Why You Must Not Miss the 30th African Missions Summit (AMS 2025)

• It is informative. There will be a review of the recently concluded Lausanne Congress, loaded with fresh updates on the unfinished volume of world evangelization, especially regarding the unreached people. You will understand the current state of the harvest force globally and come to terms with realistic opportunities to engage the forgotten and very needy tribes crying for immediate attention.

• It is strategicYou will have opportunities to share whichever model you have adopted that has worked for you and your ministry.You will listen to others share theirs and together we will prayerfully, as a think-tank for the broader body of Christ brainstorm and recommend the best paradigm that will accelerate the speed of the harvest and hasten the return of the King.

• It is networking time. No single missionary, mission agency, or Christian organization can finish the work. The summit provides an avenue to meet with like-minded missionaries from at least 10 African countries that you can network and partner with.If you go alone, you will go fast but may not go very far. We need one another. The AMS is a platform for real fellowship, drawing fresh strength and grace through the dialogue, prayer and koinonia sessions.

• It is a time of celebration. Despite the staggering volume of unfinished tasks, God has done absolutely awesome work which cannot be published on the net or printed paper. we need time to truly appreciate God in praise and worship. Mission-minded frontline worship leaders like Joel Emmanson and others have confirmed their availability to lead these sessions.

• We made the cost affordable. Such types of international events should typically cost hefty registration fees, but naturally, such fees stop the foot soldiers who matter most in global missions from attending because they cannot afford it. The registration is free. The accommodation and feeding are also free. We will, however, require pre-registration to help us plan better. We have no foreign support, as many may wrongly assume, but we decided to make the event free as led by the Holy Spirit and by faith.

Free donations will be highly appreciated but not compulsory. If you are led to give, email or call us, and we will send you our account details. We also will appreciate volunteers who will be available a day or two before the summit to run errands free of charge as a service to God. Don’t wait until your oil is exhausted. Don’t pretend that the oil is not drying up. We all need refilling to enable us to finish well. The volume of the work staring at us cannot be completed mechanically! We believe in God for another mighty revival that would herald the finishing of the harvest, which is our central focus this year. We pray that the revival will envelop all weary stakeholders in world evangelization who will join us at this event.

Please, share and be there. To ease the burden of attendance, accommodation and feeding are free but you need to alert us via registration that you are coming. Online registration has since started. Pre-registration will help us prepare better to receive you.

December 2024 Missions Update

Happy new month. We are grateful to God for the gift of life and the privilege of being part of December 2024. So much has happened during our laboring to advance the gospel to the dark places of the earth. Several times we came face to face with death but God rescued us. The power encounters were severe but the victories were enormous. Your role in praying for us as well as supporting us financially and checking on us through calls and messages meant so much for us and our team. We are extremely grateful and we pray that God bless you bountifully.

 

New Frontier

As we continue our core assignments of evangelism and discipleship on all fronts, we have seen God

Fresh harvest at Benin Republic

breathe on our efforts heavily as many persons continue to surrender their lives to Jesus some of them are from the religion of what we refer to as our other cousins. The ease of their surrendering to Jesus is mind-blowing and reveals that the harvest is truly ripe. Across the nations, some had supernatural encounters in dreams which softened their heart in preparation for the gospel. Others had demonic challenges that defied solutions until their encounters with our missionaries who prayed for them and they were miraculously delivered.

 

We continue to disciple them one-on-one through discipleship platforms like the Discovery Bible Studies and pioneer church planting platforms where several Indigenous persons are integrated into leadership at different mission field levels and their input is yielding great dividends. At Benin Republic, the work among the Dukawas has resulted in us opening a new mission field at Sabena. God gave us a massive harvest there and we grouped them into an indigenous pioneer church. Pray along with us that God would shield the converts from every form of witchcraft attack there. Pray for fresh grace and anointing as the missionaries continue to labor to consolidate the work.

Comfort Boubacar, now an undergraduate of the University of Jos

The work among the children at the home continues to require more prayers as nurturing kids from unreached people backgrounds is never fun. We received five more kids during the period under review. They are not orphans but missionary/missionary trainees’ kids and we are glad they have adjusted to life here very fast. They have all been enrolled in Primary School but we have not been able to buy books for three of the kids. One of our kids, Comfort who completed her secondary school last session has been offered admission to the University of Jos. Pray that the Lord provides the resources for her to complete her registration and resume her studies. Pray specifically for the spiritual growth of all the children, that Christ be formed in them.  Pray also for funds for foodstuffs and other needs as prices continue to escalate.

 

Mission Training

The School of Cross-Cultural Missions remains the gateway to join our workforce. The current set is due for an internship where in addition to their class work, they will work under experienced missionaries for another two months. This phase of their training is costly as fees/Scholarships paid are no longer enough to cover the expenses. For those not due for internship, we also have the challenge of buying foodstuff. Every aspect of the ministry today has its challenges. Pray that the Lord will help us overcome all the challenges.

 

Prayer Needs

Insecurity seems to be persisting in some of the mission fields where our missionaries are laboring. Recently, some persons were kidnapped in one of the villages. The situation is very scary but we continue to rely on God for safety. Please pray for all our missionaries especially those working in dangerous terrain.

 

There is an increase in spiritual warfare as it seems the devil is growing more furious with the missionaries by the day. We have had cases of attacks that led us to reshuffle our missionaries. Pray for the full restoration of those concerns.

 

As you are aware, Andrew Marafa still cannot see with his eyes. The hospital at Bauchi State which handles very difficult eye cases had examined him and concluded that surgery is not an option at this level. Please, pray along with us for divine intervention. All we need now is the miracle of restoration of his eyesight. 

Some of our missionaries in Benin Republic

The value of Naira is becoming more and more ridiculous and the market situation for our missionaries earning support in Naira is increasingly harsh. It is even worse for those working in other African countries where they use currencies like CFA which is growing stronger by the day. We have contemplated supporting our missionaries working where they can get farmlands with funds to buy fertilizers and engage local farmers to farm for them. The proceeds from the farm will provide foodstuffs and complement their monthly upkeep. Please, pray for God to send in the funds required to provide such and other encouragement for the missionaries.

Appreciation

Again, thank you so much for your partnership. We will continue to count on your partnership as we round up this year and embrace another year as Jesus tarries. The challenges this year notwithstanding, we are facing the year 2025 with courage and dependence on God. We have 10 more people groups to start pioneering work, and 20 more missionaries including marketplace missionaries in the coming year. We have more church buildings/boreholes to start and complete. Mission houses for some of our missionaries to live. We have ten more motorcycles to equip our missionaries and a car rugged enough to travel rugged terrain. Please, pray about which part you would love to play in addition to what you are already doing. God bless you richly.
