Miya is a community in Ganjuwa LGA in Bauchi State. In their history, they have never experienced an open door evangelism from any denomination or religion. So our mission was the first of its kind.
This area is considered an un-entered area by the SDA Church. In this community, about 35% of them are dogmatic Muslims, 20% are COCIN and Catholic Christians and the remaining 45% are pagans.
The people of Miya were so receptive especially the pagans; because they have a culture of hospitality. The Christians were not receptive at first because their Christian leaders told them we’re not Christians and have nothing good to offer. They later discovered for themselves the truth and opened their homes to us. The audience and open door given us was very short lived, owing to the sharp distinctive truth (The Sabbath truth, Daniel’s prophecy, the beasts and the little horn) we preached and the culture of the people of Miya.
It is in the practice of Miya people to return to their farm settlements from mid April, live there for about 10 months and return to Miya town afterwards (that’s in the month of February). So after the first week of witnessing, most of the people left to their farm settlements.
