Nairaland / General / Greater Evangelism World Crusade Is 45 by chimeski3(m): 10:31am On Sep 03, 2017 |
The Ministry of GEWC
THE BIRTH & GROWTH OF THE MINISTRY
On the 9 th of September 1972, in the course of an all-
night group prayer meeting in Port Harcourt, the name
"GREATER EVANGELISM CRUSADE" was repeatedly
mentioned by the Lord in his ears. At the end of the prayer
meeting , this message was shared and GREATER
EVANGELISM was born that very night ! Some of those he
shared the message with were: Elder Eluan E . Akpana ,
Evangelist Fubara Ibama ( of blessed memory), Evangelist
Ben Iloh , Evangelist Lloyd Warmate ( Nee Major ). A few
days later , the Lord gave him the motto, "To Know Jesus
And To Make Jesus Known ."
On December 6 th1972 ( again while
on His knees praying ) , he received
the emblem : the globe , with a
cross spanning it and dropping on
Africa , with Nigeria in the centre .
The words of the Ministry 's
anthem are as follows :
"To know Jesus and to make Jesus Known ; To make
Jesus known to the whole wide world ; To know Jesus and
to make Jesus known ; I will make Jesus known
everywhere . "
The vision was clear – Greater Evangelism has three main
phases of her mission just like the vision of Apostle
Numbere's call in which the Lord took him to three tiers of
heaven. The Ministry is to span over Nigeria , Africa and
the rest of the world .
With just the
scanty
clothes on
him and a
raffia bag
containing his
Bible and
tracts as his
only earthly
possessions ,
he struck out
to the field ,
beginning
with Rivers
State, his own
Jerusalem
and Judea .
Accompanied by a few dedicated young men and women ,
his first thrust was into the Ogoni- land. They were faced
with much opposition and persecution even from the few
Christians then . The terrain was rough and tough , the
weather often inclement , and many of the communities
very hostile . But those pioneer members were undaunted .
They pressed on, taking the Gospel to every hamlets ,
every nook and cranny; to the downtrodden ,
underprivileged and forgotten people of the old Rivers
State.
In 1986 the Ministry launched missions to other States of
Nigeria , and now has branches in Abuja ( the Federal
Capital Territory of Nigeria ) and the following States :
Akwa Ibom , Cross River , Benue, Lagos, Oyo, Abia, Imo,
Anambra , Kaduna , Edo, Delta , Niger
God opened the doors of Africa to the Ministry in 1994 ,
the first which was Uganda . Through the evangelical
efforts of dedicated men and women who believed in the
vision, the Ministry has reached out to Rwanda, Burundi ,
Kenya, Central Africa Republic, Cameroun, Benin Republic,
Sierra Leone , and Liberia .
The Lord through His servant (Apostle Numbere) has
taken the Gospel to the outermost part of the world . The
various parts reached includes: the United States of
America, Europe ( United Kingdom , Germany , Sweden ,
France), and the Far East (South Korea).[b] The Ministry of GEWC
