The Mobilizer

He is not an ordained Anglican, so he uses his voice to speak from the outside about his observations of Anglican missions. He is wise and forceful, a strategist and a mover. He knows how to make the most of his vantage point as slightly outsider.

His major presentation confronted the participants with the unsettling reality of making maintenance the priority of most churches. Maintenance instead of mission. He drove his point home and then asked those who wanted to make the shift to come forward. No less than 50 came forward for prayer.

As a missions leader and being director of a large agency, he is well known and respected in the Nigerian mission world. People listen to The Mobilizer, and not just because he is a big man with a big voice.
