Christian  activities in Ndokwa land after 1970 and up to date cannot  be complete without  the involvement of the  Ndokwa Christian Congress  on Evangelisation. Having  located Ndokwa on the map of Nigeria in an earlier chapter, I will go straight  to talk  about  Ndokwa  Christian  Congress.  History begins with event occurring  and records  of such  event being kept. Ndokwa Christian Congress is the largest, single inter­ denominational gathering of Ndokwa Christians in Ndokwa land.  We may have Baptist,  Catholics,  Anglicans  and  other orthodox denominations. But Ndokwa Christian Congress has assumed  the position  of an apex Christian  body in Ndokwa nation.

This  position   can  be  clearly  seen  in  the  name  being  all embracing.  You may talk  of  the  Catholic,  Anglican,  Faith Foundations,  Baptist,    Full   Gospel,   Christian   Assembly, Church  of God Mission  and so on, but  the Congress  in her operations and composition includes all of them.All Christian denominations in  Ndokwa  nation  are  participating in  the Annual Congress Camp Meeting. The activities of the Ndokwa Christian  Congress  on Evangelisation are spread  out in  the following articles  that  were amended  in 1984 to streamline composition  and co-operation. A brief history of the Ndokwa Christian Congress on Evangelisation for the first article table continued innext paragraph. The Ndokwa Christian Congress did not begin at any time as a one man affair. Neither was it ever operated as one man affair. Ndokwa Christian Congress  has officers from across the participating churches. These officers formed the programme directorate  and the Executives.  Every decision  of the  “Congress” was taken  at an Executive Arm General Meeting held once every month or as often as the need arise.  Whatever  happened   in  the  process   of  time  in  the operation and composition of the Ndokwa Christian Congress operations and leadership can be ascribed to the hand work of God. Growth is very fundamental to any living organism. So, Ndokwa Christian  Congress being a living organism has been experiencing operational and organizational growth like in any other human institution. Some welcome these growths while others see it as a weapon to fight the Congress. From the above hand book article establishing the Ndokwa Christian Congress on Evangelism from one town /village to another through  the Annual Camp Meeting degenerated into ten towns: Abbi, Obiaruku, and Kwale in 1986; there was good reason for such change. Although  so many came but  what followed was not their interest.

But now Camp Meetings of the Congress provides an avenue for Ndokwa Christians to discuss, train and equip participants on how to evangelise Ndokwa land and contend  for the faith that was once delivered to the saints; this has been on since 1977.Before 1977, there was no Christian body of this kind in Ndokwa land.  What we had  were individual  denominations operating in their own way as Baptists, Catholic, Anglican and Christ Apostolic Church.  Unity among the Orthodox Church was far from  reaching  its  magnitude.  Jesus prayed for the churchin John 17.

Since 1977, the Congress has played several roles to prove its contribution to the transformation of the three  local government areas. From the beginning of the Congress till now, those who attended the camp meetings, the General and Ministers Conference have attested to the kind of unity we now enjoy  among  believers.  The  various   denominations that attended the Congress programmes are now interested in this gathering of Ndokwa sons and daughter of Christ. This is why after the Camp  Meetings we still  come together on the same single purpose of evangelism. The Ndokwa Christians outside Ndokwa land, Ndokwa Christian  Union Lagos  avail themselves for Annual Crusades or Retreats also. Activities of the  Ndokwa  Christian Congress are highly complimented by Ndokwa Christians in diaspora. In fact, the Ndokwa Christian Union, Lagos and the Congress are one. Changes in any form bring opposition. Challenges usually follow such oppositions. This was  the  case  of the  Ndokwa Christian Congress. The significant roles  played by Faith Foundations Evangelistic Ministry  in   her   mobilisation  of   the   Ndokwa   Christian Congress course generated opposition which have brought the Congress to its available position today. We are very grateful to God that what we now have on ground was not just an effort of man and woman, but a vision  from God to transform Ndokwa land.
