Omega Project 2 News to our Partners – December 2021
Dear Faithful Reader & Partner,
The Month of December was set aside to reflect on God’s goodness and faithfulness. It was “our Month of Gratitude”. Psalm 124:1 says, “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say”. Thanksgiving and gratitude provoke revelation from God. Brethren, the month of December was filled with revelations. In December, we discovered that when we give thanks and praise to God, the earth responds. The forces that govern the earth will respond and align to favour you when you show gratitude to God. Friends, our deepest form of worship is thanksgiving.
“Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.” – Psalm 67:5
In December, we took time to reflect on God’s revelation to us in 2021. We considered the many things God did for us from January to December. Be encouraged to count the blessing you received from God in 2021 and express your heart felt gratitude to Him. God will cause the earth to yield her increase for you as you do this. I pray you receive a release of God’s grace that will provoke gratitude in your heart.
Dearly beloved, recall how Paul and Silas were locked up and how God intervened and released them from captivity when they began to praise and Worship Him. God inhabits the praise of His people (Psalm 22:3). Your gratitude will bring you out of captivity into the promise God has for you. It is instrumental to note that when the people of Judah sang and praised God, He ambushed their enemies.
“And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten”. – 2 Chronicles 20:22
As you express your gratitude to God this season, He will defeat everyone and everything troubling you and give you peace. Brethren, it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto the name of the Most High. Invariable, it is a bad thing not to give thanks to the Lord. Whatever we give thanks for increases in value and whatever we fail to give thanks for decreases in value. Remember, a grateful person tends to become great.
To express our gratitude to God, the Omega news for this Month include a session titled “Praise God” in the report of all the missionaries. We Praise God for the testimonies He gave us all through the year 2021 and encourage you to join us in praising and appreciating God for His mercies that endures forever. Your gratitude will usher into your life a miraculous year 2022.
Dear friends, our gratitude will not be complete if we fail to appreciate you for your continued support. Your giving and prayers ensured that in 2021 Omega Project 2 continued to reach out to missionaries in the frontier of world missions. We celebrate you and encourage you not to relent but rather increase your support for the good work of Omega Project 2.
Maranatha!

“It’s good work you’re doing, helping these travellers on their way, hospitality worthy of God himself! They set out under the banner of the Name, and get no help from unbelievers. So, they deserve any support we can give them. In providing meals and a bed, we become their companions in spreading the Truth.”

MISSIONARY REPORT FROM AFGHANISTAN
Dear Brethren.
We have heard and read how the Taliban took over the government in Afghanistan. There is fear that Islamic law will be imposed as the Taliban take over. As time goes by it proves the Taliban has not changed. There are so many sad stories that we may read and hear from the country. However, God has a bigger plan. While it appears evil is winning, God is triumphing as many Afghans are beginning to seek God with all their hearts.
Today our immigrant ministry is celebrating Christmas. About 80 people showed up mostly are Afghans. Many of them have accepted Jesus in their lives. Some are still learning and others are new to Christianity. Some who already accepted Jesus, actively share Jesus with their friends and families. Christianity may seem to loosen grounds in the country of Afghans, but Jesus has won many Afghans hearts.
Praise God!
1. Praise God for all He is doing in Afghanistan.
2. Praise God for the many Afghans who are beginning to seek God.
3. Praise God for the Afghans who have become Christians.
4. Praise God for the Afghans who actively share their faith.
Please continue to pray so more Afghans and other immigrants hear the good news during this Christmas season.

