We rejoice with the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) as the Standing Committee has this week approved the creation of 15 new dioceses under the leadership of the Primate of All Nigeria, The Most Rev’d Dr Henry Ndukuba. This reflects the remarkable growth of God’s church across the nation.
These new dioceses stretch across the country: in the South and South West (Ekiti South, Kalabari, Lagos South West, Omoku, Ozoro, Eket, Idanre, Ikom, Ogoja, and Oyo South), in the North Central and North East (Keffi, Nasarawa, Oyun, and Takum), and in the North West (Zuru). Together they will grow the gospel in countless communities.
Give thanks with us that Gafcon is growing as churches stand firm in Christ. Pray that these dioceses will guard the truth, proclaim the gospel, grow orthodox leaders, and gather the faithful — to the glory of God.
