CHURCH OF CHRIST MISSIONS
Nigeria Mission
| Doug Wheeler is our "Missionary in Residence" at the Westside Church of Christ in Norman, Oklahoma. For over 20 years, Doug has been traveling over to Nigeria, West Africa spreading the good news of Jesus Christ and sharing the love and benevolence of many American Christians. For five years now, our congregation has personally helped in expanding this great work by giving thousands of dollars annually to support the spreading of the gospel in Ekiti State, Nigeria. |  |

The two most populous cities in Nigeria are Lagos and Ibadan, each with over 15 million people. There are 330,000 members of the church of Christ meeting in 3,700 congregations. |  |

India Mission / Lifeline of Hope
International Orphan Aid and Adoption
LIFELINE OF HOPE has been aiding and supporting orphans and homeless children in Far East Russia for more than five years and is now providing aid in several other countries as well. LIFELINE currently supports over 17,000 orphan children through financial contributions and gifts in kind from our many caring doners as Churches, individuals, other organizations and businesses. |
 |
Mission Statement Our Mission and Yours! To bring hope to the orphans of the world by providing food, shelter, medical, children's Bibles, educational assistance, adoption services and more in a manner that breaks the cycle of dependence and promotes individual and societal productivity as well as charitable character within the community. |
 |
Our church family has contributed thousands of dollars to this very worthwhile organization. Recently this church took up a special collection to specifically help Indian orphans and we collected over $10,000 to send to their aid. God bless these needy children as they grow and understand the grace of our Lord in their lives. And God bless those who gave from their abundance and who understand what the Lord teaches us about what pure religion is all about. Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows and refuse to let the world corrupt us. James 1:27. |
