Omega Project 2 News to our Partners – November 2021
Dear Faithful Reader & Partner,
The month of November was an eventful one for us in Foursquare Gospel Church Asokoro. The month was declared “our month of spiritual placement”. This theme was taking from Joel 2:28 which says “and it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:”
Indeed, the events of November gave us a deeper understanding of Daniel 5:11 (NLT) “There is a man in your kingdom who has within him the spirit of the holy gods. During Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, this man was fouThe implication of this declaration was that God was going to release His divine presence and resources for the assignment He has given us. In November, we experienced a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The people of God were empowered to serve and do kingdom exploits. Brethren God has divinely placed you were you are for great and might things.nd to have insight, understanding, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your predecessor, the king—your predecessor King Nebuchadnezzar—made him chief over all the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and fortune-tellers of Babylon. This man Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, has exceptional ability and is filled with divine knowledge and understanding. He can interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve difficult problems. Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.”
Dearly beloved, our experience will be like that of Daniel. God has empowered us with exceptional ability and filled us with divine knowledge and understanding. What God has done in our lives is to enable us with the Holy Spirit to exercise influence for Kingdom growth, expansion and to solve difficult problems. I encourage you to use the resources and platforms God has given you to serve Him.
Within the Month, we held the Global Leadership Summit (GLS). The Global Leadership summit is an annual summit for leadership training and development. The Summit was hosted by the good people of Foursquare Gospel Church, Asokoro and saw seasoned men and women minister to God’s people. God used the summit to deliver a unique blend of vision, inspiration, and practical skills for influence over the Kingdom. Brothers and sister, you have influence and God expects you to use your influence where he has divinely placed you.
We also held the National Convention of Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria. The theme of the convention is “Great and Might things”. This theme was taken from Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” God will do great and mighty things through our lives. Great and might things will continue to reoccur in our lives. Indeed, great and might things is not a one of event and we were encouraged to sustain the reoccurrence of such events by pulling down alters that are contrary to God and build alters to God. Gideon brought about a mighty act of deliverance for the children of Israel when he pulled down his fathers’ alter and built one to God in its place. Brethren, I encourage you to build an alter that will deliver great and mighty things to this generation and beyond.
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 PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA
Greetings and love from Pretoria, South Africa.
In this month of Thanksgiving, we write to thank you for your generous and consistent support to us during the year. We are deeply touched by your heart of generosity and commitment to Christ and the work of the Kingdom. May the Lord be generous to you in line with His Word, “A generous man will prosper, he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed,” Proverbs 11:25
Last year we sent out a brief finance report and indicated a need for a new laptop of which a few of our partners responded generously, and I was able to purchase a MacBook Air early this year. This has revolutionized our virtual ministry. Since February this year, as part of our ongoing contribution to developing and mentoring the next generation of leaders for our Africa work, I have been meeting monthly with 11 of our younger leaders serving with the Navigators in 9 cities across 6 countries. These are all passionate to see the Gospel advance and transform the people and communities of their city and country. I am deeply encouraged by their enthusiasm. Here are two recent pieces of feedback:
“Thank you so much…for your leadership in facilitating this ministry learning group.”
“I enjoyed the time…the sharing and praying together”.
Your faithful prayers and generous support have enabled us to stay in mission and serve these younger leaders and many other labourers who are ministering in a challenging environment. So, thank you for your partnership in these incredible opportunities that we have, to serve in the Kingdom together over these 37 years. Please pray that the Lord would grant us more financial partners.
“This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:12
“But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.” Luke 22:28,
This comes with grateful hearts.

MISSIONARY REPORT FROM MALI
Calvary greetings in Jesus name.
Activities from Makan Diassa and Bamako.
Makan Diassa .
Most of the activities done in August were on behalf of the work going on in Makan Diassa . Though, the school was not on session, we were still busy trying to put things together to get the school registration. We computed the students’ results and took them to the regional centre for approval. We also conducted services with the students. Thank God, some of the students are still responding to the gospel. August 29, was the send forth service for the school first set of students. They graduated from primary 6 to JSS1. We don’t.t run secondary school. I covet pour prayers for the school, the school may be temporarily closed, if we don’t succeed to get the paper that will enable us run the school.
Bamako.
The following was done in Bamako.
