SABO ONIBA/LAGOS ISLAND CENTERS REPORT July–September 2023.
Introduction: God’s faithfulness knows no bound. What looks like endless years is gradually coming to an end. The first set of students in Lagos Island Center is about to complete their 48 courses. There is hope that those who meet the qualification will graduate this December. We, therefore sincerely appreciate your effort in spreading the Gospel but more in empowering us to be fishermen in order to prepare great harvest. The effect of your sponsorship can not be over emphasized, we thank you sincerely.
We are scouting for new students in Lekki-Ajah axis which is the new Lagos. We have 4 new students presently hoping that more will join before the end of the year. I want to also thank God for being part of the year Great Workshop and Port Harcourt Center graduation ceremony. The goal of helping out as local missionary is working out as I spent 2 Sundays in a month in the last quarter visiting and encouraging young congregations in Lagos. We hope to start organizing leadership program for them.
ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES IN SABO-ONIBA/LAGOS ISLAND: Three courses were taken in three months respectively in the two centers. Augustine Ani took the Major Prophets (Ezekiel and Jeremiah) and Akanimoh Archibong taught them in Life of Christ: the Book of John and Suleiman Yusuf lead the class through Romans. In Sabo-Oniba, the resident minister in the person of Joseph Okonta will be officially retiring from the Pulpit Ministry after serving for 48 years in Ondo and Lagos state respectively. Our classes continued as Christian Evidence was led by Akanimoh A while Prison Epistles was directed by Okoro Chinyere and Scheme of Redemption taught by Monday Unoke.
