In 2018, we were appointed to serve with Fundamental Baptist Missions International; in January 2019, we started a 32-month deputation. After visiting 175 churches to raise financial support, we arrived on the field in October 2021. I would like to give a summary of what God has done and is doing through us. Any company in which you invest will usually send an annual report of how your contributions are faring; they tend to be very detailed, full of numbers, and quite boring. On the contrary I hope that you will see our details as a depiction of our efforts to be accountable, the numbers as representations of souls and churches, and the report as an encouraging description of the return on your investments in our ministry:

Serving at Truth Baptist Church, Abuja, Nigeria

– My wife has started and coordinates a nursery during the Sunday morning services. She also teaches a teen girls SS class and plays piano for the congregational singing. She is learning sign language to be able to help in our deaf ministry.

– I am on the pastoral staff and fill in as a substitute SS teacher and preach periodically during the services. We are involved in the regularly scheduled soul winning and visitation times.

– I have helped to coordinate a discipleship program where we disciple converts and laymen and train those who are wanting to disciple.

– I will oftentimes go and see first time visitors in their home. During this visit, I normally can give a clear presentation of the Gospel and teach on eternal security, baptism, etc. Home visits are very important here and a good time to gather the family and preach the Gospel.

– I’ve taught ten six-week courses at our Bible institute that is held every Saturday.

– I’ve had the opportunity to preach and give the Gospel in schools, police stations, in village meetings, etc. We’ve seen many respond to the Gospel in these unique venues.

– We’ve been able to help coordinate some big days at our church (Police Sunday, Academy Sunday, Friend Day, etc). In November 2024, we held church services at 18 different church member’s homes with 882 people in attendance and 55 accepting Christ!

– In our own personal Soul winning efforts, we’ve seen about 60 people get saved.

Bible Institutes

– I’ve travelled to ten different independent Baptist churches, in seven different states, and have had the opportunity to help each of them start a Bible institute at their church. Many of the pastors are graduates of our Bible Seminary. We believe that God will use these institutes to train men who will pastor their own churches soon. We not only help the church start the institute, we also will continue to provide the pastor with advice, encouragement, materials, and financial help as he leads the institute.

– In the 10 institutes, there are around 75 students enrolled.

– During these travels, I’ve baptized about 35 people, and we’ve seen at least 125 souls saved through Soul winning, night Jesus film shows, and special church services.

These are some of the things that God is doing through us. There is so much more to be done! We hope that you will consider being a part of what God is doing here in Nigeria, West Africa.
