In the heart of Badagry, Nigeria—a town rich in history and culture—a small group of believers gathers in a humble home, united by one mission: to share the love of Christ with their community. Since its beginning in 2020, Okanran Church of the Nazarene has been a beacon of hope. But now, its walls are too small to hold the growing number of hearts eager to worship, learn, and serve.
Badagry sits along a busy border road, where travelers, traders, and tourists pass through daily. It’s a vibrant crossroads of faiths and backgrounds—an ideal place to shine God’s light. But to truly reach the community and grow new leaders, this church needs room to breathe.
The dream is bold but beautiful: to purchase land and build a permanent home. A place where worship echoes freely. Where children can grow through a Child Development Center. Where leaders are equipped. And where the church becomes a launchpad for future ministries.
The local congregation has already begun giving and praying. Now they’re inviting you to be part of something bigger than any one person—a movement of faith, hope, and transformation.
Your gift can help lay the foundation for generations to come.
Partner with us. Pray with us. Grow with us. Plant hope in Badagry.
