Youth Making a Difference...

Introducing: Emeka Gbogboade!

Emeka is the son of Pastor Wole Gbogboade, President of Reach the Children of Africa. Emeka is in his mid-20's and attends university in Nigeria. He is what I call a REAL Christian.

Emeka has a ministry. It is not publicized, doesn't earn him fame or popularity, and usually goes unseen by others. His ministry is simply caring about people. He focuses on doing what he CAN do to make their lives a little better. That might be teaching a youth how to play the drums, or teaching a bunch of kids how to play football (soccer in Nigeria). He looks for opportunities to use whatever he has to help others.

Emeka played the drums in his dad's church for many years. One night in a dream, he saw a keyboard above him. In the dream, he began to play it. When he woke up, he knew God had supernaturally given him the ability to play. He has been playing the keyboard ever since, helping with worship and in a Jazz Band with guys from the university. He dared to try the impossible, and found it possible!

Emeka is friends with Steve Carey of The Drive TV program created for youth here in the USA and in Australia. Steve spent over a month in Nigeria with a HCI Internship program, ministering to the youth and helping at the school. Steve is a REAL Christian too - he lives what he believes. He and Emeka are much alike and are changing the world from both sides. You can read their blogs by clicking on the links noted in the side panel - don't miss it!