Discovery Bible Studies (DBS), DBS has been our main activities from August to October. Our aim is to form many DBS groups. We run DBS every day. Our groups increased from four to 8. This would have been more if not because of relocations and distance. Some of our disciples changed locations. From August to October, we have two converts and the disciples are increasing in number. We once more covet your prayer for mobility. Our motorbike broke down It affects the work. It hinders us. Some of our disciples are located in far distance.
Training. September 20-25, I completed my training on Christian School Education It was a three years training, but done in 5 years. We started 2017 and finished September 2021. Thank God it’s over
Open air evangelism. We had two-day open-air evangelism in Kourale community October 22-23. Kourale is a community located not quite too far from Bamako. It is a rural area. A friend of mine pastor David YETE invited me and some pastors’ friends. We responded to the invitation. We enjoyed nice fellowship with one another. Many prayers were done for the land. We can’t talk about the number of converts for we deliberately did not do alter call to avoid identification of people but their fellow which can generate problems in the future
Prayers Mobilization. Our monthly pastor prayer meeting continues. Now it has become weekly. We meet once a week to pray for missions Our DBS groups etc. and to sharpen ourselves. Thanks
Yours in His Vineyard,
Pastor Radio Nestor Regis
MISSIONARY REPORT FROM GUATEMALA
Finally! On the road again.
For so many of us, the limitations on travel in the last year and a half have been frustrating, to say the least! In January 2020, I sent you my exciting newsletter describing my upcoming trip to Chad, Africa. I had just bought my plane tickets to go the following May, and even when the pandemic began, I believed it would be all over by then. Little did we know…
So I dedicated myself to working behind the scenes and online as much as possible, launching my Mission Possible project the end of last year. So far I have only been able to present it online, but now that things are opening up a little here in churches I am beginning to plan in-person meetings.
I had also taken a trip to Panama in February 2020 to introduce the Live School missionary training program there. We were all set to take the next step to start several schools there when everything shut down. During the lockdown period the program was adapted to offer an online version which we have just launched, and I returned to Panama in August to introduce it to groups of pastors in five provinces. We will be giving our follow-up training online soon for starting their schools.
And now I am finally going to Chad!
After a year and a half of waiting, I can finally take my trip to Chad. On the way there I will be attending our Living Word Missions bi-annual missionary retreat which was also scheduled for last year. We will be in Zurich, Switzerland from October 25 to November 1 giving and receiving training and encouragement with our LWM missionary team from around the world.
On November 2 I will fly to Chad, and for three weeks I will be ministering with Justin and Maimouna Robaye, missionary friends there who have several ministries. They have two K-12 grade schools, one of which has all Muslim students. French is the official language in Chad, and they are using English classes to evangelize the students with great success! I will be ministering to the teachers and encouraging them. In addition, I will be ministering in their church with the leadership, the women’s group and the worship group, and also sharing God’s Word in other churches in the area.
Blessings to you! In their Bible School I will be ministering to the staff and students. I am excited to see what will happen as God has put several things in my heart for them!
Thank you for your prayers for my activities as I am traveling! Your prayers and support are precious to me as they enable me to be effective in my service to the Lord. You truly have a part in the blessing that will take place, and I will share with you about it when I return!
Blessings to you!
MISSIONARY REPORT FROM NIGERIA
Greetings from Ile-Ife,
Now thanks be unto God who always causes us to triumph in Christ. 2 Corinthians 2: 14.
We give all thanks to the Lord who always prove Himself alive in our lives, family and ministry.
MISSIONS AWARENESS AND MOBILISATIONS.
The month of October opened with an invitation out in Ile-Ife to Oshogbo where we had a time of Praying together with another woman of God through which we also had opportunity for Mobilizations with good number of people in the Winners Chapel on the first Sunday of the month.
We were in about three congregations on the second Sunday in Ile-Ife, Sanctuary of Hope, The Gospel Faith Mission International and CAC Mount Bethel for the distribution of the Ministry’s Praise and Prayer Bulletin.
The Lord helped us to have a good time to speak in creating awareness among the Students of CAC students Fellowship, at the Polytechnic, Ile-Ife, after which we joined with the Living Springs also for the same purpose with the congregational Pastor.
For further empowerment for Missions Mobilization, I went through Kairos Course at the All Saints Chapel University of Benin during last week of the month.
Prayer and Intercessions.
This is achieved through weekly and monthly online with physical prayer and Intercessions for families, communities and the Nations.
