Finding Gender Equality in Scripture
Husbands are sharing the disadvantages of being the decision maker in their homes and committing to treat their wives as equals during workshops exploring family relationships.
These husbands, from COCIN Panyam RCC, were attending our Sexual and Gender-based Violence workshop in late 2024. The 111 husbands and fathers spent a day talking about gender roles and traditional cultural norms.
Christ versus Ancestors – Who Should We Trust
Congregations are continuing to embrace what it means to be followers of Christ in the marketplace of their lives outside Sunday services, despite what is happening in the Nigerian economy.
They are heeding Grace & Light’s call to live as Christians every day when our volunteer teams visit their churches to share the gospel, counsel and test for HIV/AIDS.
Students Becoming Serious About Their Studies
Volunteer teams in Jos and Yola are being invited back into secondary schools by teachers impressed with changes they are seeing in their students.
They say girls and boys are arriving at school on time, they are respecting rather than bullying each other and their teachers, studying hard rather than stealing answers and no longer lying.
Baruwa Has its First Volunteer Team
Eighteen people have formed a new volunteer team in Baruwa, Taraba State following volunteer training last November.
Team members are faithfully visiting churches during Sunday services, counselling then testing people for HIV/AIDS and setting up voluntary savings and accountability groups.
Grace & Light a Gift to the Church and Nation
Revival in local churches and secondary schools is evident in changed lives, renewed focus on the Gospel and sound teaching that meets spiritual and physical needs of people.
Twenty years on Grace & Light ministry is breaking through spiritual, physical and psychological barriers in Nigerian churches, schools, workplaces and prisons. This is the conclusion of an external evaluation of our ministry in five states - Adamawa, Gombe, Nasarawa, Plateau and Taraba.
Pursuing Integrity as Leaders
Our annual conference for leaders is becoming an essential time of refreshing and recovery that community and business leaders look forward to, especially in these times of economic challenges.
Grace & Light has been hosting, each September, a conference for church, school, business, community and local government leaders in Jos. Last year we considered cancelling the conference because of the security situation.
