ABOUT ME

My names are Joy Chinaecherem Ike Ezeocha.

I am 22yrs old, a female and a citizen of Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The name of my home town is Umuota Umuhu in Ngor-Okpala L.G.A of Imo state, Nigeria in West Africa.

I reside at 146 Faulks Road, top floor front, Aba in Abia state.

I am the sixth of seven children of my late parents. (Late Mr. & Mrs. Jerome Ike) My father, Mr. Jerome died in 1990 when I was only 7yrs old. My mum, Evangelist Mrs. Comfort J. Ike died in 2003. My late parents were born-again Christians who where happy working for God. I and my siblings (seven in number) are born-again and in the music ministry. Our late parents also had the gift of singing too. Music runs in the family and we thank God it’s a powerful tool for evangelism. We also have other individual talents and callings of God in our lives. My elder brother is going to be a pastor and our last boy (ISRAEL by name) is also going to be a man of God. Right now, we are involved in the music ministry.

GROWING UP:

It was not easy growing up. In 1983 when I was born, there was so much famine and drought in Nigeria. No food and a lot of children died, but God nourished and kept me. My mum told me that the weather was so bad that year that many children died and nobody cultivated. It was the devil that brought that plague but God was faithful by preserving my life.

I have graduated from high school (secondary education) with the best grades and hope to enroll into the university. I began to notice the call of God in my life when I was twelve years old (1995). I remember that each time I had a dream, I saw myself ministering to other young people. This kept happening so I told my mum and she was happy. One day she said it was God’s call upon my life that was getting ready to manifest. She prayed for me and asked God to make my ministry greater than hers. From that day, I began to ask God for direction.

During my secondary school days, I would gather fellow students and tell them about Jesus. They were always looking forward to every break period for a fresh word of God. I knew it was time to start. As they gave their lives to Christ, I took them to my fellowship where they were taught the word of God. It wasn’t long I began to get convinced that it was God who was working through me. Today, I have so much boldness and passion for ministering in songs, drama and bible-based talk shows. Winning souls is the greatest passion of my life. I have Jesus and am saved so I will let others know about Him too. This is my vision in life.

Cheers,

MINISTRY DESIRES FOR TODAY

First of all, the name of my ministry is

SAVE THE NATION MINISTRIES and our business is

soul winning.

Our desire for today is to reach out to the unsaved youth of our generation. A lot of them especially in my town are drug addicts, peddlers, rapists and very destructive. My heart bleeds when I see them being used by the devil to cause trouble in the society. We don’t want them to go to hell. Somebody must tell them about Jesus and we are ready.

Here in Nigeria, so many of them do not go to church so they prefer crusade. Just organize a music outreach at the stadium, hire the best instruments/equipment, give it adequate publicity and I assure you there will be no seat left. They like gospel music and drama so much here and we intend to bring them to Christ through these avenues. This will be done in the towns and villages regularly. During each meeting, a pastor will preach the word of God and an alter call will be made for unbelievers to give there lives to Christ. After that, we give them tapes, CDs, bibles and other books. Then send them to bible believing churches. We will also like to show them gospel films via a big screen projector. Especially end-time films which we believe will cause them to turn away from their wicked ways and surrender to Christ. We shall also act (demonstrate the word) on stage. Showing the love of God, discouraging idol worshipping, drug peddling, abortion, armed robbery etc. Each time this kind of crusade is organized, a lot of youths turn up and they can’t help but cry out and give their lives to Christ.

2 Peter 3: 9

As an evangelistic team, our desire is to carry the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the unsaved all over Africa and beyond no matter the climate , terrain and even race. Win souls and plant churches where there are no bible believing ones.

IN THE NEAR FUTURE

Buy our own crusade equipment/instruments: Buy trucks that can convey them even to the most difficult terrain e.g. the un-tarred roads of the villages.

Visit prisons: Our prisons here are hell-on-earth! Inmates get worse instead of being rehabilitated. They need Jesus if they must become better citizens when they come out. We also hope to give them gifts e.g. books, bibles, CDs, tapes. clothing etc.

Build schools and hospitals: SAVE THE NATION hopes to build some missionary schools and hospitals in the remote villages to assist them. Give them bore hole portable water supply too. (N/B: if people in developing countries can build wonderful animal hospitals, why can’t we build for human beings in our poor African nations) Treatment in those hospitals shall be with little or no payment at all.

Build motherless babies homes: Every day we see on our TV here how young girls who got pregnant mistakenly, deliver and abandon these babies in the gutters or by the road sides. SAVE THE NATION would want to take care of these babies and bring them up.

Build bible schools: We desire to train up leaders from these schools and send them forth as soul hunters.

Above all, we desire to build an ultra modern worship centre for the Lord. This shall be a non-denominational fellowship centre and not a church. Equipped with state-of-the-art musical instruments, lights etc. People will come in and be ministered to by professionals, just like they do in USA. Here, people do not rest so let them come and relax in the presence of the Lord Jesus. This building will also house a music school, recording studio, library and tape archives. This fellowship is solely for praise and worship unto God.

We appreciate your desire and goal to make as many people as possible know our ministry’s work. God bless PRAISE NATION. We are praying for the entire staff and the President. We love you!
