Christian Covenant Church supports Dr. Linus Ihetuge, a Nigerian national, in his ministry in Abia State, Nigeria.  We are blessed to receive a visit from Brother Linus about once a year. He always encourages us with a word from the Lord and has often spoken directly to our need, though he had no natural knowledge of it.

 Nigeria is suffering from Muslim unrest.  The nation is divided religiously with the Muslims in the north and Christians in the south. Abia State is in the south, and Linus assures us they are safe where they are.  Christians in the north are not so safe.  Recently churches have been locked shut and the worshippers inside were massacred. Some have fled south.  The need for Christian evangelism is desperate. Their hope is for Christian leaders to bring order and Christian morals to their government.  They desire our prayers, and they need our support.

  Jesus Brethren Ministries is working to save their nation. They are equipping young men in the Word of God to go into all the country with the Gospel. They are attempting to raise a new generation who will serve God faithfully and wisely. They are encouraging families in their God-ordained duties.  They teach the way of peace.  We are thankful for the opportunity to support such a work.

  Brother Linus is a former university professor who is now the Senior Pastor and Overseer of Jesus Brethren Ministries. Jesus Brethren Ministies has many facets of outreach to their local community as well as to their entire nation. Some of the ministries they provide are:
