DEAR CORPER 10: ARE YOU REALLY GOOD TO GO?

I had an invitation to share at the Passing Out Thanksgiving Service of a batch of Christian Corp Members. I asked the Lord what to share about and the Lord said to ask them, “Are you Good to Go?” When I stepped in, there was a lot of excitement in the year but by the mercies of the Lord, when […]

DEAR CORPER 9: THERE ARE BLESSINGS WHERE YOU ARE

Irewamiri came to serve as a Corp Member in Eruwa. She recounts how she cried on her first night. She said it all was too quiet like a graveyard. She could not imagine it. What a sleepy town.  She complained about how hard it was to get water. Dry seasons did not make the matter easy at all. It was […]

DEAR CORPER 8: CULTIVATE BOLDNESS

During my service year, I had the vision to run with what I called “TeensCulture”. It was designed to be a leadership training course for teenagers in a language they would understand. The courses included Leadership for Teens, Moral Excellence, The Power of Vision, Financial Culture for Teens, and Healthy Living for Teens, amongst others. I have highlighted some of […]

DEAR CORPER 7: LET DISCIPLINE RULE OVER FEELING

I woke up that Sunday morning in March 2011. I did not feel like going to church. I even had good reasons. We would still have our corpers fellowship later in the evening. I thought to myself, “At least, that can serve as church for me today”. At that time, I was already attending a Christian Leadership training in church. […]

DEAR CORPER 6: RELATE WITH SENSITIVITY BUT NEVER WITH PRIDE

When I walked up to this dear sister of mine to have a brief chat with her, she said to me, “I thought they said you were a proud person”. I was surprised. She said some people told her already that, “I was proud, and she should not bother relating with me”. I guess they chose the wrong words. I […]

DEAR CORPER 5: IT IS CALLED “SERVICE YEAR” FOR A REASON

A young man went for his medical posting many years ago in a rural community. Vision was formed within him. Later in life, when everyone was choosing city life, he chose to return to the rural community. He built an organization that became a toast of the community and a light of possibilities to the nation. Some years later, there […]

DEAR CORPER 4: DO NOT SHRINK YOUR MIND TO THE SIZE OF YOUR ALLOWANCE

I served in the generation that enjoyed the transition of monthly allowance from less than 10,000 to a little less than 20,000 naira. It was a great joy having that raise. It was also my generation that enjoyed the conduct of the 2011 election and the lovely payout of the time. You need to see the smile on the faces […]

DEAR CORPER, DO SOMETHING DAILY THAT WILL COUNT WHEN YOU ARE DONE

Before I left for service year, I had already begun to discern the call of God for my life. The finest gift I got in camp was a small copy of the New Testament Bible. I carried it everywhere, and I read it every time I had a chance.  Once we got out of orientation camp, I began to utilize […]

DEAR CORPER 2: BE LED TO A CHURCH THAT IS KEY FOR DESTINY TRAINING

I was passing by a room in the NCCF (Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship) Family House when I saw a sticker on a door with the inscription, “Insight Bible Church… Empowering People for Excellence”. It stuck with me. I knew there was something different. I knocked on the door of the room and asked, “Please, who goes to this church?” A […]

DEAR CORPER, SERVICE YEAR IS NOT FOR PLEASURE

He came into Eruwa with just one plan- enjoy his life to the fullest in service year. He has already had his portion of a fun life while waiting for service year. His plans were going well until he walked into Night of David. A word came forth- “You are the son of a pastor, and you made up your […]
