ALIVE Nigeria – 2nd Quarter 2026 Personal Evangelism Report

"Once a Missionary, Always a Missionary"

The inspiring motto, "Once a missionary, always a missionary," ignited a burden in my heart and gave birth to a vision—to reach communities through health ministry and healthy food production. That vision became a reality through Awlife BACK 2 EDEN, a ministry dedicated to sharing Christ's love through practical service and health education.

Growing Young Disciples

Every Sabbath afternoon, something remarkable happens.

More than 40 children gather faithfully at our center to learn at the feet of Jesus. Together, they study the Ten Commandments, biblical health principles, the importance of healthy living, and the dangers of drug abuse.

Their enthusiasm is inspiring. Even on Sabbaths when church services end late, these children—who have never been told which church I attend—walk to our gate and patiently wait. The moment they catch sight of me, they excitedly run ahead, shouting, "She's coming!" Their genuine joy is a constant reminder that God is drawing young hearts to Himself.

April–May 2026: Orphanage Outreach

Rural Orphanage Ministry

Our team embarked on a mission to serve children in a rural orphanage. We carried generators, clippers, combs, shampoo, hair dryers, towels, soap, detergents, and other essential supplies.

Throughout the day, we cut and plaited hair, washed clothes, prepared meals, and cared for the children with love. By God's grace, we washed the clothes of more than 100 children.

One unforgettable moment was watching a volunteer continue washing clothes even after her hands had begun to bleed. She never complained and served with a joyful heart. Her dedication brought to mind the words of Hymn 441:

"Though worn with toil, no murmur from his heart arose... the blessed Hope!"

The journey was not without challenges. Heavy rain made the already difficult roads almost impassable, and we travelled through an area known for bandit activity. Yet the same God who parted the Red Sea went before us, protected every member of the team, and brought us home safely. To Him alone be all the glory.

City Orphanage Outreach – Gidan Bege

We also visited Gidan Bege Orphanage to celebrate the completion of their new facility and strengthen our relationship with the children and caregivers.

A singing group was invited and sponsored to minister during the program. Following the event, our team moved into the surrounding streets to share the everlasting gospel through literature evangelism.

By God's grace, we distributed over 100 copies of Final Crisis, The Great Hope, and Steps to Christ.

In addition, we conducted Bible studies on prophecy, helping our young people understand that gospel ministry extends beyond singing—it includes teaching, witnessing, and personally sharing God's Word.

Praise Reports

• More than 40 children continue to gather every Sabbath to learn about Jesus and biblical health principles.
• God granted divine protection during outreach in areas affected by insecurity.
• Volunteers served sacrificially and joyfully, even through physical discomfort.
• More than 100 gospel books were distributed, planting seeds that will bear fruit for eternity.

Baptism Report

While there were no baptisms during this reporting period, many lives are being touched, nurtured, and prepared for the coming harvest.

Challenges Encountered

• Limited funds for outreach materials, gifts, and supplies.
• Security concerns due to bandit activity in some outreach locations.
• Cultural barriers within certain communities.
• Difficult road conditions and unfavorable weather.
• Spiritual apathy among some of the people reached.

Looking Ahead

The journey of mission is not always easy. Storms may arise, roads may be difficult, and resources may be limited, but the God who made a way through the Red Sea continues to go before His people.

Every child taught, every orphan served, every prayer offered, and every book distributed is an investment in eternity. Though the harvest may not yet be fully visible, we trust that God will give the increase in His appointed time.

Once a missionary, always a missionary.
