Follow-up: A System of Soul Discipleship – By Sis Jane Edema
“Following up on converts involves providing ongoing support, guidance, and resources to help them navigate their spiritual journey and deepen their commitment to their beliefs.
Now, let’s consider seven key advantages an organized follow-up system brings to bear for a new convert in particular and the body of Christ in general.
Nurturing Spiritual Growth: Follow-up allows mentors or spiritual guides to support and nurture the spiritual growth of converts. It ensures that they receive ongoing guidance, education, and resources to deepen their understanding of their newfound faith. This consistent support fosters a strong foundation and facilitates their progress on the spiritual path.
Integration and Adaptation: Conversion involves a significant transition in beliefs and practices. Follow-up helps converts integrate their newfound faith into their daily lives, adapting to new rituals, ethical principles, and ways of living in alignment with their spiritual values. The guidance and support provided during follow-up ensure a smooth and successful integration process.
Addressing Questions and Concerns: Converts often have questions, doubts, or concerns as they navigate their new spiritual path. Follow-up provides a platform for mentors or spiritual guides to address these inquiries and provide clarifications. By addressing doubts and concerns, converts can deepen their understanding, strengthen their faith, and overcome obstacles that may hinder their spiritual growth……”

Impacting Missions: Unleashing the Gift of Tongues and Interpretation – By Sis Jane Edema
“Drawing inspiration from the Book of Acts 2:5-11, we uncover the profound impact the gift of tongues and its interpretation can have on missions. These extraordinary spiritual manifestations witnessed on the day of Pentecost, continue to shape and transform the landscape of missions today.
Let’s explore three(3) ways in which the gift of tongues and interpretation, as exemplified in Acts 2:5-11, can ignite remarkable breakthroughs in missions.
Are you ready? Okay, let’s dive right in.
▫️Supernatural Communication Across Language Barriers:
As witnessed on the day of Pentecost, the gift of tongues empowered the disciples to speak in diverse languages, bridging the vast linguistic divide among those gathered.
Similarly, in missions, the gift of tongues equips missionaries with the ability to communicate supernaturally in unknown languages. This extraordinary gift breaks down language barriers, allowing the Gospel to be shared with individuals from every nation, tribe, and tongue.
The accompanying gift of interpretation ensures that the message resonates deeply, facilitating understanding and receptivity among diverse cultural groups.
▫️Authentic Cultural Engagement and Connection:
Acts 2:5-11 reveals how each person heard the disciples speaking in their native language. This remarkable phenomenon highlights the gift of tongues as a powerful tool for authentic cultural engagement.
When missionaries speak in the native tongues of the people they serve, it demonstrates genuine respect for their culture and fosters a deep sense of connection. This approach opens doors for meaningful relationships and establishes trust, creating fertile ground for the seeds of the Gospel to take root.
The gift of interpretation enables…..”

Jesus Only Is Our Message By Sis Jane Edema
“As we embark on the mandate of making disciples of men, we must remember that Jesus alone should remain the focus, not His doings.
Emphasizing His doings (miracles, signs, wonders) over who He represents to the Body risks us birthing Christians without roots.
And the natural occurrence is a production of Christians who never abide when their faith is tested.
Jesus is the root, His doings are akin to fruits or leaves…..”

The Unreached People’s Group By Sis Jane Edema
“It was my first missionary journey to Togo and we were on evangelism in one of the unreached communities.
As usual, I was with an interpreter since I didn’t have a grip on the local language.
We met a lady who was about to prepare lunch for her family and engaged her with the gospel.
As my custom is when sharing my faith, I asked her if she knows who Jesus is, and her response came back as NO!
I didn’t think the interpreter communicated my message correctly, so, I urged him to ask her again….”

Missions in History – Lessons from William Carey By Sis Oluwaseun Ogundare
“Throughout history, we see stories of men used by God. Men who gave their all for the course of the gospel.

‘Until No Place is Left Remaining’ – A Message by Pastor Olusegun Kolade
“Unless we take personal responsibility by taking the gospel to the unreached communities and the unsaved things will continue to remain the same.
Only those who are willing and ready to make selfless sacrifice can finish the unfinished task.
We should be more concerned about places yet to be reached than already reached places…”

The Mission of the Church – A Must Read!!!
‘Mission, simply refers to an important assignment given to a person or group of people. If any believer is asked the meaning of ‘church’ he or she will most likely say ‘a gathering of believers, the bride of Christ or the body of Christ’. At this junction I must reiterate the truth that there is ONE CHURCH, ONE BODY under Christ. There may be different locations across…’

From Ibadan to Miya on a Mission Trip
“It’s not easy leaving your environment to an unfamiliar one, especially one with different cultural values, language difference, believe, food, dressing etc.
It takes a man who is completely dead to flesh to relate with these wonderful creatures of God. Though, such a life seem weird in many ways to the ordinary man, but they are very dear to the heart of their Creator!
Stepping out on the first day of our outreach in Miya Town was…”
