Early June 2022 Update
Greetings to you and all my brothers and sisters at the Shackle Island Church of Christ, pray this finds you well.
1. We lost a soul through dead at our 17 months old new church planted at Nto Abia Ekpenyong Atai 1.
Late brother Kelvin Justine Idio was baptized into Christ on July 25, 2021 after my sermon (see Baptism and Bible presentation picture which was earlier sent to you last year).
He (late Kevin Idio) was buried on Saturday June 4, 2022 after a funeral service attended by both Christians, his former denominational (Methodist/Catholic Church members), Community leaders and family members.
Many Preachers of the Gospel was in attendance, brother Editi Obot preached the funeral sermon while I preached during the interment session at the grave yard.
Many denominational church members responded to our preaching and promised to study the Bible with us.
2. On Sunday June 5, 2022, I and my family again worshipped at Nto Abia Ekpenyong Atai and many denominational members who hear our preaching during the funeral service came to study with us and asked many questions as I preached about the Church of Christ. A soul (Mr Uwem Abraham) who obeyed the Gospel received a Holy Bible to help him with his new faith from our stock. See attached picture.
Pray for the newly baptized and the newly planted church.
In Christian Love and Service,
Mojima Etokudo