MISSIONARY REPORT FROM ABIDJAN, CÔTE D’IVOIRE
Calvary Greetings,
These months were devoted to the preparation of the lessons to be taught but also to the resumption of classes. In the church Sunday School department, I supervise the junior class, whose age is between 3 and 7 years old.
To the glory of God brother AB gave his life to God and became an active member to the point of teaching in the children class. I remain grateful to God for his faithfulness. Glory to God in the highest during evangelism and film screening, the Lord added ten converts to his Church.
GOOD NEWS CLUB
Regarding the BENI neighbourhood good news club: I worked with a sister from our Church, the teachings that we continue to bring to children are about the love of God through Jesus Christ. In the month of October we prayed for these children individually to learn more about their condition and to access the work we are doing with them. One of the teenagers I had prayed for in years past because of the blood disease (sickle cell disease) that she had, recently said most men of God have declared that she is going to die. But we are trust God for preservation of her life at the same doing follow-up with her.
The ANONO Good News Club
Tuesdays and Saturdays has been set aside to teach the teens and kids in the neighbourhood the love of Christ and the story of the Samaritan. Trying to disciple and encourage them, also advice them to go to school.
ACTIVITIES WITHIN LAMI
The ministry every year organizes a program of building and teaching for the body of Christ, this program is called ECOMIN (School of Ministry) which started for this year in June and ended in August. The theme “CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GOIRE” taken from the passage of Col 1: 27 was the theme treated by the Benjamins from 7 to 11 years old. Then for adolescents aged 16 to 20 the theme developed was “LIVING FOR GOD IN JESUS CHRIST” taken from the passage of ROM 6:11.
The last retreat was for adults, and the theme was “SHINE LIKE TORCHES IN THE WORLD” from the passage in Phil 2:15. God helping activities like; prayer section, teaching and discipleship including words of encouragement was carried out in the village of Anono. We had a number of 8 persons working with us. 2 couples, 4 housewives, 2 men, to the glory of God just got married.
I have had teaching meetings with AWA on creation, prayer, sin. We had times of prayer for the AC family, and times of reviewing the teaching on our “Christian Identity.” we spent some time with KOUASSI’s family for a tithing education.
Praise God!
1. Praise God for brother AB and for all the converts the Lord added to the Church

Unreached of Day
Gil Bedouin in Morocco
Morocco in Gil Bedouin
Gil Bedouins traditionally live a nomadic lifestyle. The word “Bedouin” comes from the Arab word “bedou,” meaning “desert dweller.” Nomadic Bedouins number about one-tenth of the population of the Middle East. Bedouin life is generally pastoral, raising camels, sheep, goats and cattle.
Ministry Obstacles
It is almost impossible to find Christians who are willing to live the lifestyle of nomadic people for the sake of the gospel. It will take hearty believers who can and will live among them for years, learn their language and share the gospel in a way that makes sense in their culture.
Outreach Ideas
Believers who are willing to live like Bedouins can share the JESUS Film and gospel recordings.
Scripture Focus
“Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” Revelation 15:4
Scripture Prayer
Make this also your song of praise to the victorious King of kings!
Prayer Focus
Pray that believers who encounter Gil Bedouins would use opportunities to develop friendships with them and earn their respect to speak the truth of the gospel to them. Pray for courage and accurate communication. Pray they would see their desperate need for Jesus Christ, the only savior. Pray that Gil Bedouin children would be educated in technology to be participants in the modern world.

We will not forget to pray for Nigeria, for the Persecuted Church in Nigeria, for the Families of the Executed & Beheaded Martyrs, and also for LEAH, GRACE & ALICE & many victims of Terrorism in Nigeria.
-
The truth to be made known about the fate of Leah Sharibu, Grace Taku, and Alice Ngada as well as other workers captured by Boko Haram and “Herdsmen” terrorists (John 8:32).
-
All Christian captives held by jihadist and terrorist groups in Nigeria to be surrounded by angels and upheld in their faith as they become witnesses living or executed for our Lord Jesus Christ among their captors (Philippians 1:12-13).
-
The supernatural intervention by our Holy God to release Leah and remaining captives from their demonically motivated captors (Acts 16:24-26).
-
Nigeria’s President Buhari and Nigerian military to be supernaturally moved to action on the part of these captives of Islamic terrorist groups. May their locations be found, and may the government & the military (without knowing what they do, actively intervene on their behalf (Mark 4:22) to set them free.
