VISITING CBN NIGERIA Our inspiring experience
CBN SA’s recent visit to Nigeria was a truly amazing and transformative experience. We received a very warm welcome from a team of extraordinary individuals at CBN Nigeria who demonstrated a profound love for God and their communities. We had the privilege of being hosted by Dr. Felix Oisamje (Regional Director – Anglophone West Africa) and his remarkable team. Engaging in their daily devotions and prayer sessions allowed us to immerse ourselves in their deep commitment to faith.
Exploring Operation Blessing
During our visit, we had the opportunity to witness the impactful Operation Blessing Project first-hand. This project specifically focuses on empowering women, especially those living in underprivileged communities within Nigeria. Operation Blessing has successfully trained a significant number of women to create and sew beautiful handbags, which they can then sell. The women also host local Bible study groups in the area.
Women Empowerment
The women in some of the local communities often face various challenges. As a means to develop skills and earn a living, they not only craft and sell exquisite bags but also pass on their skills to other women. This creates a powerful cycle of empowerment, as women uplift one another and generate income to provide for their families. Through the sale of these bags, many women are able to make a sustainable living, addressing the needs of their households.
Diverse Impact Projects
Our time at the CBN Nigeria office allowed us to gain insight into the breadth of their impactful projects. We learned about medical brigades, life-changing surgeries, hunger relief initiatives, and WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) projects. These initiatives demonstrate a commitment to addressing critical needs within communities and improving lives on multiple fronts.
Inspiring Television Programmes
The CBN Nigeria team produces an array of meaningful television programmes that encompass music, prayer, faith, family, and other relevant topics. These programmes are broadcast on FlameTV, reaching a wide audience and delivering messages of hope, inspiration, and guidance across the region.
Representation and Resources
CBN Nigeria represents notable initiatives, including Operation Blessing, Orphan’s Promise, and Superbook. These programmes collectively contribute to the organisation’s overarching mission of making a positive difference in the lives of both individuals and communities across Nigeria.
Serving as One
Our visit to CBN Nigeria was a truly life-enriching experience that deepened our faith and renewed our commitment to service. We witnessed the wholehearted dedication of the team as they serve their communities and this was truly inspiring. We left with a profound appreciation for the transformative power of faith and the remarkable impact that can be achieved through love, prayer, and tangible initiatives. When we serve together as one, we can continue to expand our reach, one person and one community at a time.
Passion for Prayer and Service
Throughout our visit, we were deeply moved by the team’s immense love for prayer and their unwavering dedication to serving their communities. This passion was evident in every interaction and highlighted the impact faith can have in transforming lives.