We engage in online evangelism and Missions Mobilization through WhatsApp platform. We also engage in visitation to the sick and families in the community of abode.
Testimony.
We give thanks to God for journey mercies to and fro each of the journeys made during the month.
We greatly appreciate God for the opportunity to take the Kairos Course at completely no financial charge because it was sponsored by the Chapel.
We greatly appreciate for commitment to be faithfully committed to play your role it is an encouragement. You shall not lose the reward in Jesus mighty name.
Challenges for Prayer.
Join us in prayer as we continue our labour among the diaspora that God will give us converts among the targeted people. Please pray for the completion of the publication of a message God gave in a book which is at the printing press.

Greetings from Abakaliki
PREAMBLES
Looking back at what God did for us in Kingdom Missions Outreach (KMO) Inc. from the beginning of the year till present, we’ve every reason to thank Him. We need to appreciate Him for the gigantic strides He enabled us to make in our mission endeavour’s in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Surely, it could only be God!
OUR TENT-MAKING PROJECT
We were able to sustain and maintain our work in all areas. There was serious improvement in our tent-making ministry – our farm work etc.
OUR RURAL EVANGELISM
God helping us, we were able to penetrate more villages for our evangelism outreaches. Our ministry to the migrants was also enhanced. More territories have been conquered to God’s glory!
OUR MISSION SUMMIT/SEMINARS
By September, we held our first All Abakaliki Finishing The Task Mission Summit to His glory. We’re helped to meet the needs of over 200 ministers. Free books/other materials were given out free to them. Feeding and accommodation were also free. We’re looking forward to a more glorious one come 2022. We’re also able to organize our first Marriage Seminar in Abakaliki. Pastors and their kids were ministered to.
OUR MISSION TRAINING
Our mission training project, under the 10/40 World Missionary Training Center (WMTC) was recently moved to Abakaliki town from Ntezi town, and God Has been bringing His servants in great numbers for the training. Meanwhile, the training is tuition free. We need more assistance to reach out to more pastors who are hungry for the training.
Again, our monthly fellowship, Barnabas Missionary Fellowship (BMF) has also commenced in Abakaliki to God’s glory. We’re using the forum to meet the needs of rural missionaries.
Furthermore, with the help of our USA partners, Thompson Bible Int’l Institute (TBII) and African Pastors Training Ministry (APT Ministry), we’re able to organize Thompson Bible Workshops in three locations in Ebonyi State. The latest edition of Thompson Chain Reference Bibles were given out for free to participants.
OUR ABAKALIKI OFFICE
Recently, we’re helped to secure an office in Abakaliki to ease off our missions operations in the state. The new office is located at No. 1 Awka Street. It’ll also serve as a Christian bookstore/publishing outfit under our KMO Literature. We’re still fixing the place and soon, we’ll organize a formal dedication ceremony to God’s glory. as a
We praise God for the gift of a brand new motorcycle to us. It came from one of our supporting organizations. This is helping us penetrate communities/villages which before now posed a very great challenge to us to reach out to.
OUR 2021 THANKSGIVING
Praise God we organized the first thanksgiving in our church in Ntezi, Ishielu LGA, Ebonyi State. It was a rewarding event. Lots of our friends honored God through us. God did it for us, and we remain ever grateful. We also used the event to dedicate the new motorcycle gift to God’s glory. We really have every reason to thank God for His marvelous works in our ministry in 2021. We look forward to a more glorious and rewarding 2022. May His name be praised always!

Special Ministries of Agape Missions
Ben – Hadad, the king of Syria had gathered thirty-two kings to join him and invade Israel. It was a formidable force. Understandably, Ahab the King of Israel was scared. He agreed to literally give all that Ben Hadad was asking for but this pagan king went on asking and did not know when to stop. Then King Ahab, the depraved king of Israel in one of the rare bursts of wisdom sent to King Ben Hadad, a famous statement:
1Ki 20:11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.
Many times we feel the heat of the enemy and we tend to give up. But then getting ready and wearing an armor for war is not as important as putting the armor off after the war. We should never succumb to the intimidations of the enemy. These are the last days and the days are really evil. Take your stand. If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything. God fights for His people.
