Greetings to you and all my brothers and sisters at the Shackle Island church of Christ, hope this mail meet you well.

The month of September 2018 in my ministry and that of my coworkers went well despite my health challenges which call for recommendations for me to get some rest though I took part still in some of our activities during the month but my teammates do wonderfully great.

*On September 1st, our WBS Evangelism Team, NCCE organized her first Christian Youth Singles Retreat on the theme “Knowing It Right” at Church of Christ meeting hall, Ikot Akpan Essien village with over 150 participants drawn from 28 local congregations.

*One (1) soul obeyed the Gospel and I baptized her into Christ.

*On Sunday September 2, I worshipped at Ikot Akpan Essien and 3 obeyed the Gospel including a crippled.
*I and some of my coworkers went on a follow-up mission on a denominational pastor of the Mt Zion Light House Full Gospel church.
