Greetings to you and all my brothers and sisters at the Shackle Island Church of Christ, trust this report finds you well. Thank you so much for your prayers and all forms of support towards our work for Christ, God bless you.
Our last Bible Seminar/ Evangelism in the series of our first quarter 2025 planned campaigns in Nigeria was remarkable. The event was held at Church of Christ, Ikot Akpan Eyo on March 21-22, 2025 on the Theme “CHRISTIAN ETHICS” with a keynote on ” CHRISTIAN LIFESTYLE IN CONTEMPORARY WORLD”.
The event features :
* Door to Door Evangelism.
* using Tricycle/Motorcycle on Jungle roads campaigns/Gospel Tracts Distribution.
* Indoor Bible Lecture
* Open Air Preaching at night at village square.
* Meal Fellowship etc.
BAPTISM:
Two (2) Souls obeyed the Gospel and was baptized into Christ after confessing Christ as Lord and saviour, each of them received a copy of Efik Bible and again confess they are idol worshippers and keepers of Traditional Shrine in the area.
BURNING OF IDOLS – AN ACTS 19:19 EXPERIENCE:
The above two newly baptized were idol worshippers as well as keepers of the Traditional Shrine in the village and as with the experience of the Ephesians magicians during Paul’s ministry in Acts 19, they both took us to their Shrine and make open confession and denounce the idolatry practices and request we BURN the idols which we did. See short videos and photos.
The entire village was agog as the Two heads/keepers of Traditional Shrine and idol worshippers confessed Christ, baptized into Christ, Burn their idols/ the entire shrine and they all go with us around the community with their New Bibles preaching Christ.
An except from their denouncing statement ” I denounce you today since you cannot save my wife and children’s from dead when I call on you and my life is not at peace too, I don’t want you again BUT I want Jesus Christ”.
See short videos: Statement is in my local language (Annang).
It is my hope that many who patronize the Shrine will come to the knowledge of Christ through these newly baptized who were keepers of Traditional religion in Ikot Akpan Eyo village.
As soon as I am through with my medications in the hospital, our Ukanafun Evangelism Team will converge for our first quarter evaluation meeting and Thanksgiving fellowship to x-ray our activities in the 2025 Bible Seminars/ Evangelism, challenges and success, then plans in the coming months.
Thank you so much for your generosity, God bless you and yours in Christ Jesus name Amen.
In Christian Love and service,
Mojima Etokudo
