THANK YOU, Everyone!

As the 2017year begin to unfolds, I reflect back over 2016 with profound gratitude for all the Lord has allowed us to do as a ministry. I am sincerely more than thankful for the very special ways you personally committed to support us. I remain very thankful for your prayers, moral and financial supports. Your generous gift in numerous forms are the very reason i have done all i did in ministry.
Our ministry have been blessed beyond our imagination to see 15 internally displaced Christian women trained for various skill acquisition. With your support we provided initial seed capital for all of them to start small business. After careful monitoring and evaluation, we awarded additional soft loans for their business expansion.

We at Banner center for community transformation (BACCOT) have had the privilege and honor to embark on a mission survey to Gambon, a completely new community. We are so thankful for providing small business training for 30 women in Gambon, our newest mission field.



About the end of 2016, we went for a weekend outreach to Gambon field to share the good news of Christmas through film show, teaching and preaching of the word of God. I was so emotional to see kids queuing for the clean water we provided for them. 
   





Thank you for helping to impact on people like maman yanbiu, one of the internally displaced women and a mother of twin babies. Thank you for your partnership in prayers, tireless giving and several other ways.


PRAYER FOCUS:
1. Ask God to provide for the farm project and make a reality this farming season. So far, we have raised $4500 or thereabout out of the $22000. Time is running out but our God is able and nothing is impossible with Him.
2. Join us pray for God's providence and direction for our family in spite of the economic difficulties in our country.
3. Pray with us as we trust God to help us fulfill our calling this year and beyond.
4. Pray that as a family our relationship with the Lord will deepen much more in 2017.

Women Empowerment Training 3.22.21

  Greetings, in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, The last and final batch of the training went well to the glory of God. Our goal was to train 20 vulnerable rural Christian women and out-of-school girls but we had 7 more women in attendance who were not enrolled in the program but wanted to be a part of it. We only offered them the training and could not provide any start-up capital as our budget did not cover them. The objective of our project is to provide sustainable and transformative business opportunities for poor rural women and out-of-school girls. Also, the women were trained to make the rocket stove in addition to the baseline, which they would produce as a source of income for their families. Let me apologize for the pictures. I am not able to send a good number because of the weak internet access. So, please expect more pictures after this one. I would like to thank all of you for supporting me in this endeavor. Some of you donated to fund the project, while ...

  Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am delighted to inform you that the first batch of women's empowerment training went well. Let me apologize for the pictures. Some of the qualities are not quite as good as the previous year, so I decided to attach a lot of them so you have options. Also included is a short video of the training. Please play the video so you can hear my voice again after all these years. Twenty women, including out-of-school girls and internally displaced adults, gathered at Murya, Nasarawa State, to learn how to make hair cream and Vaseline. They were also given seed capital to help them start their businesses. The session began with a Bible study to provide a background for a holistic approach to the ministry of caring for the soul and body.  The community leader was represented by Rev. Moses Igboro, the resident minister of the Evangelical Reform Christian Church(ERCC) who also helps to dispense the cash. After the training, it wa...
