SUMMARY REPORT OF THE 2023 GLOBAL GLORIOUS MISSIONS MEGA CHRISTMAS OUTREACHES ( 22-27/12/2023)
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!! Praise the Lord!!!
Our hearts are filled with love and praise to our God for counting us worthy to be co-labourers with Him in bringing the nations to His feet. In a period where mission work has suffered a great setback due to insurgency and the activities of the ravaging bandits that dealt a great blow to the Church and its missionary mandate, God is mercy decided to use us to reach out to lost souls during this yuletide. God helped us in mobilizing men which we must confess, were daring in laying their lives to give, pray and go with the Master on His mission. Just like previous years, moved by fear and concern, many desired us to back down and suspend the outreaches due to several reasons, top of which is the security situation in the country. But we chose to believe and obey God even if it will mean dying at on the process. But today, we can only stand in awe of Him for the great and miraculous wonders of His grace by providing for more than was expected, raised an army of committed Kingdom soldiers (including children) who chose to dare God to pray, give, mobilize and go for the outreaches. We have begun a new work among the Kambari people in Benin Republic axis. We can but testify today that God is at the center of it all, and may His name be praised forever in Jesus name.

Challenges faced by the teams on the Outreaches:
1. Transporting the people. Some of the teams arrived very late in the night. While the Ankoko mission team had some vehicular fault, yet the Lord came through for them. The Katsina team while on their way to Gidan Haruna, also had to face-on with some bandits, but the Lord came through for them.
2. We couldn’t go to some of the fields because of religious people’s threats, bad roads. On our way to the Kambari fields (Benin Republic axis).
3. Many in the teams were either not able to communicate the gospel in Hausa language, or the target people could not understand Hausa themselves but through interpreters.
4. Some participants couldn’t attend the orientation due to work and other challenges this made organization very difficult for us. Although there is general improvement in the attendance, yet some still couldn’t show up.
Conclusion :
To the glory of God, all teams that went out came back safe and sound. As we keep celebrating these testimonies, we have resolved to keep pressing on until the purpose of God is established over the nations of the earth. We therefore need to pray more , give more and visit the fields more in order to encourage the brethren in their faith and get them established through Discipleship and Church planting Thanks and God bless for all your sacrificial Kingdom partnership. Let’s team up to do more in 2024. There are still more lands to conquer and the harvest is over ripe and waiting for harvesters.
Forever His,
