Memo on 30 Years of active Christian Ministry:
This May 26,2026 will be exactly thirty years I set out on this path....

As I knelt before the presbytery at the Asaba Acade that afternoon with thoughts of this spiritual vocation racing through my mind, I knew I wanted something authentic - a life that would be an example of godly living, a reflection of Christ's love and character. As I mark 30 years in active Christian ministry this May 2026, I'm filled with gratitude and awe that the Lord has brought me this far.

Over these three decades; a journey of faith, courage and resilience I've seen God worked in and through me in ways I never imagined. There have been moments of triumph and trials, joys and struggles. But through it all, my desire has remained the same: to live a life that honors God, to serve others with love, and to point people to Jesus.

As I look back, I see the trail of lessons learned, and the countless ways God has shown up.

While we may not have enjoyed massive followership as a measure of success in ministry today, we rejoice in the little children who have found direction through us.
Thus Far has the Lord helped us.

On one of my journeys from Abuja to Otukpo, I hopped on six vehicles to arrive home.
Paid the fare and while we were about to move...we were transferred to another vehicle and had a flat tire a few minutes after. I joined another without thinking twice. On getting to Masaka, there was a serious holdup and we were at a standstill for hours. Then, from the other side of the road someone called my name...a very dear friend heading to Makudi. I had to join him because that route felt safe. Arrived Makudi at 11pm, got a bus going to Enugu...on getting to Aliade, we had a fatal engine failure... hummm, I stood on that dusty road till morning and got a cargo taxi heading in my direction. Arrived and took a bike ride home.
One thought kept me going..."my destination". Don't fall for anyone shaming you through the process.
The number of switches should not be the subject matter....the goal should.
As long as I get to my destination...
"Iam OK".

We pray that Indigenous identity be rooted in Christ, not colonial wounds.

Psalms 98:4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

We pray for the healing of generational trauma, the mending of broken hearts, and the restoration of identity.
We stand against cycles of addiction, violence, su***de, and despair. We declare freedom, hope, and wholeness over every community.
We believe that healing, restoration, and reconciliation is possible in Jesus name.
First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all people....1 Timothy 2:1
