I became a new creature in Christ Jesus in September 1969 while on the war front during the Nigeria/Biafra war of 1967-1970. Since after the war, I have actively pursued programmes and activities that helped me grow in my Christian life. I had my Biblical studies in Liberty Home Bible Institute, affiliated with the Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia; USA. I also had Christian Leadership Courses in Singapore with Haggai Institute for Leadership

I have been an Elder in Evangelical Church of West Africa (Now Evangelical Church Winning All), an indigenized outgrowth of the Sudan Interior Mission (SIM) since 1975 and during those years I have been involved in preaching, teaching, bible studies and seminars.  I served in various positions of responsibility in The Gideons International including the position of the First Executive Director of the Gideons International in Nigeria from 1994 until my retirement in 2006. Since then, I have been engaged in developing an indigenous language Church in Lagos in order to help those with little or no western education know the Lord.

As a writer, my publishing credits include over 200 newspaper column articles and two books. My column “Ministering Christ” in the Sunday Concord received a wide following when it ran from 1985 to 1989 and received hundreds of encouraging letters and feedback from readers, some of which were published by the newspaper. My book “Enjoy your family” has received favorable reviews from many.

This blog Sermon Notes started out as a compilation of sermons preached over years of active service as part of an on-going book compilation project. Now, in addition to sermons, the blog also features book reviews and guest posts from other Christian bloggers.
