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,

 

How is everything going? I trust you are doing well.

By God’s grace, we are gathering the harvest gradually! The LTGs (Life Transformation Groups) have been formed. Though not all believers here can read, those who can have been taught the LTG pattern and have started forming the groups. 

More updates coming as the work continues! God Bless. (see photos in album).

In the prison, the only thing I can do now is to form an LTG (Life Transformation Groups) among the inmates. The testimonies I’m receiving now are truly amazing. One of the members told me that he used to read the Bible before he was imprisoned, but now he can no longer see clearly. I prayed for him to regain his sight and ability to read the Bible again.

Another man shared that he has never gone to church in his entire life, but now he is asking me to always pray for him so he can live only for Jesus and reflect His image.

Those who have Bibles and can read have joined the LTG group, and the results are remarkable — everyone who joined the LTG has completely stopped smoking. Many others want to join but don’t have Bibles to participate. As I continue working with them, I’m praying and thinking about how to involve even those without Bibles.

Many have also promised to stop smoking. The LTG is really working powerfully here in prison. Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to take pictures within the premises, so I may not be able to post any images. I truly wish I could show you photos or videos of the remarkable testimonies happening right now.

I'm going to print all the articles and share to all the groups, as I'm going next to get updates from and make input where necessary.

Thanks,

Bro. John

Dear brother Len,

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?"
