In partnership with Bishop Noah Effiong, founder of African Global Ministries Network and ANS Ministries representative in West Africa, ANS Ministries conducted the Nigeria Hope Tour 2013 in Ikom, CRS.   This event was the first of its kind ever done in this region, where over 12 villages were mobilized through the All Nations Soccer Cup, leadership conference and gospel crusade. We were honored to have present at the final match of the ANS Cup the monarchies from several of the participating villages. Watch the videos below describing more about this incredible experience.

“My first visit to the African continent was memorable! Unbelievable to see so many people were engaged during our ANS Cup. I Loved the opportunity I received to speak to the community during nightly open air crusade, praying with the local leaders and most of all worshipping the creator with my Nigerian brothers!”

“To this day I thank God for the opportunity that He gave me through All Nations Soccer Ministries to go serve in Nigeria. We didn’t only go there to volunteer, nor to simply visit by far. We were sent there on a mission; to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, and as far as I know that mission was assigned to all of us, so invite you to be part of this; Embrace your purpose, and start to walk towards all that God has planned for your life!

Once again; I thank God and All Nations Soccer Ministries for giving me the opportunity to get closer to what God has designed for me, and for others.”

[/vc_willow_quote][vc_willow_quote cite=”Thiago Goncalves – President ANS Ministries, Inc.”]“Nigeria Hope Tour 2013 was a dream come true. When I was in Niger 2009 ( A neighboring nation) I came really close to Nigeria but not quite there, ever since I dreamt to come serve in Nigeria. I just could have never imagined that my visit to Nigeria would have been this intense and exciting. The Nigerian people are passionate about soccer and their worship services are musical and passionate. Definitely Nigeria is a perfect ground for ANS Ministries to do its work of winning souls for Christ. “[/vc_willow_quote][/vc_willow_quotes_carousel][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space][vc_text_separator title=”ANS Cup” color=”green” style=”double”][vc_column_text]The ANS Cup is a soccer tournament designed to mobilized communities so that fans and participants may be exposed to the character and gospel of Jesus Christ.
