NIGERIA

The Nigeria Evangelical Missions Association (NEMA) brought Perspectives to Nigeria in 2002. They initiated a strategy of introducing the course to leading denominational, church, mission, and business leaders through one-week Intensive trainings.

Engaging leadership first laid a foundation for the robust growth to come. Perspectives is now spread throughout the nation, with Intensive classes held in at least one locality every month.

One of the earliest Perspectives students was an Anglican Archbishop who declared his desire that every bishop and priest in his ecclesiastical province take Perspectives.

Churches are adopting unreached people groups, sending out their members as missionaries, and engaging the unreached in their midst. Nigerian leaders also affirm the contribution of Perspectives in fostering unity between churches and missions.

Perspectives is now spread throughout the nation, with Intensive classes held in at least one locality every month. Over 8000 Nigerians have graduated from a Perspectives class. Nigerians are helping Ghanaians initiate a program in their nation. Perspectives has deeply influenced the missionary outreach of Nigerian churches.

“This course affected my life most in the area of church planting. I never had the understanding that a church planted without indigenes cannot stand. That as a missionary, I am supposed to plant and raise people in the local church that will go further and plant other churches. That I should not establish a church which is unable to reproduce itself. That God wants me to bring the gospel within the culture of a people to reach them within their context.”
