The Nigeria Christian Corpers’ Fellowship is a provision God made in fulfillment of his prophecy given by the well-known British missionary to Nigeria, Pa Sydney Granville Elton in the 1930s the prophecy states that “a time will come when Nigeria will pay her youths to preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in the nooks and crannies of the nation” this prophecy tarried for some years, however in the year 1973, during the regime of the then Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, with a view to the proper encouragement and development of common ties among the youths of Nigeria and the promotion of national unity the National Youth Service Corps scheme was established, Ignorant of the prophecy but under God’s direction, Christian Corp Members were committed to : Prayer, Bible study, Witnessing Christ and Fellowship in all the NYSC orientation camps across the nation and the fellowship continued everywhere these corp members were posted to. 

WHO WE ARE

The Nigeria Christian Corpers’ Fellowship (NCCF) is a body of Christian members who are dedicated to serving God and humanity within their service year, we are a fellowship that accommodates Christian corps members and helps in focusing their relationship with God irrespective of their gender, tribe and denomination. NCCF is an inter-denominational and non-denominational fellowship comprising of Christian corpers cutting across different denominations, we are popularly referred to as JESUS CORPERS.

NCCF as a body is tripartite in nature: first a fellowship (as it started in 1973 at the various orientation camps, where corp members met to pray together, study together, witness Christ and share fellowship with one another), then it became a duly registered and recognized organization (in the year 1990, with the Corporate Affairs Commission in accordance to the Company and Matters Allied Acts, Decree No 1 of 1990, it has a corporate and distinct identity, has structures at National, State and Zonal levels) and it also runs as a family (progressively as corp members were posted to different locations within the states and other corpers from subsequent batches are posted to those locations, divine providence brought them  together and they started to live together as a family and share fellowship)

 

We Are: One Big Family

-          United (One)

The fellowship is all accommodating as it makes room for all Christian Corpers who are genuinely saved through the reason of the washing of the blood of Jesus Christ and have a focused relationship with God, irrespective of their gender, tribe, church affiliation and the like.

 

-          All Over Nigeria (Big)

The fellowship has functional secretariats in all the 36 State of the Federation including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. It is from these secretariats that the activities within each state are being coordinated. Also in a bid to ensure proper spread and effective coordination, the state chapters also have zones and sub-zones under them. Anywhere Christian Corpers are found, you are sure to find NCCF. We operate even in remote places even where there are no churches. In fact, all local government areas are within our reach. There has been no mountain too high or valley too low for us to cross. NCCF has its National Headquarter, located in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria.

 

-      Loved by Our Parents, Appreciated by Senior Friends, Enjoyed by Members  (Family)

The fellowship at the state level maintains a Board of Patrons, who plays an advisory role to the fellowship at that level and at the national level, a board of Trustee - a group of highly respected people in the country who have a close relationship with God, Senior Friends who consistently appreciate God for the privilege of being part of NCCF and so doing supports the fellowship in all ways possible and serving Christian Corp Members who partake and benefit in all the vision of NCCF entails 

OUR VISION

EVANGELISM

-                RURAL OUTREACHES (Rural Rugged Evangelism)

This is when NCCF gets into villages and communities (nooks and crannies as prophesied) with the Gospel of Christ, a lot of spiritual work is done; principalities and powers of darkness are unseated and dislodged. The Gospel is preached in the native language of the people (sometimes using interpreters and films produced in the native language).

During the rural outreach, we organize clean-up exercise, share clothing and foot wears, bath the children, make the children and women's hair, administer free Medical services (with the aid of a team of medical and paramedical specialists), and even administer drugs/vaccines to animals

-                URBAN OUTREACHES (Urban Rugged Evangelism)

Schools, Remand Homes, Prisons and Hospitals Outreaches

We also maintains a constant (weekly) ministry to the prisons, orphanage, less privileged homes and hospitals to ensure that those staying in such places are reached with the love and care necessary to reach them for God. We are also involved in neighborhood and market evangelism.

 

DISCIPLESHIP AND FELLOWSHIP
