we reported previously, one of our Doulos Training School (DTS) graduates, brother John Abugieye (pictured left), conducted an extensive evangelistic outreach across Nigeria, by the grace of God. Now he has transitioned to Phase II - Conserving the Harvest. The goal in this phase is to follow up on those who got saved during the evangelistic outreach initially, baptize them in water, pray for them to receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire, get them into discipleship groups, teach them the basics of being a disciple, equip the saints for works of service, establish new churches, and appoint elders to shepherd those congregations.

Dear brother Len,

By God’s grace, this is my second phase of evangelism. What we are doing now is still exactly what you desired that we should do — staying faithful to the mission. Yet, I also combine it with what I personally love: organizing certain evangelical programs from time to time, as the Spirit leads. Everything remains centered on Christ’s purpose — reaching souls, discipling believers, and keeping the fire of evangelism burning wherever He sends us.

In Ohong, a discipleship fellowship has already been established. In Ukwel, Obudu, discipleship meetings will officially begin this coming Monday, and they will hold every Monday thereafter. Tomorrow, I’ll be heading to Kuyia for another outreach.

A few days ago, I visited Betukwel, though my mission there wasn’t accomplished because I didn’t meet the person I intended to see. Right now, I’ve sponsored Brother Stephen to Karu, where we’ve gone twice for follow-up visits to finalize arrangements for a new discipleship fellowship. By next week, we’ll be there in full force to officially establish it.

In every place we go, once there’s an open door, we form fellowship meetings to help believers grow.

I’ve also sponsored Pastor John to go to Yala, a far distance, to make arrangements for us to go there soon and establish fellowship with the brethren. In Obudu, a home cell fellowship is already active at Pastor David’s house.

All glory to God for the grace to keep pressing forward. The work continues.

Do You Want to Know Him?

If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe. 

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
