Below is what he posted


My experience at a Pentecostal Church in Damascus, Syria ��

I visited the Middle East for the first time in 2004, that's about 16 years ago. I started my journey from Egypt, then Jordan, Syria and I rounded it up with Lebanon. During the trip, I visited almost all the important places including Al-Maghtas in Jordan, the very spot where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist.

I remember eating unleavened bread with kidney beans at the "Straight Road" in Syria, the very place where Apostle Paul was converted. I was also at Sayyidah Zaynab Mosque, a beautiful Mosque built in honour of the granddaughter of Prophet Muhammad. In all, it was a memorable experience.

During my stint in Damascus, I needed to fellowship with a Pentecostal church from Africa. After several calls from my guide, we discovered one, it was the only Pentecostal church where you'll find Africans.

I got to the church and I met African Christian brothers and sisters worshiping God in a predominant Muslim country where Christians are persecuted. The majority of the members of the church are from South Sudan.

At the close of service, I asked the man who officiated if he is the pastor and he said no. During our discussion, I got to know that the founder of the church is a Nigerian, an Igbo guy who travelled to Syria to hustle, and along the line, he was led to open a church which became the first African church in Damascus. But the guy abandoned the church and relocated to Turkey in a bid to get to Western Europe.

The church then was in dire need of a shepherd. Unfortunately, the supposed shepherd like Demas in the Bible abandoned his assignment for the cares of this world.

The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. God is looking for a man who will stand in the gap, are you ready?
