The FLM Team arrived in Nigeria Tuesday afternoon where they were warmly received by the brethren of SGBC, Lagos. The resources brought in by the team were quickly unpacked and organized as fellowship and catching up with dear friends quickly took place. There would be a couple days of recovery from travel and important meetings as final preparations for the 2018 Lagos Bible Conference took place. The theme of the conference this year would cover the topic of God’s Love. The speakers would give various messages emphasizing the biblical definition and dimensions of God’s love as contrasted with the disparities of what is commonly called love in culture. Special emphasis was given to the state of affairs within the Nigerian churches.

Friday kicked off the conference with over 150 souls pouring in from the surrounding area. The venue was soon filled to near capacity. Saturday would see almost 200 individuals which would put the small venue to maximum use.
