as Lord, Saviour and Friend
Oboda Village Chief Accepts Christ
Chief Ademola’s House
Mr David Watkinson, Lekan, and
Andy experienced an outstanding
and frui琀昀ul 16-day mission in the
city of Ibadan, Nigeria, in November
2024. Andy Economides preached the
Gospel using the story of Bar琀椀maeus
in the old Anglican church building in
Oboda village. Many publicly accepted
Christ as Lord and Saviour and came
forward to do so. Immediately a昀琀er the
service, the Soteria team visited the
village chief, Ademola. In the chief’s
lounge Andy Economides boldly shared
the Gospel and asked him, ‘would
you like to accept Christ and know
Him?’ The chief replied, ‘I wouldn’t
mind.’ Ademola was led to Christ.
The Anglican Pastor who was present

the next day.
Andy Economides writes:

were present. They board at Prospect.
They love school. I proclaimed Jesus to
the children and invited all to know and
follow Jesus. I saw in their faces the
glory of the Lord and the sincerity of
wan琀椀ng to know Jesus as they accepted
and prayed to Jesus in child-like faith.’
