Thousands of COCIN women have deeper understanding of their roles as Christian wives and mothers and renewed desire to share responsibilities in their homes as partners with their husbands.

They are committed to be lights shining as Christian women who are working unto the Lord and working in businesses so poverty can leave their homes.

“Poverty is overwhelming the church in Nigeria and undermining families,” says international coordinator Tassie Ghata.

“We encouraged the women to be partners with their husbands, supporting them practically and sharing the decision making, as well as teaching their daughters and sons to respect each other.”

With Nigerian elections in 2027, the team also spoke on the politics of righteousness, reminding their audiences to vote for people with credibility and not to sell their votes.

In January the Jos volunteer team spoke at three COCIN conferences for women in Panshin, Dawaki and Kabwir; and one for youth in Dawaki, sharing our social righteousness message with 11,243 people.

Of these, 151 rededicated their lives to Christ and one person made a first commitment. Two hundred and 12 chose to be tested for HIV and one person tested positive.

Prayer Requests

Please pray for:

• The person who tested positive, that drugs will enable them to live well and they will receive the support they need from their family and pastor
• Women will remember the message they heard and live as Christian partners to their husbands and role models to their children, both female and male.
