Bishop Henry Ndukuba in February 2005 which coincided with the World Conference of the All Nations Church.Well, who is Bishop Henry Ndukuba?He is the Anglican Bishop of the Gombe Dioceses in North Eastern Nigeria where the church is still persecuted and believers martyred by Muslims living in the region.He is a prayer warrior who has a calling to these parts of Nigeria, and has had some brushes with deathly violent attacks from Islamic fanatics from which the Lord has delivered him miraculously at sundry times.He lives in Gombe with his wife and 5 children.He oversees some 23 churches in Northern Nigeria.He received his theological training at Princeton, NJ; ABU Zaria; and in London, England several years earlier before returning to Nigeria to serve in ministry under the Anglican Communion.We both come from Ogberuru.He was one of the many delegates from Africa at the World Apostolic Congress held at All Nations Church.He came after attending to some other business of the Anglican Communion / Church of Nigeria.We were privileged to have him as our guest for a few days.
After we learned about the work & ministry of Bishop Henry in Gombe State, and the difficult water challenges for his parishioners, dioceses, and nearby village dwellers, RNM decided to make a difference in that community.
