A Humble Prayer Request from the Mission Field
Dear beloved brethren in Christ,
If you are reading this message today, I ask you with all my heart to pause for just a moment and whisper a prayer for me, my team, and every missionary and evangelist who is tirelessly proclaiming the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, especially here in Northern Nigeria.
Every day we walk into villages where fear has become a way of life. We have comforted widows whose husbands were murdered for their faith, prayed with children who have become orphans overnight, and stood beside believers who have lost everything except their hope in Christ. Many times we travel knowing that we may not return home. Yet we continue, because the love of Christ compels us.
There are nights when the sound of gunfire echoes through our communities, and there are days when the burden feels almost too heavy to carry. But in those moments, we remember the words of our Lord:
> "I will never leave you nor forsake you." — Hebrews 13:5
That promise gives us the strength to keep going.
Please pray that the Lord will surround us with His divine protection, fill us with unwavering courage, and grant us His grace and mercy as we continue to preach His Gospel. Pray that every missionary on the frontlines will remain faithful, joyful, and steadfast, no matter the cost.
The enemies of the Gospel may try to silence us through persecution, violence, and intimidation, but they cannot stop the work of God.
As the Apostle Paul declared:
> "The word of God is not bound." — 2 Timothy 2:9
By His grace, we will continue to carry the Good News to the ends of the earth until every heart has the opportunity to hear the saving name of Jesus Christ.
Please do not forget us in your prayers. Your prayers strengthen weary hands, encourage discouraged hearts, and remind us that we are not standing alone.
May the Lord bless you abundantly for remembering those who serve on the mission field.
In Christ alone,
Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo
Sugar is NOT the real enemy.
The biggest threat to your health is something you probably do every single day without thinking.
Most people blame sugar for diabetes, weight gain, and poor health.
But the truth is, your body can handle some sugar.
This is what it can’t 👇🏾

This is William Bellingham.
He is Jude Bellingham's grandfather.
Here is William in 1987 in one of UK's toughest TV quiz show:
“Mastermind”.
He was very important in the life of Jude growing up but he sadly died just before Jude’s first game for England. https://t.co/QVRehGx6sp
Today, we celebrate with one of our own, Osasere Okundaye, as she shares the inspiring testimony of becoming Nigeria’s youngest Chartered Accountant at just 16 years old.
This extraordinary achievement stands as a powerful testament to God’s faithfulness and what can be accomplished through diligence, discipline, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Her journey is an inspiration to young people everywhere, proving that with God’s grace, determination, and a clear vision, age is never a barrier to greatness.
Congratulations, Osasere! We pray that this remarkable milestone will be the beginning of even greater accomplishments and that God will continue to lead you from glory to glory.
This JSS 3 boy, Victor Onwubiko, has finished K.A. Stroud’s _Engineering Mathematics_ back to back. He is the best mathematician in the country at the junior secondary level.
He will be competing with students from 154 other countries this week in Rome, Italy, at the fierce International STEM Olympiad competition.
He is a genius, and the world will celebrate him.
When I watched the Ecuador coach celebrate so passionately after his team's victory over Germany yesterday, I was reminded of a profound truth often associated with Napoleon Hill:
"The most powerful mastermind alliance a man will ever form is in his marriage. A woman, rightly chosen, aligned in vision, and honored in spirit, can make a man unbreakable. But a woman wrongly chosen or unaligned in purpose will drain him of vision, strip him of confidence, and sentence him to spiritual poverty.
Many men fall not because of failure in business, but because of conflict in the home. They rise with vision only to have it mocked. They speak with clarity only to have it questioned. They act with courage only to be met with resistance. This is not partnership. This is war. And a man at war with his household cannot build peace outside of it.
But when a woman supports a man's purpose, when she believes in his destiny, when she reflects his greatness before the world sees it, that woman becomes the mastermind in motion. Her energy fuels him. Her intuition sharpens him. Her peace steadies him. Her presence becomes a sanctuary. And the man with that kind of partner is dangerous to every limitation.
You must choose this alliance with wisdom. And if you are already in one, you must train it, not ignore it. Share your aim. Speak your plan. Invite her insight. Draw strength from her spirit. This is not weakness. This is wisdom. This is law."
WHY I SHARE MY LIFE STORIES!
I had a very tough and poverty-ridden background. I ran away from home from 1973 to 1976 to live with an Anglican priest. I was also a houseboy to an Indian couple from 1977 to 1978 to pay part of my school fees. I wasted 15 years of my life after finishing my A-Level before graduating from the university.
In the UK, I reported to the immigration authorities three times a week for 8 years, lost several appeal cases, used 8 different law firms, spent thousands of pounds on legal fees, was detained by immigration for 5 weeks, and was almost deported before I became a British Citizen, a Solicitor, and a pastor.
Just like the stories in the Bible that strengthened our faith in God, true real-life stories give people hope. If it does not apply to you, move on. Don’t argue with other people about another person’s story.
I love listening to preachers who share their life stories, and it has helped me to grow in the faith.
Do not be ashamed to share your life stories; you can save many lives and help others succeed without even knowing it.
So, if you are reading this, don’t give up regardless of the challenges. If you don’t give up, you will go up. Have a brilliant week!
