NMBC Global Mission Partners: The Singers

 
The Singers are on staff with SIM, International, serving in Jos, Nigeria. Dwight is the Deputy Provost for the ECWA Theological Seminary in Jos. In December the seminary graduated 192 students who will serve as pastors, bible teachers, and youth workers throughout West Africa. Miriam is responsible for nursing care, teaches Bible classes for pastor’s wives, and frequently is hostess for visiting personnel to the Seminary. You can learn more about SIM’s ministry in Nigeria and partnership with ECWA here.

Dwight has completed his dissertation for a PhD. (This is important to the continued growth and acceptance of the seminary.) He anticipates graduating in May. Please pray for the Singers as they train young men and women for ministry to a country and region plagued by violence and upheaval. Pray for the safety of the Singers and for the church in Nigeria. In recent years Christians have faced attacks by Islamic militants who are especially active in Northern Nigeria (more about attacks against Christians in Nigeria here).

Watch this video to learn more about an ongoing project of SIM International to get “Pastor Book Sets” to thousands of pastors throughout Western Africa.
