Bøker av John Idoko

There are different kinds of people moving out of rural areas into urban centers, moving from the North into the South daily; different kinds of people among northern migrants and immigrants in the neighborhood of the Church. And there are also different kinds of believers in the Church who interface and interact with these different "people groups" daily in the marketplace. This daily interfacing between migrants and believers into host communities present great ministry opportunities for believers to reach their kind with the gospel of salvation.This book presents the constantly changing kaleidoscope of migrating "people groups" into the neighborhoods of all our churches today. The author then suggests linking up specific social -economic groups within local churches with these migrating 'people groups' for the purpose of Gospel outreach. Reach Your Kind in Diaspora Missions clearly highlights for believers that irrespective of their location, profession, church affiliation and station in life, each should reach his/her kind. It gives a specific list of 'people groups' among migrants in order to make the work of Diaspora Missions more focused and effective.Right where you stand... reach your kind in diaspora missions.

"The author remains an inspiration to me and many others who are in constant need of new information and revelation for ministry to the children of Ishmael and Missions.This book is fresh from the throne of grace, for me, knowledge has just been unveiled to us and when I found it, I devoured it. The book to me is first and foremost a healing balm. It exposed the hidden and silent anger and hatred in my heart towards Ishmael. It made me to understand that my responsibility is to wage warfare of peace on them, and the instrumentality of my warfare is the gospel of peace. I can wage this warfare of peace everyday and anytime with every part of my body.I now know better that the Ishmaelites are in desperate need of peace and I am the peacemaker who has been endowed with the ability to give them peace. Whenever I wage peace on them, I am blessed in return (Matthew 5:9). I must see them as they are (perishing sinners in desperate need of what I have to offer-the gospel of peace). I recommend this book to all believers who want to see the will of God done on earth as it is in heaven; believers who are in desperate need of solution and guidance on how best to approach evangelizing the children of Ishmael.Let us arise and wage peace on Ishmael."Godwin Aluge, Missionary, Nigeria. "I have had the privilege of reading books published by the author and have been immensely blessed and spurred into actions by them and by the life and commitment he blazed. Waging Peace on Ishmael is a timely material that can bring healing to the hurts and answers to the mind-boggling questions. This book, in my humble opinion, is an attempt to bring the church into a correct perspective of where God stands NOW as far as Ishmael is concerned and to bring the church to stand with God on this prophetic time of harvest. I sincerely recommend that every believer in Christ read this book and take action and that churches use the material as a Bible study resource in equipping the saints for ministry among the Ishmaelites."

"The book, Ishmael in the Presence of His Brethren, is a biblical explanation for the 'ubiquitous' nature of Ishmaelites and the purpose for which God allows it.The years of experience coupled with on-the-job expertise of the author and the accurate insight into the Scriptures with which the book is written makes it a must for every believer who is serious about sharing Christ's love with the Muslims anywhere in the world."Dotun Adeboye, Training Director, Christian Missionary Foundation (CMF). "John Idoko has done a neat job of unmasking Ishmael in a simple and easy to read prose. He has offered the reader a depth of insight and inspiration that is both educative and instructive. Though primarily written for those seeking to reach the sons of Abraham's other first son, Ishmael in the Presence of His Brethren will be a welcome tool for those of that clan who need to know or want to find out the truth about their pedigree. It is very enjoyable to read and helpful for ministry to the Muslims."Timothy Olonade, President, El-Rehoboth Global Leadership Foundation; Int'l Lead Facilitator, M2414Initiative, Jos, Nigeria. "Today there is a lot of fear among Christians concerning the advance of Islam, especially when violent terrorists claim to be motivated by the God of Islam. Are these terrorists betraying a peaceful Islam? Or does Islam have a DNA that includes "genes" of violence"? The author of Ishmael in the Presence of His Brethren excavates answers to these questions, going all the way back to the two "firstborn" sons of Abraham in the Bible. Then the author clearly answers another question. Is God behind the influx of Muslims into Christian countries and communities? If so, what is God's strategy for His church? That strategy is what this book explains so well-the only way to a lasting "peaceful coexistence" in this world and the next, the Peace given through Christ Jesus, not as the world gives."Ruth Veltkamp, missionary teacher, USA.

God is hastening the return of Christ. He is doing that bymaking the proclamation of the gospel to people thathitherto have been locked up in regions that wereconsidered closed to the Gospel. How is God doing this? He isdoing this by allowing cataclysms all over the world that arecausing massive movement of people from those spots toother parts of the world. Few years ago, movement ofrefugees from some parts of the Middle East to Europebecame a global problem. Migration of people (for whateverreasons) has become a present day phenomenon that wecannot avoid talking about. Even in missions missiologistshave come out with a new buzz word: "Diaspora missiology".This is a new way of thinking. Unreached people can bereached not only in their home lands but also everywhereelse because many of the unreached people are alreadyDiaspora people. Here in Nigeria, people are also moving massively fromthe Northwest, North central and Northeast to the South inlarge numbers. Most&nbs
