Every February, the Nigeria Evangelical Missions Association (NEMA) invites the Body of Christ to an annual celebration of God’s faithfulness in the global harvest through the Month of Missions. This month serves as a powerful reminder of the obedience of the Church and mission agencies to the Great Commission, as we reflect on the remarkable ways God is drawing the nations to Himself.

This year’s theme, “More Than Conquerors”, is drawn from Romans 8:37, which declares, “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” It is a rallying call to the Church to persevere and thrive in the face of challenges, assured of our victory in Christ Jesus.
Why the Month of Missions?
The Month of Missions is more than just an observance; it is a mobilization movement. It is a time to:
• Celebrate the Lord’s work through missionaries and mission agencies.
• Challenge the Church to greater participation in the Great Commission.
• Pray fervently for unreached people groups and nations.
• Engage every believer to contribute—whether through going, sending, praying, or giving.

Our Core Emphasis
In our pursuit to ensure that no place, person, language or people is left, we are strategic through the following initiatives and more.

1. Vision 5015 Plus: The Vision 5015 Plus initiative is NEMA’s bold mandate to mobilize 50,000 Great Commission advocates, train, send, and support 15,000 missionaries to reach 34 core Islamic countries located within one-half of the 10/40 Window. Starting from Northern Nigeria, the mission extends through the Sahel, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Jerusalem Neighbourhood, as well as major migrant settlements across the globe.
2. Countdown to 30 Initiative: Nigeria is still home to 40 Unreached People Groups (UPG) and 3 Least Evangelized People Groups (LEPG). “Counting Down to 30” is an initiative to encourage the adoption and engagement of thirteen tribes from the remaining unreached and least evangelised people groups by December 2025.
3. Missions to Europe: With Europe increasingly becoming a mission field due to secularization and dwindling faith practices, NEMA has recognized the need for intentional re-engagement of the continent. Missions to Europe seeks to send missionaries, establish partnerships, and share the gospel in Europe’s spiritually needy regions.
4. Urban Missions Initiative: Urbanization is reshaping the global mission landscape, and Nigeria is no exception. More people now live in cities than in rural areas. By 2050, 7 out of 10 persons on earth will be in the cities. Through the Urban Missions Initiative, NEMA is addressing the opportunities and challenges of sharing the gospel in rapidly growing cities across Nigeria and beyond.

Through all of these, the Month of Missions 2025 aims to inspire action. This is a time to reflect on the people yet to be reached and the faithful labourers already at work. As more families, churches, agencies, and individuals join hands, we look forward to seeing God’s glory fill the earth as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14).

Ways to Participate
1. Adopt a people group/ country: From all the expressions, you can adopt a tribe or nation for engagement.
2. Invite Missionaries to Speak: Host missionaries in your church or fellowship to share their stories, challenges, and testimonies.
3. Organize Mission Prayers: Dedicate time to pray for UPGs, missionaries, and mission agencies.
4. Give Financially: Support missionaries and mission projects in practical ways.
5. Engage in Outreach/ Evangelism: Use the month as an opportunity to reach your community and beyond with the Gospel.
6. Learn and Mobilize: Attend mission workshops or seminars to better understand how to engage in missions effectively.
