OUR JANUARY 2011 MID-MONTH MISSION REPORT/PRAYER ALERT

With all our heart, we formerly welcome you to 2011, the year we see God doing great and mighty things in the life of His people. 2010 was a very good year, but the current one will be much better!
We also want to appreciate you for your sustained support to our mission work here in the Philippines, Southeast Asia and may the good Lord continue to reward and bless you in Jesus name!

(Ngozi ministering to some Badjao)

Remember that in one of our last reports we shared with you how the good Lord is opening more doors of ministry for us here. Truly He is! Just last December we started a Sunday evening fellowship using the Dumaguete Press Club, the same Boulevard area where we minister to the Badjao. It was a big favor to get that big facility for free and we need to praise God for that!

 Please help us pray for the prosperity of the church planting work there, as we’re thinking that at the right time it’ll provide a means of fellowship for our ever transient and nomadic Badjao tribal people. This pioneering work will definitely require a lot of financial resources and we’re sure the Lord will do it again for us.

One other major prayer focus for us now is our planned mission support-raising event in Nigeria. Remember we told you that the venue is confirmed, that’s, The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM) Ipaja branch, and the date is Sunday, March 6, 2011, by 3.00pm.

Please put it in your prayer diary as we pray for Journalist for the Christ Nigeria (JFCN) (http://www.journalistsforchrist.org), the host organization, that the Lord will guide them as they plan for the event.

(Kanayo with some Badjao friends)
Furthermore, please remember to pray for our monthly support, it has drastically dropped and unless the Lord intervenes, we’ll be in a serious jeopardy. We need more mission donors to identify with all our mission projects here, especially our mission to the Badjao tribal people.

Thanks for your prayer support and again we request that you help us mobilize for prayer awareness in your church/fellowships and also to forward this mail to as many Christian friends you have. Or better still to send us emails of your friends that you feel can help us in prayers!

Nigerian Govt. to Formally Recognize Traditional Institution

By Success Kanayo Uchime

The Nigerian Government is making concerted efforts to recognize the traditional institution in the country. This is as a result of the proposed bill it’ll soon present to the National Assembly next year.


The nation’s President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan stated this on Monday December 27 during the formal coronation ceremony of HRH, King Lot Justin Ogiasa, Oke X, as the Obanema of Otuoke Kingdom in Ogbia LGA of Bayelsa State.

He said his administration will present before the National Assembly next year, a bill that will grant the traditional institution in the country due recognition in the nation's constitution.

He noted that while traditional rulers nationwide play key roles in engendering peace and development in the country, there is no national law that accords them constitutional recognition.

"I will work with the National Assembly to give proper recognition to the traditional institution in Nigeria. There is no national law that recognizes the traditional rulers, who play key roles in the unity and development of our country, and we have to correct this. I will submit a bill on this before the National Assembly next year," the President said.

In his remarks, Governor Timipre Silver of Bayelsa State said all Bayelsans are proud of President Jonathan's emergence as commander in chief of Nigeria from a little community as Otuoke, and are totally in support of his bid to return to office as President in 2011.

Other dignitaries at occasion included First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, Gov. Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, Bayelsa Dep Gov, Hon. Wenimipre Seibarugu, members of the National Assembly, members of the Bayelsa executive council and legislature, HRM King Alfred Diette-Spiff, and presidential aides.

Badjao Tribal People in the Philippines Celebrate Christmas

By Success Kanayo Uchime

It was a great day for the Badjao tribal people in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental as they celebrated the 2010 Christmas together as one family.

Organized by Nigerian missionary couple Success and Ngozi Uchime, missionaries under the South East Asia Mission Teams (SEAMIST) (www.seamist.org/uchime), the event was used to minister both the spirit, soul and body of the poorest of the poor in the Philippines – the Badjao tribal people.

Speaking at the event that was held in Boulevard area of the city, Ngozi Cynthia Uchime admonished them to look at the great sacrifice of Jesus Christ at the Cross at Calvary in anything they do stressing that Jesus came and died for them too.

Quoting John 3: 16, she emphasized on the love of God that made Him to send His one and only Son Jesus Christ to come to earth to die for the entire world.

According to her various activities were held to lighten and lift up the spirit and soul of the Badjao who gathered there for the event adding that the people had a lot to eat and drink all for the spirit of Christmas.

She called on philanthropist all over the world to come and assist their mission work among the Badjao people stressing that funding is the greatest challenge their mission is facing in reaching out to the Badjao in Dumaguete City.

“The Badjao here in Dumaguete City are open to the gospel, they’ve a willing heart, but tracking them down is a big challenge and that’s where we need help – to start livelihood projects for them,” Ngozi also stated.

It needs to be pointed out that the Badjao are a Filipino Muslim Ethnic group of sea gypsies: groups of boat-dwelling people. They are one of the largest Sama people groups and their ethnic neighbors, the Tausugs and the Samals, often call them Samal-luwaan (“outcasts”) or Samal-laud or Pala-u (“people of the ocean”).

The Badjao are the poorest ethnic group in Sulu. They depend mainly on fishing for their survival and their communities fall under the category of government’s depressed, deprived, and underdeveloped areas (DDU). And those that move to urban areas often become beggars.
