About My Family
I am from Nigeria and am married to Jummai Nache. We are blessed with four children. I accepted Christ in Sunday School and was discipled by the church. I became committed to sharing the gospel with unbelievers around me, especially Muslims who were our primary neighbors. I went to seminary in Nigeria. Before graduation, I planted two churches and started a Christian ministry called HAS Mission International. The ministry is involved in training churches in Muslim evangelism, resettlement of converts and skills acquisition.
In 2010, God opened the door for us to study in the United States. After graduation in 2014, the Lord opened the door for a ministry through the North American Mission Board for me to serve as a missionary/church planter in Minnesota, where I’m presently serving.

About My Church Plant
My wife, our four daughters and I serve in Minneapolis. We have planted two churches in the Twin Cities. Hope of Nation Gospel Church is predominantly South Sudanese with a few other nationals. The second church is Hope of Nations Fellowship Church whose members are from northern Nigeria. I preach in two churches every Sunday. We do have combined services when we have special occasions like Easter, Christmas and baptism services.
We are also engaged in Muslim and prayer ministries where we train churches in reaching out to the Muslims. We have been reaching out to the Somalis and other people groups with the gospel. We have developed many relationships with many Somalis, some of whom I met in the shopping mall, at Halal stores, Walmart and the gym. Despite challenges, we are trusting the Lord complete His work in their lives.

NAMB Church Planting
Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is a person who, in response to God's call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at namb.net/send-me.