October was busy for us both. Our dear friend, Rev. Dr Wilson Badejo, a one time General overseer of Foursquare Gospel Church was laid to rest early in the month. He had come to Gana Ropp only a few months earlier to visit us after our encounter with the Fulani killer militias. Then we had series of meetings, spoke at NEMA missions conference and at a Women’s Conference at Bauchi University (ATBU) Chapel. Naomi organized and led an outreach to Miango area where so many people from many villages were slaughtered in September. 24 Medical doctors and other medical workers took part in the medical outreach. Over 400 widows and Children were seen and treated between 9 am and 4 pm when they closed. Drugs were given all who needed medication free of charge. It cost a lot of money but it was worth it.
Thanks to our friends and partners. The news of the last result of one of our ministry projects, the Messiah College came in the midst of all these. We were very much encouraged that they not only had a 100% pass but all subjects with distinctions and credits, for all the students. That was NECO final result!
Back in Abuja, we began to prepare for series of meetings. A missions Retreat in NIFES Camp, A National Retreat for all CAFRILASIA staff members from five countries, and a conference for Pastors in Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi States in conjunction with CAN and PFN. The last two are initiated by us. In all these meetings, the Lord has asked us to lay emphasis on His second coming and on holiness among His ministers and followers. Please pray for us.
Looking Ahead
Food costs are very high now in Nigeria so it is a huge challenge to feed our children in the Kauna Home and those in the boarding facilities in Gana Ropp. These are children whose parents have been killed by insurgency or lost their fathers and the mothers are very indigent. When security became a big concern in Plateau State many of the teachers and students ran away but the Internally displaced students had no place to run to so they stayed behind. And there are still many asking to be brought into the home. Bringing them in means more money to feed them! Please pray for provision and protection for these children and staff. Usually we make bulk purchases of grains like rice, beans, maize, soya beans in December. Please trust God with us for provision.
Some 300 widows were given packets of foodstuffs last year for the new year celebrations. Very many more are expecting such treatment this year. Please pray for provision. This unit for women, widows and orphans operates under Bege da Gobe meaning Hope for Tomorrow,
Thanks so much for being partners with us.
Bayo and Naomi FAMONURE.

RAHJ-put
India in Rajput (Sikh traditions)
Rajputs are descendants of ruling Hindu warrior classes of North India, but they vary greatly in status from princely lineages to farmers. Due to the influence of Sikhism in the Punjab, a number of Rajput villages in that state converted to Sikhism during the Mughal era. The Rajput influence played a major role in Sikhism by militarizing common Sikhs who were mostly peasants and traders. Many Rajput Sikhs enlisted in the British Indian Army, and many lost their lives during WW II. Sikhs have played a role in protecting Hindu villages from marauding Muslim invaders and are generally well regarded by Hindus.
Ministry Obstacles
Rajputs have considerable status in Indian society, and high status often brings pride. Not many who are proud are willing to accept the free gift of eternal life which God offers through faith in his son, Jesus Christ.
Outreach Ideas
Pray for indigenous workers, often of humble origins, to have the will and opportunity to take the good news about Jesus to the Rajputs of North India.
Scripture Focus
“For All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever. And this word is the good news that was preached to you.” 1 Peter 1:24-25
Scripture Prayer
Pray that as the word of God is shared with this people group and that they see its truth and beauty.
Prayer Focus
It is unlikely there are followers of Jesus Christ among this people group at this time. However, we can pray for those who will soon come to saving faith. Pray the Lord would send teachers to help them begin to grow in numbers and spiritual maturity. Pray the Sikh Rajputs would be given the gift of conviction of sin and would deeply feel their need for a savior. Pray they would begin to search for information about the savior who has been provided, and that at the proper time the Lord will lead many to Himself

-
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.

Working in silence
Johann Friedrich Riedel and Johann Gottlieb Schwarz were 2 famous German missionaries who came and bring good news to the people in North Sulawesi, Indonesia back in the 1830s. Because of that now majority of the people in North Christians follow the Lord.
However, according to some history, there were several Christian teachers from Maluku who play important roles in spreading the good news as well while the two missionaries were there. Unfortunately, these people were not well known.
Nowadays, the natives Indonesians rise up. They reach out to their own people from different people groups. They are not well known among Christians. They are not on the stage, instead, they work underground. They may not be heard but they work in silence. However, their results have made the angels rejoice thousands of times.
Please continue to pray for them as they continue to disciple and bring good news to the place where Gospel has not been heard.
The above picture: is the people who have come to know the Lord and become leaders in the house church.
Below: some people who come to know the Lord recently.
