PEACE HOUSE, Living Seed Team...
Introduction


All through ages, God's work has been and is being done, through human vessels, so called; set apart and ordained by God Himself. "Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them" (Acts 13:2). Two things are paramount in every work God commits unto a man: First, there is the vision, the focus, the pattern and the strategy of the work, which God in His wisdom, reveals, teaches and communicates unto the man or team of men He calls to use. Secondly, the vessels themselves. Severally, the vision and the men go together. 
  
Whereas spiritual leadership was provided under God, by men charged with the vision, all members of the team were fulfilling God's call on their lives particularly. Some were assigned specific tasks to fulfil in the work. Others just waited on the leaders as assistants, recorders and helpers. Others joined the team in a discipleship relationship with the leaders. In all, they laboured to establish God's purpose. The works resulting out of their labours were not their personal properties per se. They planted autonomous local churches and ministered to build up the body of Christ in each place God opened unto them. Some of them were sent to tribes and cultures other than theirs. They pioneered works, yet they all related as a team. 
  
It is along these lines and out of several years of dealings with God, and ministering to the Body of Christ within and outside Nigeria, that a team of men and women called, convinced and ordained of God, are being brought together one by one, by the Holy Spirit to labour together in the discharge of the vision to teach and build up God's people with the Word; to raise leaders through concerted discipleship; to bring the light of the gospel unto the unreached peoples; to make available sound biblical teachings unto God's people regardless of their culture, language or denominational affiliation, through the print media - Books, journals Tracts etc.; the Electronic media: the radio and Television; Teaching tapes (audio and video); Retreats, Conferences and Training meetings, and other similar Biblical avenues of ministry. 
 Though presently, the team has a base and a secretariat in Gboko called PEACE HOUSE, which houses the central administrative aspects of the work, yet the team is dynamic. It is not necessarily static or localized in one place. There are other members of the team who effectively labour along though they are not specifically located in Gboko, It grows as the Lord calls men and confirms the vision in their spirits, to labour along with us.
