Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matt 28:18-20.
 To God be the glory for His loving-kindness over our lives in Ekiti Conference. Though we are unworthy, He chose us to propagate the gospel of His Kingdom to the entire world in our generation. 
The Assignment which the Holy Angels desired but not given to them.
The activities in this report were not carried out by the department alone, but with all other Departments, the Pastors and all active members in the entire conference.

CHALLENGES:
1.     The major challenges we faced during the year under review were:
(a)             lack of adequate fund to engage the required number of Pioneers;
(b)            inability to acquire effective Public Address System;
(c)             unavailability of Literatures.   
(d)            lack of effective transportation and
(e)             Timing of Programs: Our Major Public Evangelisms were often disturbed by rain.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.     That the Conference should increase the budget meant for Evangelism.
2.     That WNUC should come to our assistance to sponsor some efforts, as Ekiti Conference may not be able to meet up due to the present financial predicament in the state.
3.     That Our Public Efforts be carried out during the dry season.


May we not labour in vain in Jesus Name. Amen. Thanks and God Bless.
