We are involved in ministry with the Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA). This is the SIM related Church in Nigeria that has grown from the ministry of SIM and has now become a very large denomination in West Africa. ECWA has over 6000 local congregations and a mission agency of it own that has over 1500 missionaries in Nigeria and other countries.

You might ask "what are we doing here then"? We are involved in establishing a vision and practice of discipleship and making disciples among the pastors and churches of Nigeria . In many respects the Church in Nigeria is thousand of miles wide but only an inch deep. Meaning that it has a long way to go spiritually. That is where the need for discipling and equipping believers comes in, and that is why we are here.

We work with training pastors, church leaders, church members and students in principles of discipleship and disciple making. In the end we want to see the Church in Nigeria with a vision for following the mandate of the Lord when He said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations ... teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Matthew 28:18-20
