CALVARY CHAPEL LAGOS, NIGERIA
July 2022 UPDATE
All glory to God Almighty for HIS love, goodness and mercies towards us.
HIS faithfulness are new every morning.
It is the second half of the year already,we may all have gone through one trial or another yet HE'S seen us through and HE is faithful to complete that which HE has started in us.
We want to thank you ones more for your prayers for us and the financial assistance you have been rendering to us and the ministry, your support have really been helpful in many ways.
May the father of our LORD JESUS CHRIST reward you greatly.
I and my family are doing okay, Tina's pregnancy is getting bigger everyday, already 6 months old, she's strong and healthy. Thanks for your prayers.
Still, we want you to pray along with us for God's provision as our house rent expired this month to be renewed by August.
It rained so heavily last week Friday that the flood sent so many people out of their homes for days, we had the opportunity of accommodating some people from our neighborhood until the flood subsided after days and were able to go back home.
Lives and properties were lost as a result of the flood.
-Kindly pray for those affected that the LORD will comfort them.
God is been good to us in the ministry.
People are gradually coming to the church with their children and in turn brings their friends along, falliing in love with what the LORD is doing.
-Please pray for the new converts that the LORD will keep them and establish them in the faith, and make them useful in HIS vineyard.
We see a kind of growth in the children ministry, we are teaching them more of God's word and training them in music, learning to play different types of musical instruments. Though we have challenges having a separate place for them during our major service days due to the inconveniences we receive from the other church sharing the facility with us.
-Please pray that the LORD will provide for us a suitable place of worship, in fact a place of our own. I don't know how it will come, but I do know with God all things are possible to him who believes.
- Pray for provision to buy some musical instruments for the children ministry and
Generator to generate power.
Most of our brethren do not have a job.
- Please, pray as they are puting in for a job or trade that the LORD wil prosper them.
- Pray for more grace, wisdom and strength for my wife Tina as she work with the children, also pray for more labourers in the children's ministry and the entire church.
-Pray that the people will be totally committed to doing the will of God.
Pray for more harvest of souls.
- Pray for our country Nigeria, we need a god-fearing leader who will help to ease the pain of the masses.
- Pray for more harvest
In Christ,
Kefas and Tina

DECEMBER 2021 UPDATE
A blessed day to you.
We wish you the best of the season.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance.
We are so glad that GOD has been faithful in every side. His steadfast love never ceases, His mercies reserved for millions.
The LORD has been providing for our needs through various means. Thanks for praying for us.
We pray He will continue to meet every need in JESUS Name.
THE CHURCH
Thanks to GOD the Church is doing well, people are coming and we see the growth Spiritually in their lives as they take in God's word undiluted.
Despite all the struggles and troubles surrounding it in this last days, the church is still waxing strong. Hoping that we will leave this world to be with Christ as He is not of this world.
TRIP TO JOS
Our journey to Jos Plateau state was successful, though a bit stressful because the vehicle we took spent more days due to bad road. The marriage was successful even though we had no time enough to stay with families by spending more days on the way while coming, but we were able to reunite as families. My father in-law, brothers and sister in-law, cousins grandchildren etc.
My mum is doing well but struggling with eye problem. Please pray for healing. She will be 80 years old by next year.
My big brother and children are doing okay.
We returned to Lagos immediately after the wedding. The journey wasn't as difficult like the first.
STREET OUTREACH
We had Crusade/street outreach on the 5th December (last Sunday) storming the streets with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It was a huge success just achieving this goal. Waiting for resources and materials has kept us waiting for long but this time, we just have to lunch out. The church were happy about it and they all cooperated in moving equipments to the venue and in sharing the gospel giving out invitation cards to people so as to fellowship with us.
Pray that we experience great harvest of souls from this outreach and subsequent ones we'll be having.
God willing, our next Crusade/outreach will be on the 23rd of January next year 2022. Reaching out with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Please pray growth of the Church.
Please pray that the LORD will provide all that will be needed to get the gospel out.
LOVE FEAST
On the 12th of December, 2021, the church will be having love feast, the brethren will be coming together to eat, discuss (questions and answering section ) and having the opportunity of knowing one another the more as they will be inviting family members who have not been coming to the church. Presently, the brethren are contributing towards the cooking already and other necessities already.
