Projects you could support at Sheepfold Chapel

Multimedia & TV

Sheepfold Chapel is a ministry with a passion to ‘rescue the perishing and care for the dying’. We achieve this goal by preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This project aims at preaching and teaching the gospel through the power of multimedia. It involves beaming messages preached by Rev. Richard Otu on Radio, Television, You-Tube and the internet. The project is responsible for developing and managing a Sheepfold Chapel website as an interactive medium where messages preached and taught could be downloaded both electronically and in print. The website shall receive prayer requests and will host Biblical discussions and edifying debates. The project intends to deliver live Christian programs on TV to be hosted by Rev Otu. Preaching programs on Radio will invite phone calls for prayers to be delivered to the sick and afflicted. This project will deliver great value by attracting unbelievers into the Kingdom of God, sustaining believers globally and by increasing the membership of Sheepfold Chapel.

Inner-City Mission

One of the values of Sheepfold is to show compassion to the poor and needy as Christ taught. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world James 1:27. To this end, the Inner-City Mission aims at identifying needy persons and supporting them spiritually, socially and economically. The project will deliver support to needy school children and young adults by providing them with clothing, textbooks, study materials and supporting them pay school fees. On special occasions like Christmas Day/ Easter/Mother’s Day/Father’s Day, Sheepfold Chapel through Inner-City Mission will demonstrate the love of Christ to the world by providing gifts to the homeless, disadvantaged men and women as well as the neglected in our communities. The project will be delivered through an engagement process with beneficiaries where the word of God will be presented. The Inner-City Mission project will present evangelistic opportunities to Sheepfold Chapel and enhance the community image of our Church.

General Welfare

As a Church, we believe in loving one another and taking care of each other’s needs as Christ taught. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God. 1st John 4:7. This project aims to sustain Sheepfold’s determination to rejoice with those who rejoice and to mourn with those who mourn as commanded by the word of God in Romans 12:15. Your partnership of the General Welfare project will ensure the achievement of the following: Regular visitation by leaders and members of the Church and financial contribution to members when bereaved (parents, siblings, spouses, children, in-laws ) during celebrations and special occasions (Engagements, Weddings; Childbirth) and during children’s birthdays.

Meet-a-need Project

Sheepfold Chapel has a moral and social responsibility of showing compassion to society as amply demonstrated by Christ. Jesus fed 5000 people in a seemingly impossible environment (desert place) using five loaves of bread and three fish. This project aims at engaging the attention of the poor, the needy and the distressed by providing them with a facility that provides them hot meals, coffee, tea all-day long. The facility will gladly receive drug addicts, alcoholics, street children, the lonely, the neglected, and the elderly and provide them with food. They will afterwards be engaged by our counselors who will open up to them and obtain their friendship. The rapport to be established with them will be progressed and sustained till they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Master. At another level, school dropouts will be encouraged to go back to school; the jobless will be packaged to seek jobs, and those lacking basic life skills will be trained. The project requires your support to pay the cost of food and drinks, expenses of counselors and trainers and other operational expenses. The project provides life-time skills to beneficiaries and opens avenues of blessing to Sheepfold.
