USAfrica and CLASSmagazine (Houston) have received a popular e-mail on the humorous but actual church/mission/evangelism ministry names in Nigeria.
The compiler of the list is, so far, not known to me, our editors and correspondents. We welcome him or her to indicate his/her identity. We note, too, that another yet unknown creative person added comments in the brackets, in an effort to explain and make sense of the mysterious names and ‘spiritual’ mandates of these ministries.
Shall we say, only in Nigeria, would you have a church named “Fire for Fire Ministry” and another, nearby, is known as “Run for your Life Ministry.” With fire and brimstone and fire for fire chants, what else is left but for any sensible person to run for his/her dear life.
Yes, only in our dear and wonderful Nigeria will a ministry bear an oxymoronic twist of Angels on ‘Fire Chapel of Peace’. For full point and kill impact, there’s also the world famous ‘Guided Missiles Church.’ The church’s bus and picture follow immediately….
Before, you read through the hilarious list of wacky names of Nigerian churches and evangelism ministries, let me begin by saying: Hallelu..halleluya!! Hallelu..halleluya!!! By Chido Nwangwu, Publisher USAfricaonline.com

Either the founder is or was a member of NATO time will tell but I must tell you Boss be sure of source because it is written that “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD” (Proverbs 17:150″,”Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm” is a serious waring GOD gave concerning his anointed.( 1 chr.16;22), But for one to find out what is true or false they must look into matter and hear both sides before they make a final judgment. “The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge” (Proverbs 18:15).
I know the founder personally and I tell you he is a man of impeccable quality and character ,a seasoned man of God that have paid his dues in the Christian Pentecostal Ministry of Nigeria (CPM), The like of his pedigree are few, I tell you this with full conviction he does nothing without hearing from God, so if the church he founded is Called Guided Missiles Church I, My family and thousands of other follower n Nigeria and outside know that the name is definitely from God.
So Boss repent and ask Gods’ for forgiveness before His anger come upon you. Be bless.
