NEWS FROM NIGERIA

ENUGA | Bro Goddy Nwasu

Many people from different Ecclesias came to the CYC Meeting at Asaba-Delto State, with their own activities. There was very heavy rain for the first day when we began, yet people defied the heavy downpour, coming from all directions of the country to unite with their beloved Brethren and Sisters whom they longed to see.

There were also at the time despairing crises in Nigeria, together with an economic recession, yet our Brethren did not regard them. They attended the gathering with happiness, in order to worship together with others. The topic was “Walk Together.” In fact it was a joyful gathering: seven people were baptised from different Ecclesias. The names of the newly baptised are Igwodala Glory; Oubiebo Meshaeh,; Itak Udoh; Grace Owoseni; Chigozie Chisom; Godswill Uche Ndukwe; and Owuo Gba-Prosper Adaeze.

I use this media to thank our overseas brethren for their immense support of the gathering, especially Bro Daffyd Jenkins and Bro Philip Orah who were with us for the full time. We also thank the hosting Ecclesia.

Bro Emma Ndukwe received his Bible Basics. Could you please send some of these magazines to Bro Clement Ugwu and Bro David UD. The distribution of “When will Jesus return to the earth?” is a booklet of the moment as people here are worrying about our country’s troubles everyday, they are of course a fulfilment of the signs of the times. Many are unable to have more than one meal a day.

MBAISE | Bro Blessing Nwigwe

We are certainly living in the last days, waiting and praying for the return of our Lord Jesus back to the earth.

Many of the people in my ecclesia wish to thank you for the “Gospel News”, which helps them to know more of the gospel message and understand the Word of God. I would like to receive more books from you for my reading, and for sharing during public preaching.

OHAFIA | Bro Gaius Egwu

Nigeria is now in the grip of a terrible economic crisis; that is a sign of the Lord’s coming. Garri, which is our common food, was sold at 12 cups for 100 (Naira) up to 2015, and is now today sold at one cup for 100 Naira. In addition, many of the workers are owed six to nine months’ salary – everything is in turmoil.

The picture I enclose was taken during the wedding of our Sister and Brother Aloy, from Olokoro Kwuano Ecclesia, to Sister Janet Kalu of Ohafia Ecclesia. Dressed in the white suit is the husband, Bro Aloy, standing to the left is Bro Ibeka Thoms and Bro Joseph, both of Aba Ecclesia, whilst on the right, after a brother, is myself with my beloved Sister wife, Ngozi Gaius.

I still require more copies of “When will Jesus Return to the Earth?” with other materials, God willing, as well as, if possible, three Bibles, even already used ones would be appreciated.
