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.
