Nigerian evangelists gathered in two different cities for teaching, encouragement, mentorship and collaboration in March 2026.  New LIFE (Local & International Fellowship of Evangelists) groups formed out of these gatherings that will help unify the work of evangelism in this very populated nation and beyond.   

While visiting Nigeria, I was told about three missionaries who came to Nigeria in the 1890s who were honored for their work in this part of Africa. I was able to share at a large Seminary for this ECWA church in Nigeria. After the chapel service I did, we took a group picture with all the students and faculty. Then I had a Holy Spirit moment… just a simple thought that all of that seminary and even the denomination itself with hundreds of churches existed because three Canadian missionaries obeyed God and came to Africa. We should never think a missions journey has no impact.

It was a privilege to join a large outreach team to minister in the prison in Ilorin, Nigeria.   We were able to bring food, medicine, footwear and most importantly, the Gospel to 150 prison inmates.   There were two translators who helped us share a message of life and hope in both the Yoruba and Hausa languages.
