It is my hope that more great things (Growth in His Kingdom) will happen in our villages through our gospel and the campaigns carried out by Ikot Odiong church, our WBS Evangelism Team and NCCE, pray for His grace.
I need your prayers for our newly baptized brethren, and for the church at Ikot Odiong to be able to do more for the kingdom, to be able to maintain this Annual Bible Lectureship/ Evangelism which is really paying off for the kingdom . Pray for me too.
