Well this week marks yet another milestone for Eurpopean Apostolic Outreach, One that thrills our souls! Many of you who have visited us here in Germany over the past several years met one of the most incredible ministers of the gospel that it has been my privilege to know, Brother Joseph Ayodele.
Brother Joseph is from one of the great tribes of Nigeria the Yoruba. He came to Germany several years ago as a trinitarian preacher and when he came to Apostolic Lighthouse here in Augsburg he was so open to truth that he immediately dug into the scriptures concerning the Oneness of God as well as Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ for the Remission of sins.... He was QUICK to embrace the name of Jesus in Baptism for the remission of sins!
He served here at Apostolic Lighthouse first as an evangelist and then for about two years as Assistant Pastor here in the church preparing always for the day that he could return home to his wife and children as well as the nation of Nigeria preaching THE FULL GOSPEL! It was such a privilege to have Brother Brian Shell Missionary extraordinaire to help in ordaining Brother Joseph and sending him out!
Just after Easter of this year Brother Joseph returned home to begin ministering TRUTH throughout his country! There had already been much work to lay the foundation of a base of operations there in Ibbadan that we are still trying to complete.
Since returning they have found that this building is too small for a sanctuary and so will use it for a mission base as well as Sunday School rooms but already need to flatten the land in front of the building and erect a steel pole structure that can support a corrugated Iron roof and shelter several HUNDRED people under it for services at Apostolic Lighthouse Ibbadan!
BUT! The best thing is that even as Brother and Sister Ayodele are labouring with just the few crumbs of help that we are able to send them from the church here in Germany to establish a strong Book of Acts church in Ibbadan they have already begun ANOTHER ASSEMBLY for the name of Jesus in another state of Nigeria in a village called Wakajaye in Osun State! He and his wife laboured so hard to erect with their bare hands this wood and metal shelter.
TUESDAY they began the First Jesus Name Pentecostal Services EVER under its shade! Apostolic Lighthouse Wakajaye!!!!
They even had Sunday School on Tuesday to bring the Jesus Name Message to the children of Wakajaye!
We are so thankful for all of you who are so faithful to help us here in Europe as well as Nigeria to proclaim the good news that JESUS SAVES TODAY!!!!!!!!
Please continue to pray for us! We have such opportunity in front of us and need YOU in back of us!
Brother Joseph Conroy, Brother and Sister Brian Shell and Brother and Sister Joseph Ayodele!
Thanks for sharing the good news! It's always an encouragement to hear about what God is doing in other parts of the world!
