The gospel to all the world, beginning from us
We exist to witness to Jesus Christ in Lagos South West and beyond, empowered by the Holy Spirit to proclaim His saving grace and transform communities.
“The gospel to all the world beginning from us, by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 1:8
Our vision is rooted in the Great Commission and the promise of the Holy Spirit. As Jesus commanded His disciples, we are called to be witnesses, starting from our own community and extending to the ends of the earth.
This vision drives everything we do at the Diocese of Lagos South West. We believe that the gospel message must first take root in our own hearts and communities before we can effectively share it with others.
Scripture focus
“...and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised, but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
Luke 24:47-49 (NIV)
