Thank you so much for being there for us. God bless\nyou all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hired someone to take me to worship at our newest planted church at Ata\nEssien Obio Akpa village, on arriving there I made some visitations and 17\npeople turned up for worship as I preached on the topic &#8220;CHRIST AND HIS\nCHURCH&#8221; .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A young man (Ofonbuk&nbsp; Udom) accepted the Gospel and baptized into\nChrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The converted Mormonism (Mr Akpan&nbsp; Nnah) I mentioned in my last reports\ndid exactly what happens to Apostle Paul at Ephesus in Acts of the Apostle\nchapter 19 when many who practice magic art brought their together to be\nburnt.&nbsp; Mr. Nnah confessed that he has charms and other Idolatrous\nitems\/African Traditional Religious Pots and he is the keeper of his ancestry\nshrine as well as some Mormonism books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IN HIS STATEMENT , HE ASKED :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Nnah : What shall I do to be free?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mojima : Believed in Christ with all your heart and repent from your sins of\nidolatry. Acts 2:37.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Nnah : Are you assuring me that I will not be harm by the gods?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mojima : No!&nbsp; I took him to Acts of the Apostle chapter 19. But you\nmust not go back to this evil practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Nnah : Will you expose me to the whole&nbsp; community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mojima : No, but your conduct in the community after this exercise must\nreflect the Gospel of Christ,&nbsp; Philippians 1:27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Nnah : Let Us go to my house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On getting to his house, he took me to his bed room and brought an object in\nthe form of a calabash and some books from Joseph Smith of the Church of Jesus\nChrist of the Latter Day Saint. As we proceed to the river for the baptism of\nthe convert we had today, I ask Mr Nnah to come with us, on getting there he\ndenounced and we prayed and destroy same and throws away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He Mr Nnah again said he has other similar objects in his ancestors shrine\nwhich he is the keeper and he is ready to denounced all with his family,\npromising to take us there on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need your prayers for God to preserve Mr Nnah from his decision to quit\nidolatry through our Gospel and pray for me and my teammates for more grace to\nserve Him as carry out this tedious for Christ at Ata Essien Obio Akpa village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am optimistic that the newly planted church at Ata Essien Obio Akpa\nvillage will make progress in soul winning,&nbsp; We are praying for a Preacher\nwho will serve the church but today two (2) of our students (Uyouko Umana\nJosiah and Nkereuwem George) both teach the Adult and Children Bible class\nwhile I preached the sermon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you so much for your generosity and continue support to me and my\nteammates for Christ and His church, God bless you and yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Christian Love and Service, <br>\nMojima Etokudo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS.
