EASTERN ZONE

Blessed be God, our faithful Father, who has continually sustained and strengthened the Eastern Zone for fruitful service in His vineyard. Throughout the month of April, the Lord graciously led the various chapters through seasons of prayer, fellowship, missions engagement, academic growth, and leadership development. As preparations for the Eastern Zonal Prayer and Missions Conference (EZPMC) intensified across the zone, chapters remained vibrant and active, recording impactful engagements that strengthened members. 

Prayer and spiritual devotion remained central across the zone, as chapters commenced the month with Abba Father Prayers and sustained regular fasting, prayer meetings, prayer stretches, and devotional gatherings. ABSUTH, AEFUTH, COOUTH, ESUTH, EBSUTH, NAUTH, RSUTH, UCTH, UNTH, UPTH, and UUTH all observed dedicated chapter days of prayer and fasting, while chapters such as IMSUTH and COOUTH maintained weekly prayer meetings and prayer squads throughout the month. ESUTH coordinated chain prayers for IMM, while NAUTH organized pre-EZPMC prayers, prayer squad calls, and an extended prayer stretch. UCTH also sustained regular morning devotions and coordinated prayer meetings across multiple days of the week, reflecting the deep spiritual hunger across the zone.

The month equally witnessed sustained academic and leadership engagements across chapters. ESUTH organized a session on the use of academic tools, while IMSUTH continued tutorials and the Excel Mentorship Scheme. NAUTH remained academically active through mock quizzes, weekly assessments, and Academic Board engagements, while UNTH concluded the month with an Academic Board Forum. EBSUTH hosted a Student Clinical Forum, and several chapters, including AEFUTH, GUTH, and UUTH, held class activities, logo explorations, and leadership or executive meetings geared toward strengthening structure and participation within the fellowship.

Mission activities and practical expressions of service also featured prominently throughout the month. ESUTH carried out orphanage and pediatric outreaches alongside personal evangelism initiatives through Operation Convert Your Classmate. EBSUTH organized a Rural Missions Outreach, while COOUTH and GUTH conducted hospital evangelism efforts. IMSUTH sustained ward evangelism activities, and UCTH actively engaged members through Missions Awareness programmes and Operation Convert Your Classmates (CYC). AEFUTH also commemorated World Health Day with a secondary school health education outreach, while GUTH organized a health campaign in observance of World Shaken Baby Syndrome Day.

A major highlight across the zone during the month was participation in the Eastern Zonal Prayer and Missions Conference (EZPMC) 2026 hosted by UPTH from April 10th–12th. Chapters actively mobilized members toward the conference, while several chapters subsequently organized “Echoes from EZPMC” meetings and retreats to reinforce lessons and stir members toward deeper commitment and service.

At the zonal level, the Eastern Zonal Committee convened virtually on April 25th via Google Meet, where reports from the various chapters were presented and reviewed. This was followed by a special session held on April 27th themed “Balance and Productivity,” featuring a past leader who charged members on living purposefully while maintaining spiritual and academic excellence.

Indeed, the Lord has remained faithful to the Eastern Zone, guiding every chapter and strengthening every member for the work ahead. We remain confident that He who has begun this good work among us will continue to perfect it for His glory. To God alone be all the praise.

WESTERN ZONE

Theme: “The Outpouring; A Fruitful Life.”

We return all glory to God for His faithfulness and the tremendous activities recorded across the Western Zone during the months of April and May. The Lord has continued to strengthen the chapters for impactful service, sustaining members spiritually, academically, and missionally as they labour together in alignment with the vision for the year. Across the zone, chapters remained vibrant through prayer gatherings, leadership engagements, missions activities, academic programmes, outreaches, and preparations toward the Western Zonal Prayer and Missions Conference (WZPMC).

Prayer and spiritual engagements remained a strong focus across the zone. Several chapters commenced both months with Abba Father prayers, while chapter days of fasting and prayer were consistently observed across AAU/ISTH, ABUADTH, DELSUTH, IUTH, LASUTH, LUTH, OOUTH, UBTH, and UNIOSUNTH. DELSUTH sustained extensive pre-conference prayers and weekly night prayers across the Oghara, Warri, and Abraka wings, while chapters such as BUTH, OOUTH, and UNIOSUNTH organized special pre-WZPMC prayer sessions. Prayer retreats, midnight prayers, prayer stretches, and executive prayer meetings also featured prominently, reinforcing spiritual sensitivity and alignment within the chapters.

Academic growth and leadership development also remained active across the zone. AAU/ISTH organized an Academic Week and Academic Seminar, while BUTH hosted an academic webinar for 100-level students. IUTH conducted mock examinations and later announced an academic seminar and newsletter launch, while UBTH held an academic seminar alongside its Creative Hub initiative. LUTH organized an academic seminar and first aid training, and DELSUTH hosted Excel and examination orientation programmes for clinical students. Several chapters also held logo explorations, school executive meetings, leadership trainings, financial summits, and chapter reviews aimed at strengthening coordination and personal development among members.

Mission and outreach activities were equally sustained throughout the period. AAU/ISTH organized street evangelism and a school outreach, while ABUADTH, BUTH, LASUTH, LUTH, OOUTH, and UBTH carried out hospital evangelism and outreach activities. DELSUTH conducted a prison outreach through the Wholeness Missions initiative, while IUTH organized a free rural medical outreach. UNIOSUNTH remained actively engaged through rural outreach programmes, campus evangelism preparations, and virtual health campaigns, while LASUTH and UBTH also sustained missions awareness and outreach engagements within their communities.

The Western Zonal Prayer and Missions Conference (WZPMC), held from May 1st–3rd, served as a major highlight across the zone, with chapters actively participating and subsequently organizing review meetings, echoes sessions, and follow-up engagements to reinforce lessons and rekindle passion for missions and discipleship.

We remain grateful to God for His sustaining grace and trust Him for greater impact across the chapters in the days ahead.
