REQUEST FOR VISIT/PERSONAL COUNSEL
Jesus
commanded His followers to feed His sheep (John 21:15-17). To
fulfill this command, the United Church of God has congregations
around the world. In these congregations believers assemble to be
instructed from the Scriptures and to fellowship.

Church of God is committed to understanding and practicing New
Testament Christianity. We desire to share God's way of life with
those who earnestly seek to worship and follow our Savior, Jesus
Christ. Our ministers are available to counsel, answer questions and
explain the Bible. I am the Minister resident in, and an Associate
Pastor for, Nigeria, Please call me on 08033233193 or (01)

Cover Story
Are America's Superpower Days Numbered?
Great powers come and go. For more than six decades the United
States has been the world's dominant power. Seventy years ago,
Great Britain—with its vast empire—was the world's greatest
power. Could the United States follow Britain into decline, to
be replaced by another power? Is time running out on America's
days as a superpower?
