MAKINDE: SOUTHWEST SCHOOL OF EVANGELISM<br />
Beloved in Christ,<br />
Grace, peace and mercy be multiplied<br />
unto you all from God our Father<br />
and from Jesus Christ our Sustainer<br />
and Hope.<br />
I taught on The Three Pillars of<br />
Every Successful Home (Genesis 2:24<br />
cf. Ephesians 5:21-31) at a marriage<br />
feast of a young brother and a sister<br />
held at Oniyere congregation, Ibadan,<br />
Oyo state on Saturday, July 30, <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
The ceremony was graced by over 600<br />
brethren, friends, relations and well<br />
wishers.<br />
On Sunday, July 31 at Onikokoro/Gbongudu<br />
congregation, Ibadan,<br />
one of our BVBIN students named<br />
Lawrence Dada taught on The Unity<br />
of the Church while a SWSE student<br />
named Moses Bamidele admonished<br />
the church on Working Together (Exodus<br />
17:9-13) while I led in songs and<br />
communion.<br />
On Monday and Tuesday, August<br />
1 & 2, <strong>2016</strong>, we continued our houseto-house<br />
evangelism at Butubutu village<br />
under the leadership of our campus minister,<br />
brother Abraham Idu Yeje, which<br />
resulted in the conversion of two young<br />
men named Blessing and Dennis.<br />
These two converts were blessed<br />
with a Bible each and WBS materials<br />
on “I Have Just Begun the Race” and<br />
“How To Get To Heaven”.<br />
On Wednesday morning, we (myself,<br />
Makinde, brother Kayode Solomon,<br />
brother Dele Shotola and a BVBIN<br />
student, brother Samuel Omotayo Babatunde)<br />
boarded the school van to attend<br />
this year’s Annual Bible Lectureship<br />
held at West Nigerian Christian College<br />
and School of Biblical Studies (WNCC<br />
& SBS), Abeokuta in Ogun state. We<br />
took with us 3,000 copies of The Voice<br />
of Truth International, volume 88, after<br />
posting nine packages of forty each<br />
to brethren and other regular recipients<br />
of VOTI materials. Over 400 preachers/<br />
WBSFUW and mature men and women<br />
benefited from the free gifts from VOTI<br />
at WNCC and SBS campus on Wednesday,<br />
August 3, <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
Those in attendance<br />
at this year’s<br />
program held at<br />
WNCC & SBS campus<br />
are from the West, East<br />
and Northern parts of<br />
the country, including<br />
a brother from a neighbouring<br />
country, the<br />
Republic of Benin.<br />
Beloved, the remaining 2,500<br />
copies of VOTI volume 88 will be freely<br />
distributed on August 24-26, <strong>2016</strong><br />
during our forth-coming 14th annual<br />
Bible Lectureship & Graduation at the<br />
premises of BVBIN & SWSE, Ibadan,<br />
Oyo state to the glory of God and benefit<br />
of the human race!<br />
In conclusion, brother Isaac<br />
Olaniyan and I will be traveling, if the<br />
Lord is willing, by road to Ghana in<br />
continuation of our studies at Bear Valley<br />
Bible Institute of Graduates, Accra,<br />
Ghana for two weeks under our able tutor,<br />
brother Gary Fallis.<br />
We send big thanks to you all for<br />
your care and help with this work. May<br />
the Lord continue to bless all our joint<br />
efforts in Jesus’ name, Amen. ><br />
Your fellow labour in Christ’s vineyard,<br />
