Nigeria Conference December 2017

The widows shouted with joy when Mama Linda arrived. The Harmattan winds blew so much sand through the atmosphere that Wally and Linda’s flight was turned back to Lagos only fifteen minutes into their journey to Asaba. A n extra day was required before they arrived to prepare for the Widows Conference.

As in years past, Pastor Tony blessed the widows with fresh beef, staple goods, fabric wraps, and fresh produce to take home for their Christmas celebration. The women are always thrilled to receive these gifts.

This year, each woman also received a beautiful pearl and crystal bracelet handcrafted by American women. Its purpose was not only ornamental, but designed to share the Gospel message. Mama Linda clearly spoke to the salvation message and instructed the women on how they could be ambassadors for Christ by telling others the good news of Jesus.

Pastors Tony and Hephzibah Agwaniru welcome widows with Linda.

God spoke to Pastors Tony and Hephzibah in 2004 and told them His vision for the widows of Onitsha and the surrounding area. His call on Tony was to love the widows and provide for them according to the Word of God. 

That same year, God sent Mama Linda to Nigeria to work with Pastor Tony, sight unseen!  A Nigerian pastor she met in Texas during the “Big Feed”, a food and gospel distribution ministry across the border in Mexico, said he could connect Linda to a man and woman she would love. 

Thirteen years later Widow’s Might Ministry International is thriving under Pastor Tony and Pastor Hephzibah. 

A huge thank you to “Gideon’s 300”, the donors that support WMMI. You have made all this possible through your obedience to the Lord with your prayers and your financial support.

For the last thirteen years, early in the morning of December 20th, the land surrounding Shekinah Love Assembly Church in Onitsha appears to be covered in bright fabrics. Upon closer inspection, one realizes that the fabrics are being worn by widows who have traveled for as many as three days to attend this one-day event dedicated solely to them. 

Weeks of preparation have led to this great day. Anonymous donors from around Nigeria who believe in Pastor Tony and in the Lord have contributed toward the purchase of all the gifts. Widow’s Might Ministry  always participates with purchases for the widows.
