It was also great on Sunday 8, July to preach to about 300 worshipers at Church of Christ Obong Ntak on the topic “GROWING IN CHRIST” , the church elders showed gratitude and support my transportation with Nigerian Naira worth about $5. And in the afternoon same day I preach to the graduating students of Obong Christian High School on the topic “WHAT’S NEXT?”.
Again, on July 20 I led the inauguration of the Essien Udim WBS Evangelism Team at Church of Christ, Adiasim Ikot Akpan Ossom and did a training session for the brethren on Rural Evangelism Method and strategies, the use of WBS lessons for effective evangelism.
