Our Challenges & Needs
So far it has been discovered that the challenges of publishing a Christian newspaper or magazine is very enormous in Nigeria. Be it as it may, we strongly believe that the future of the ministry is very bright.
Presently, the newspaper enjoys a measure of support from churches, Christians and Private Organisations. It is uncommon for churches and ministries to raise financial support for other ministries in Nigeria, yet we count on the priceless supports of private well meaning individuals, churches and
subscribers, who place adverts or give direct financial or material supports at one time or the other.
Presently among our needs are the following
1. Printing machines- preferably Kord
2. Computers and printers - A3 size
3. Spacious office accommodation or land for expansion
4. Financial support in currencies from any part of the world
5. Prayers of the righteous,
6. Private contributions and counselling
If you are able to do any of these kindly reach out to the Publisher Julius Adegunna on juliusadegunna@yahoo.com, or
