Christ
to the Villages Mission
Shao, NigeriaThe Christ to the Villages Mission ministers to hundreds of persons
in the remote villages of central Nigeria.
Rev. Solomon Oladele, the director of the mission, was born into an
animist family. A group of Missionaries preaching the Gospel message
convinced Solomon to become a Christian. Persecuted by both his family
and Muslim leaders, he continued in the faith and later answered the
Lord's call into full-time ministry.
The Mission has 16 village churches, 28 preaching stations, and
maintains a ministry to a nearby army barracks. They also provide food
and clothing for the poor and limited aid to the sick. Still hundreds
of villagers are untouched by God's word.
Alpha Nursery and Primary School at Shao has an enrollment of 600.
Its sister school, at Oloru, enrolls 100 students. The Omega High
School was established in September 1997 and currently educates 63
students. The first phase of a hostel for students was completed in
October 1998. Twenty-seven trained and dedicated Christian adults
teach in the three schools.
The Christ to the Villages Mission has assisted seven village
churches with erecting simple buildings for worship. The other
churches meet under the trees.
The Mission is suffering the effects of political unrest and
staggering inflation. Many persons including children and the elderly
look to Christ to the Villages for assistance. Your generous support
will enable this mission to continue its ministry of education,
compassion and Gospel ministry.
