Shabach Beyond Center Nigeria

FPC is privileged to partner with the Shabach Beyond Center Nigeria in the Ungwan Boro community of Kaduna State, Nigeria to first, dig a well that will supply clean drinking water to more than 20,000 people in that community.

Secondly, this mission hopes to train and empower fellow believers in Nigeria as worship leaders. The Swam Sidis have remodeled their home in Kaduna State to serve as the Center, whose focus is to equip worship leaders to return to their various churches to point their congregations to the risen King Jesus.

The renovated facility is now housing already adopted orphans, who are taken care of by a full-time, paid housemother who lives on the property.

The Shabach Beyond Center Nigeria is founded by our own Jerry and Rachael Swam Sidi.

Construction has been completed! The Swam Sidi’s home has been remodeled to become a training center for worship leaders, a home for seven orphans, a recording studio, and a center for empowering widows.

Phase 2 - Building The Center: Completed!

We are praising God that the funds from donors and the Missionary Emergency Fund have provided enough to accomplish this amazing project! We are trusting God’s provision to carry out His vision for this mission through the newly recruited office manager, case manager, security guard, secretary, house mother, and a housekeeper.

Praising God for His bountiful blessings!

The Shabach Center is supporting widows through its Shabach Food Pantry. Rice, spaghetti, corn meal, spices, and macaroni help alleviate the needs of these women who do not have a source of income.

Support for widows:

Kindness quinches more than thirst

A second well has been drilled in Ungwan Yelwa, Kaduna, Nigeria. This well will supply clean drinking water to more than 30,000 people in this community. God used one family from our church to fund this drilling, with third well to be dug sometime later this year.

Phase 3 - A Second Well


Spurgeon Hope Ministries

Spurgeon Hope Ministries was founded by Rev. Dr. Nehemiah Maji in 2018 to serve retired pastors and the widows and orphans of pastors who died in service (either due to health issues or were martyred for their faith at the hands of Boko Haram or the Fulani Herdsmen) in Kaduna State. Since then, the ministry has expanded its work to provide direct relief to orphans in Kaduna State, as well as Christians fleeing persecution.

Rev. Dr. Maji’s family was directly threatened by terrorists, and they were forced to go into hiding. Since then, they have come to the United States and have been granted asylum. The ministry continues to go strong, and Rev. Dr. Maji continues to coordinate efforts with Spurgeon Hope Ministries and its board, as well as raise awareness in the United States about the plight of Nigerian Christians.
