Learn about our heritage, our faith, and the journey of AGN-MACAULAY as a local assembly of Assemblies of God Nigeria committed to raising disciples and transforming lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our Heritage (Assemblies of God Nigeria)
Assemblies of God Nigeria traces its earliest beginning to the life and works of Augustus Ehurie Wogu who became born again in 1930. He thereafter returned to Umuahia where his preaching converted the likes of George Mnorom Alioha, Nathaniel Umechuruba, Marcus Asonye, Joseph Asonye, among others. These form the crop of the early fathers and leaders of the church.
Between the years 1931 and 1935 these group of young men and women soundly converted and living at Old Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria, were reading various religious periodicals that told of many people in many lands who were receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues, according to Acts 2:4. They became convinced that the Pentecostal experience was for them too. Within a short while many of them were blessed with the Baptism in the Holy in 1934.
They established a number of churches. At that time they were not affiliated with any overseas Mission. After much prayer they requested the American Assemblies of God to send them a resident missionary.
In June, 1939, Rev. & Mrs. Williams Lloyd Shirer, a Missionary in what was then called Gold Coast (Ghana) was sent to meet the few Pastors and young men of “The Church of Jesus Christ.” They worked out an agreement of affiliation with the Assemblies of God in Springfield, Missouri, U.S.A. and the “Church of Jesus Christ” was officially renamed “Assemblies of God”. Early in July 1939, the Shirers returned to Tamele, Gold Coast (Ghana). Late in August, 1939, the affiliation agreement was officially sanctioned. Rev. Shirer’s recommendation to the American Assemblies of God resulted in Rev. and Mrs. Everrest L. Philips coming to Nigeria in February, 1940. Other Missionaries soon followed.From that beginning both the Nigerian Pastors and the overseas Missionaries found a great response to their preaching of the Gospel and church planting efforts. One of the first projects they embarked on was to establish a Bible School at Old Umuahia, Abia State, where the young pastors could receive training for the Ministry. Later, a Printing Press was established at Aba, Abia State, to provide printed materials for the young, growing and multiplying churches. That Printing Press is still operating and is producing huge amounts of literature not only for the Nigerian Assemblies of God but for other churches, too. And that one Bible School has grown to ten schools strategically located in the country.
