O. Abstract: Religio-ethnic violence is a 'monster' which continues to traumatize the nation Nigeria. The Northern part of this country where this writer was born which is predominantly Muslim, has continued to be the hot-bed of violence which is shrouded in the garment of religious and ethnic rivalry. Within the last decade, no other major development has commanded the attention of the media both locally and internationally about Nigeria like the news of the repeated violence unleashed by the Boko Haram (a Hausa phrase meaning Western Education is forbidden or sacrilege) Islamic sect, particularly in Northeastern Nigeria. While using a combination of research method (historical analyses, literature, biblical exposition and participant observations), the study analyzed the precarious situation and recommended to Christians in the affected areas a missiological panacea. Thus, owing to the missionary and pilgrim natures of the church, the paper while alluding to the Bible in Mt. 10: 22-23 and other references, recommends Jesus admonition to 'flee from place to place' during faith related persecutions. It is obvious that opinions will differ among Nigerian Christians on an appropriate response. However, if persecuted Christians will be alive to clamor for justice in order for peace to reign in Nigeria, this study argues that the first missiological response of Christians in keeping with the missionary and pilgrim natures of the Church is to flee from places of life threatening persecution to places where their lives are not threatened due to their faith inclinations.

O.; Ayegboyin, I. D. Abstract: The MFM is a deliverance ministry par ecellence. Over the years, the ministry has continued to call attention to the Africam worldview of evil. To validate the reality of evil in the minds of people, the MFM has mediatised the concept of evil through the several drawings showing the 'faces' of evil on the books and magazines published by the ministry. 'This study which is grounded in qualitative research method employs historical survey, participant observation and review of relevant literature to reflect on the dynamics of the print media in the MFM. The findings indicate that the 'faces' of evil are in all the deliverance books written by Daniel Olukoya, the General Overseer of MFM, and other publications of the group divulge among other things, that the print-media depictions of evil in the minds of her members. This key eature significantly backs up in popularising the MFM as a warfare ministry well-informed of Satan's antics and possessing the 'methodology' of dealing with the malevolence.

O. Abstract: This study examines how Calvary production ministyr (CAPRO), an indigenous missionary organisation raises and administers local resources of personnel, finance, and materials. Among other things, the paper seeks to show that the methods of raising local resources and the issue of prudent resource administration and management in indigenous mission agencies constitute a major factor which enhance not only the sustainability of such groups, but also the growth of their mission activities as demonstrated by CAPRO.
