Greetings to you and all my brothers and sisters at the Shackle Island Church of Christ, pray this report meets you well.
The month of July 2021 was fruitful in our ministry, many evangelistic activities was carried out in the rural Churches area: mostly areas we have Bible Seminars and and Evangelism in the past and newly planted churches area, and much was achieved for Christ. We give God the glory.
We have baptism and Restoration in the following churches area during our Evangelism efforts:
* Church of Christ, Ikot Osute. = 1 baptism
* Church of Christ, Ikot Anta Enengobom. = 1 baptism
* Church of Christ, Ikot Ibritam. = 1 baptism
* Church of Christ, Ikot Ikpe. = 1 Baptism and 2 Restoration.
* Church of Christ, Ikot Itor = 2 baptism
* Church of Christ, Ikot Akpa Idem = 3 baptism
* Church of Christ, Nto Abia Ekpenyong Atai . = 3 baptism, Two of them were stunch members of the Catholic Church
* Church of Christ, Ikot Akpan Essien = 3 Restoration.
A total of Twelve (12) Souls obeyed the Gospel and baptized into Christ while Five (5) Erring brethren was restored back to faith.
Two (2) of the newly baptized at Nto Abia Ekpenyong Atai were members of the Catholic Church faith while others were of the Penticostalism background but all went back rejoicing.
Each of the converts received Bible and Hymns as well as Gospel Tracts to help thier new faith.
During my worship at Ikot Akpa Idem Village, the children class received New Testament Bible each to help them grow with the knowledge of the New Testament Church.
Our Ukanafun Evangelism Team met for a second half of the year 2021 evaluation and strategy meeting, reports of work, plans to share Christ was shared as well as new ideas. Prayers for Thanksgiving and singing of praises to God was rendered by the Evangelists for God’s continue Grace. They pray to God to bless you for your generosity.
