Blessed Assurance Ministries is a work with vision. It is a Ministry that has focus in benefiting both Believers and unbelievers.

The vision of the Ministry is basically divided into 5 Ministry Departments:

1. Christian Equippers Resource Center
This Ministry Department is a Bible Training Facility and Library. It is the training, consulting, and, equipping Department of the Ministry. The work of this Ministry Department consists of the following:

2. Evangelistic Outreach
This Ministry Department is a soul-winning outreach that works in various ways to reach out to the lost as mandated in Mark 16:15, and Matthew 28:19-20. This Ministry ensures that The Gospel of Jesus Christ reaches orphans, widows, sick, students, rural dwellers, and prisoners. This Ministry involves the following:

3. Christian Bible Institute
This is the Christian Education Department of the Ministry. This Ministry offers the following:

4. Christian Missionary Movement
This Department goes on Missionary journeys within and outside the country for the purpose of reaching souls for Jesus. We also offer assistance in the form of Prayer, tracts / literature, books / bibles, and other necessary assistance to Christian Missionaries. This ministry includes Missionary orientation and church planting.

5. Christian Publications
This Department is in charge of the publication of Christian books, motivational / inspirational books, magazines, Ministry newsletters, as well as printing of tracts for free distribution to individuals and Ministries / churches. Currently we are in the process of publishing books on Christian Leadership, Evangelism, and Prayer.

The Heart and Mission of Blessed Assurance Ministries is fulfilling the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus by utilizing the Teaching and Preaching of The Word of God to the world through Internet, Radio, Television, Printed Materials, and other possible means by which men, women, boys, and girls can be won for Christ.

The Ministry is equally committed to training and equipping the Saints using its Resource Center to enable them to fulfill their God-given vision. As well as equipping and encouraging others to reach out to those in hospitals, prisons, orphanages, schools, and to the less-privileged to see to it that they shall be fed with both spiritual and physical foods to enable them to live a spiritually balanced life.

In effect, we are commissioned by our Lord Jesus Christ to reach out to the entire world with the uncompromised Word of God and be a part of His Great Commission Coalition.

Out of the various Christian materials received by the Christian Resource Center, about 10,000 tracts, 200 Bibles, 1000 magazines, and about 50 tapes were donated to various Pastors and local church leaders as gifts to help equip them, thus enabling them to fulfill their Ministry. The donated books were basically duplicate copies of the books / tapes we have in the Resource Center. This was done to comply with the stated objective of the Resource Center. To enable us to achieve a more effective and better result in 2006, we shall need to purchase and publish more Christian materials.

It should be noted that Christian Resource Centers are very, very rare in Nigeria. The existing Bible College Libraries are meant for college students ONLY. What a great limitation to the Ministry. We are trying to avoid this limitation by making Christian materials available to all irrespective of church / ministry, race, color, or religion.

We are very happy to report that many people have received Jesus through this unique project. It is on this note that I am appealing to individuals to assist in donating to this unique Ministry. Presently, the Resource Center has about 4,500 Christian books, and 300 Christian tapes. The real need is 10,000 additional books and 3000 additional tapes before the end of 2006.

In order to increase patronage, and for the purpose of allowing unbelievers to make use of the Resource Center Library thus "arresting" them with the Word of God, we are deeply interested in adding secular books on medicine, engineering, law, management / social sciences, etc. We also want to include books like the encyclopedia, atlas, dictionaries, and other relevant materials and we need financial support from anyone that may wish to assist us.

Another Resource Center is about to be set up in a separate location in Lagos State, due to various appeals by some other Ministers. This tremendous Ministry allows both Bible students and the lost to come and have a Christian Library in their area where no such facilities currently are available.

In addition, many educational books were donated to secondary schools upon request by the school authorities to be used as gifts to their best students at the end of their academic session. Some of these books that we donated to such schools were purchased from the book shops to motivate the students, and encourage them. What an opportunity to sow seeds in the great leaders of tomorrow!

Won't you please join us in this Ministry?

I count it an honor to work with you as we all seek for God's Will to be done on this earth as it is in Heaven. Jesus died once, for all. From the greatest to the least He shed His Precious Blood. The lost and the dieing are that important to Him, so they must be that important to us.
