NIGERIA -

"My first missionary journey to Okwango and Ukwua 1 and 2, February 19-24; actually the three communities are not in the same area, but along the same route. The first community and where we will stay and go to Ukwua1 and 2 is at Okwango.  Both communities are living in rainforest area. The information I got from a youth schooling in Federal college of education, Obudu, who listened to me preach during one of my evangelism outreaches and made a positive volition for Christ.  Now he asks, "Please, if you don't mind, come and preach to my people."  The villages in these remote places are populated with over 5,000 people. Since there is no information about Christ, they are pagans, worshipping the gods of the forest. I will be going with Justine, and the person who gave me the information."

“To God be the glory. Great things He has done. He loved us so much that He gave us His Son….” 

Josep Eluku    Another African Pastor-Teacher who ministers in Kenya.  He also distributes hundreds of LPB’s in outlying villages.
