ICLC in your city/ Mid-Year Awards 2024: Celebrating Soul Winners and Partners Advancing the Gospel

On Sunday, July 14th, 2024, the city came alive with the much-anticipated ICLC in your city / Mid-Year Awards. The conference centered around soul-winning and recognized and celebrated the tremendous efforts of cell leaders who have passionately dedicated themselves to spreading the Gospel and winning souls. These awards also acknowledged key partnerships that have empowered these efforts, helping to expand the reach of the ministry globally.

The Mission of Soul Winning The ICLC is all about equipping and empowering cell leaders to fulfill their mandate of soul-winning. These leaders, who are at the forefront of evangelism, have worked tirelessly throughout the year to bring the message of salvation to people in their communities, workplaces, and families. Their dedication to growing the body of Christ has not only transformed lives but also advanced the global vision of reaching every soul with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

During the awards ceremony, outstanding cell leaders were honored for their extraordinary achievements in soul-winning. These champions of faith were recognized for their commitment to sharing the Gospel and building vibrant, thriving cell groups. Many have seen exponential growth, with some cell leaders reporting record numbers of new converts being added to the Kingdom.

Partnerships That Strengthen the Vision While the heart of ICLC is soul-winning, the role of partnership in advancing this mission cannot be overlooked. Awards were also presented to individuals and groups who have provided critical support to the ministry’s outreach arms, including Rhapsody of Realities, the Healing School, and the Inner City Mission. Their partnerships have made it possible for the Gospel to reach far and wide.

Celebrating the Heroes of the Gospel Throughout the day, testimonies of remarkable soul-winning exploits were shared, leaving the audience inspired and motivated. From the streets of inner cities to rural communities, the Gospel has been preached, and lives have been transformed. One of the highlights was hearing from cell leaders who have pioneered new groups in once-unreached areas. Their stories of perseverance, faith, and doggedness were a reminder of the importance of every soul and the eternal impact of the work being done.

As our dear man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSC DSC DD. often emphasizes, “Soul winning is God's number one job.” This conference and the awards celebrated those who have aligned their hearts with this divine mandate, proving that the power of God is at work through every cell leader, every prayer, and every act of evangelism.

Looking Ahead with Renewed Zeal As we step into the second half of 2024, the ICLC / Mid-Year Awards served not only as a time of celebration but also as a rallying call to continue the work with even greater fervor. The recipients, along with all cell leaders present, were inspired to set new goals for soul-winning and to grow their cell groups further.

The partnerships that were acknowledged during the event will continue to play a vital role in supporting this mission, enabling the ministry to reach more people than ever before. Together, through soul-winning and partnership, the Church is expanding, and the return of the Lord is hastened.

A Day to Remember The ICLC / Mid-Year Awards 2024 will be remembered as a powerful day of reflection, recognition, and rededication to the cause of the Gospel. As cell leaders left the event, there was a renewed sense of purpose and excitement about the impact that is yet to be made. The future of soul-winning has never been brighter.
