Herbert is a faithful Gospel preacher who works with various preachers throughout Nigeria. In fact, whenever we travel with Herbert, he usually tells us of a Gospel Meeting that he was involved with at some time. He owns a Land Rover which the church of Christ at Gainesville helped him to get, but it is old and easily broken down.

Herbert worked hard in the Pentecostal faith until he read and studied Leroy Brownlow’s Why I am a Member of the Church of Christ. When he read and studied that book, we began to realize that the truth about scripture and began to go back and preach and teach to those people who he had led to the Pentecostal church.

Herbert was asked to be the chief of the Ihe village as he was the eldest and best known man around. He declined this great honor so that he could continue to preach and teach on a full-time basis.

In the first part of 2006, Amos hold 15 Bible classes with 2 conversions. He helped to convert a church called the New Jerusalem church to a church of Christ in 1998 with John & Dorris Taylor. During the first part of this year, the church held four open air Gospel Meetings. Currently, that church is meeting in a brother’s house, but the roof has blown off recently.

Amos visits the area congregations and preaches for them at least once or twice each month. He uses a motorcycle which is old and breaking down to get from church to church.

Amos is currently going to school and needs help with school fees. Amos needs $2,000 as soon as possible.

Ephraim Obot converted to Christianity in 1998. None of his family is a member of the churches of Christ. In fact, after conversion, he could not continue his education because of funds and a lack of family support.

Enoch was born on January 1^st, 1970 and was spiritually born in August 1985 with the help of his father. In 1990, Enoch entered Nigerian Christian Bible College (NCBC) and graduated in 1992. After graduation, he preached at the church in Nenwe, Aninri East, Enugu State for 1 year and 3 months. While there he held three Gospel Meetings and helped the church to grow.

After Nenwe, Enoch moved to work with the church of Christ in Mballa Isuochi. While there he helped with Gospel meetings, reviving a fallen church, establishing churches in area towns, and many other things during his 7 year ministry there.

Since then, Enoch has moved to work with the Garriki church of Christ outside of Enugu. The Holladay church of Christ in Tennessee contributed some money to bring the building thus far, but the roof is still lacking.

Enoch is supported by an individual.

Reuben is a great worker for the Lord!  Reuben and his wife live in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.  He is heading up our preacher school there in Nigeria.  Since we have become involved with Bear Valley Bible Institute of Denver, they have taken the school as an Extension School.  Reuben will serve as the Director of the School.

While Reuben is employed by the school, he does not have enough to support a family.  We are actively looking for individuals and/or churches who would partner with us to support Reuben in this all-important work. 

Ebere is supported by the Crossroads Church of Christ in Bradford, AR.

Sometimes, benevolence projects are taken on by interested individuals.
