Moses’ Report for October 2020
Greetings from me and my wife and the entire ministry of Bringing the Gospel.
We sincerely appreciate you for your prayers, financial support, mental support, you’re a family to us and you’ve been a blessing in our lives and ministry. This year has been a year of tremendous blessings in my life and ministry. With the help of the Lord we started a radio broadcast earlier this year. Then October 3 Joy became Mrs. Nyiku, my wife and life partner in the ministry.
- Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
The Lord has been gracious in providing for us — we never lack what to eat, there’s a roof over our heads, and His hand of protection has been upon us. I want to thank God and all of you that have been praying for us, we really appreciate!
Update
Bringing the Gospel is a ministry of faith sponsored by the giving by faith of God’s people.
Bringing the Gospel has brought the Gospel of Christ to numerous souls who now need discipleship. We are trusting the Lord for an open door to gather these new believers and disciple them to grow in faith so the Gospel of Christ will be perpetuated.
- As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
- And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Christ is the only answer for salvation which the world needs to hear and above Him there’s no other.
- For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
- Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
- For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
- Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
With the blessing of God, Bringing the Gospel now broadcasts in English and Tiv, the native language. It’s indeed a blessing to hear all the great testimonies from our listeners. The Lord is working in ways I never imagined and all glory is to Him!
The Lord gave me an open door to preach the Gospel at First Baptist Church, Makurdi during their cultural and hymn service and many souls responded to the Word of God! I have a great burden to help this church in the area of evangelism. I ask that you please pray for me.
The street preaching ministry needs a wireless speaker to better reach street audiences. This costs 60,000 naira which is around $170, the last time I checked.
Thank you as you pray and support us as we reach souls with the Gospel of Christ.
Different African tribes worshipping the Lord and singing in their dialect.
Here we are in our cultural attire to mark the Hymn and Cultural service. After I preached, we sang “Jesus Keep Me near the Cross.”
Jesus, keep me near the Cross;
There a precious fountain,
Free to all — a healing stream —
Flows from Calvary's mountain.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning Star
Shed its beams around me.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o'er me.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
Near the cross! I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Most people in Nigerian prisons are not criminals and most are penniless. Other than very poor and cheap food, the government provides nothing to these prisoners. They depend entirely on their families for their necessities such as blankets, shoes, and other valuable items which are lacking. Your support towards these sore needs of the prison ministry will demonstrate God’s love and Christian empathy to the prisoners as they are presented with the Gospel.
According to the cell description of an ex-convict of the Owerri Prison, he said “his cell (1 ward 2 cell) measured 32ft in length and 28ft in width, one bathroom and two toilets with approximately 100 inmates staying there”. You can imagine how congested such a cell would be and also the condition of the one bathroom and two toilets.
The cause of this overpopulation in Nigerian prisons is due to the retention of the wrong people. Data from the surveys done by the Prisoners’ Rehabilitation and Welfare Action (PRAWA) and the Nigerian Prisons Service shows that out of 68,110 inmates only 21,354 were actually convicts while the remaining 46,756 were merely accused individuals awaiting trials. …
Due to the inadequacy of healthcare facilities and services, deaths are often recorded among inmates in prisons. …
Foods served to inmates in prisons are very poor in quality, which is the only explanation for the undernourishment and deficiency diseases common among prisoners. …
Inmates in Nigerian prisons are only provided with food. Items such as toothpaste, soaps, toothbrush, tissue paper, body creams, sanitary pad, underwear, slippers etc. are self-provided. The inmates are allowed to provide themselves with these items.
Majority of inmates remain in jail and await trial due to their inability to afford the service of a lawyer. …
There are prisoners whose case files have gone missing either accidentally or deliberately. There is no point denying the corruption level of our Nigerian Police Force. Some unscrupulous police officers may deliberately destroy the case file of an individual for a fee. …
The outcome of this inhumane act is the permanent awaiting of trial by such a victim unless there is a proper intervention. …
There are cases of homosexuality and lesbianism recorded in Nigerian prisons. Female inmates in some cases face the threat of rape. Some ladies leave the prison with babies while some leave with pregnancy …
Extortion is a common situation in which inmates find themselves in. Guards and prison officials reportedly extorted inmates or levied fees on them to pay for food, prison maintenance, and release from prison. …
This is Nigeria, we all know how things work; the poor gets guilty while the rich is innocent. The innocent gets convicted while the guilty is celebrated, guarded and followed around by police convoys.
Some people end up in prison not because they are guilty but due to the successful conspiracy between the complainant and the judiciary personnel.
This conspiracy usually and more commonly manifest in the form of long term adjournment, some judges would go as far as giving a sine die adjournment to cases which is inappropriate.
Appreciation
We appreciate God Almighty for His care upon us and using us to bring the Gospel to the lost starting from here in Benue and to the world at large. I have received calls even from Cameron and Ghana, two other countries in Africa, that were able to listen to our broadcast and many other calls besides from states around the country where God’s word is being heard.
We also appreciate God for all of you. Because of your prayers and support we’re able to do more for the Lord and Bringing the Gospel to Africa’s lost. May the Lord bless you richly in Christ’s name!
Contact me on Facebook if you would like me to pray with you. I want to be a blessing in any way I can.
We’re sending love from our family to yours. God be with you!
Evangelist Moses Nyiku
