Calvary greetings in Jesus' name. Happy New Month, and may this month of April 2025 bring you God's blessings beyond your desires and prayers in Jesus' name. Thank you so much for your partnership, particularly this year. God has been very gracious to us and helped us cover much ground despite the odds.
Conversion and Discipleship
Several persons surrendered their lives to
Christ between January and March 2025 during our camp meetings, crusades,
outreaches, and one-on-one evangelism. These new believers are from different
religious backgrounds and are from virtually all mission fields. Discipleship
remains the most critical aspect of our mandate, and all the converts are
receiving attention. Some of our converts are discipled secretly because of the
implication of exposing them very early to brutal persecution. We covet your
prayers that Jesus might be formed in the new believers.
Indigenous Discipleship Camp meetings
In addition to the several discipleship
efforts, the discovery bible study groups are thriving, and a significant part
of the three camp meetings held was devoted to teaching the Indigenous
believers how to grow the Disciple-Making Movement(DMM}. The IBC was held in
three locations. The first was in Bum, which attracted over 300 indigenous
believers from Bolu, Dir, Juga, Kobo, Sanga, etc. The second one was held in
Samunaka, Niger State, and attracted over 400 persons from Kebbi and Niger
State. We had Indigenous believers from Dukawa, Kamberi, Fulanis, and Bokko.
The third IBC was held at Libantee in the Benin Republic. All the camp meetings
were highly enriching.
30th African Missions Summit (AMS 2025)
30th African Missions Summit delegates in plenary session
On March 19-23, 2025, over 500 persons
converged at the headquarters of Grace Foundation to pray and deliberate on the
remaining harvest and the coming harvest. We had mission leaders from over 20
ministries/mission agencies and various mission fields and nations represented.
We spent quality time worshiping God, had a parade of the nations, and seasoned
missionaries, including Evangelist Sunday Oguche, Papa Joe Egwuda, Missionary
Yemisi Madamori, and Rev. Paul Audu, brought the word of God. Also, Evangelist
Elsie Govender from the United States of America and Evangelist Peter Ikechukwu
from Brazil served as speakers.
Missions Training Updates
Batch 27 of the GF School of Cross-Cultural Missions
The Grace Foundation's School of
Cross-Cultural Missions graduated her 27th batch of missionary trainees. Ten
missionaries out of 17 successfully scaled through. The other seven needed to
complete their clearance before participation in the graduation. We currently
have another batch of 18 students undergoing training. We covet your prayers
for God to process them properly so they can fit into increasingly rugged
situations on the mission fields. Most of the new students could not pay their
fees and required heavy financial support as most of them came from unreached
people backgrounds whose local assemblies still did not have a proper
understanding of supporting their missionaries.
Home of Grace (HOG) Updates
God has been very gracious to us despite
the numerous challenges encountered in our ministry of raising kids from
unreached people backgrounds/missionary kids. Three of our kids are in their
final year of High School. They are warming up for their final examination. Two
of the teenagers in the university are giving us problems, forcing us to
release them so we can concentrate on the younger ones. We continue to covet
your prayers.
Staff Matters
On a very sad note, Rev. Yinka Laoye, a member of Grace Foundation's Board of Trustees, passed on to glory in March 2025. His death has left behind a vast vacuum that only God can fill. We covet your prayers.
Two of our children, Jemimah Abah/Jeremiah
Joseph and Nehemiah Abah/Sharon Bajeh, are getting married on April 26, 2025,
and May 3, 2025, respectively. Both weddings will hold at the headquarters of
the Grace Foundation, and you are invited to come and share in their joy. Join
us to pray for a successful wedding and home.
Seven new staff have formally joined the
growing list of the Grace Foundation team after their mission training. They
are posted to Zarazong in Plateau State, Kamberi in Niger State, Benin
Republic, and Niger Republic. Please pray along with them for grace, wisdom,
and fresh unction to cope. Pray that God will raise financial partners to help
adopt the missionaries and pay their bills.
Conclusion
Once again, thank you so much for taking
the time to read through and for the role you have played in this ministry thus
far. May God constantly bless you for all you do to advance God's kingdom. To
move forward, we still need you to keep praying for us and to support us
financially to help complete some projects and start new church
buildings/missions houses. May God bless you.
