Evangelist Cletus Okpu, the Superintendent State Minister (SSM) of Bayelsa State joined the team and preached on the topic “God’s love and faithfulness to forgive sins” (Romans 5:8).

In line with the vision of the ministry, Greater Evangelism World Crusade Rainbow Town Church took the gospel to Afaha Ikot Ebak in Essien Udim Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.


The crusade/church planting which ran from 11th of August through the 14th of August 2016 was a huge success by God’s Grace. There was a manifestation of the power of God.  With great enthusiasm, the advance team of about 18 members left on the 8th of August while the Crusade team of about 50 members joined on the 11th of August 2016.

Day 1 of the crusade kick-started at 5pm. The speaker for the night was Evang. Victor N. Ejimadu and he spoke on the Topic: The Invitation. A total of 116 persons attended and 6 persons gave their lives to Christ including the Chief of that community.

 

Day 2 started at 5pm with Evang. Victor Ejimadu as the speaker again. He spoke on the topic “The God of Mercy” and there was a greater manifestation of the power of God with healing and deliverances this night. An altar call was made and out of the total number of 241 persons that attended the crusade, 104 persons were converted.

The speaker for Day 3 was Evang. Princewill Nkiri (State Minister GEWC Akwa Ibom State). He spoke on the topic “God can fix it”. There were special deliverance sessions for individuals and the community, using the Chief who was present as a point of contact. A total of 48 persons were converted that night.

The crusade also featured medical outreach and welfare services. During these outreaches 51 persons got converted as counsellors were on standby to minister to them before seeing the Medical Doctor.

To the glory of God, the first service of the new Church took place on Day 4. This was made possible through Elder Michael Akpan, a native of the community and a member of GEWC Rainbow Town church, who donated a land for the Church and also gave his newly built house to use as temporal church/parsonage while the church land is developed.  Also the Akwa Ibom State brethren donated some chairs and other items to start up the church.

Delivering the sermon, the senior Pastor of Rainbow Town Church, Pastor C. S. Ejimadu spoke on the Topic “Upon the Rock Will I Build My Church”. After the sermon 6 persons responded to the altar call.

It was indeed a huge success as the Church in Afaha Ikot Ebak has been established with 202 persons (children inclusive).

 

 

GEWC, Bori, Rivers State was the venue of the Missions Boot Camp which held on 9th July, 2016. Paying keen attention to the great commission which is the focus of this department, the Missions Boot Camp was organized yet again to further equip Christians and remind them of the task at hand. Bori, is a community in the Ogoni axis of Rivers State, and the Missions team decided to hold this bootcamp to bring it close to the people within and around this area.

There were three sessions and the several topics were covered on Missions. Teacher Honour Kanam who was the first speaker spoke on “Preparing for Missions and Soul Winning” where he emphasized the need to be ready and thoroughly equipped before launching out because the issue is not one to be taken lightly. The second section was handled by Pastor Sunny A. Akpan teaching on the issue of mobilizing men to do work. God needs men to who are willing and ready to this assignment.

While the last session was taken by Evangelist Victor Ejimadu, Chief Missions Coordinator, speaking on “Partnership in Mission Enterprise”. Speaking, he emphasized the necessity of partners in the kingdom business. Getting into partnership with the Most High is the best deal anyone can ever enjoy.

The program was indeed enlightening as all those in attendance were intensely taught and deeply encouraged to be more committed to this course and see God’s blessings manifest all round.

In fulfillment of this mandate, a fellowship was formally inaugurated on 24th July 2016, in Brother Moka Crepen Yarou’s house located in Yopougon, Abidjan. Yopougon is the most populous community in Abidjan.

Brother Moka is an Ivorian who was trained in Nigeria in 2015 and sent back home with a mandate to establish the Ministry in Côte d’Ivoire. The Chief Missions Coordinator, Evangelist Victor Ejimadu was present for this landmark event.

Preaching from 1 John 5:4, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” he said, “Greater Evangelism World Crusade, Côte d’Ivoire is born of God and even though it is starting in parlour, she will come through and overcome”.

We trust God to give increase to this seed that has been planted, as we lift up the faces of people to Jesus even in Côte d’Ivoire. 

 

The Ministry of Greater Evangelism World Crusade as the name implies, is an evangelistic one and as such, has a Missions department that is up and doing.

The desire to win souls for Christ especially at the grass root, engendered the G.E.W.C Bayelsa East State Mission Team to embark on a 6-day Akassa for Christ Gospel Crusade.

With great passion for the lost and in fulfillment of a part of the vision of the Ministry which is to raise the faces of men to look up to Jesus, the crusade held from Friday 8th July to Sunday 10th July 2016 with the theme: Setting the Captives Free.

The brethren in the church at Okene L.G.A prepared rigorously for the crusade as they embarked on a seven days fasting and prayers before the crusade. A brother who has been suffering from ulcer for some years made up his mind to take part in the fast, he fasted for the seven days but did not notice any symptom of ulcer at some point he even fasted for 3days without food. One week later, he still did not notice any symptom of ulcer; to the glory of the Lord, he received his healing. 

On the first day of the crusade, during the midnight prayers, the anointing of the Holy Ghost filled the whole atmosphere so much that the brethren could not stand on their feet, pains disappeared, burdens were lifted and most importantly the prayer altars of the people were revived again.

Indeed God was in to set the captives free as He confirmed the words of His servants with signs and wonders. The sick were healed, a brother who had been believing God for the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues received his gift and most importantly souls were won to the kingdom which is the greatest miracle of all.

On the first day 11 people accepted the Lordship of Jesus over their lives; a total of 65 individuals were present. Prayers for the sick were made on the second day and a total of 74 individuals were present; a total of 37 individuals were present on the last day which was the grand finale. It was really an awesome and remarkable time in God’s presence.
