Celebrating God's MIRACULOUS PROVISION

Nigeria

Someone said, “Faith moves God into doing the unexpected, the miraculous! When God is moved, faith rises in the believer and changes what he hoped for into worship and thanksgiving unto God.”

I am completely in the mode of thanksgiving to God because you have allowed God to use you in transforming our faith into worship and thanksgiving. We were overwhelmed by efforts to complete this national church project, so we were left with only hope and faith in God. Now our fear of what may happen when it rains has been taken away. There are many things to say, but let me simply say thank you to the donors for coming to our aid at this critical time.

May God reward everyone that has donated or put efforts towards this fund. Thank you, again, for now we have enough resources to complete the repair for our building project.

—Enis James Kolawole Nigeria/Ghana National Bishop

As long as the heart is turned toward God in a child-like trust, he will enable us to complete the work. This photo shows some of what is happening at the Tanzania COGOP Missions Center. Work is in progress for the second building of the hostel. To God be the glory!

This note is to extend our gratitude to all our Harvest Partners and friends for your contributions towards this ongoing construction project. Our 27th National Convention was great, with the highest number of people in attendance than in the previous conventions. To God be the glory! Two buildings were used to accommodate the delegates. We are now embarking on building the restaurant as seen in the layout plan. We are getting prepared for our National Youth Camp, which is due in the days ahead.
