THE YOUTH
DEPARTMENT
The Youth Department has about 100 members. With the
nomenclature G-12 (Government of Twelve,) the youth arm is very vibrant, focused
and highly spirited. Members who are drawn from secondary and tertiary
institutions gather together for a variety of motivational, inspirational,
educational and spiritual exposition as they discuss wide-ranging topics that
affect them on weekly basis.

The Youth
Rally
Abundance Ministries organizes annually the Youths
For Jesus Rally with the theme Bridging the Gap. The Ministry creates an
atmosphere for everyone, both the affluent and the not so affluent, people from
all walks of life to come under the same umbrella and atmosphere of worship.
Renowned ministers from within and outside the country are involved to address
the rally, which in recent times has grown to about 3,000 in
number.
About the same time is another programme tagged
Becoming A Woman of God. Ladies are gathered together to listen to various
motivational speakers from within and outside the country. They are encouraged
to become whatever they have been destined to be irrespective of all
discouragement that they may face. They rebuild their confidence firstly on God
and secondly in themselves.
The
Abundance
Village
The Abundance Village is the pet project of the
Abundance Ministries. The village dream is one that transcends beyond the
mundane. Basically it gives the ministry a base from which to operate and a
foundation for the myriad of activities and programmes.
With a set of cottage accommodation facilities, the
ministry intends to shelter indigent widows and orphans who would be provided
with some basic human needs. We intend to have 10 orphans in a cottage with 2
widows as resident staff.
Besides the village would have a trade center
(Abundance Center for Empowerment, ACE) which will help in start-up businesses
on basic entrepreneurial foundation, development of resources, both material and
human and also fund and nurture these businesses.
The trade center would also have a food-processing
department, which would produce staple food, while local clothes manufacturing
department would also produce adire (tie and dye)
materials.
As part of the activities of ACE, seminars,
workshops, fairs and allied development programs would continue to feature as a
means of enhancing the local economy and helping the
people.
A hospital ministry is also part of the Abundance Village. This would host a medical center
catering for the medical needs of the society. Teams of medical practitioners
would be motivated to visit rural areas, motherless babies home, lepers’ colony
etc.
Financial benefits in form of scholarships and
assistance would be made available to orphans and the less privileged, other
ministries and community development projects and
programs.
