EBELLE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION (ECA)

Chairman: Rev. J E Osasebor 08067658384

—The Ebelle Christian Association is in a way related to the Ishan Evangelistic Association since most of the foundational members got their inspiration from such bigger organization. It was an attempt to domesticate the ideas championed by the Ishan Evangelistic Association. Unlike the Ebelle Christian Fellowship, this was more tolerant of denominational biases as non was interested in distorting the belief systems of other denominations. It was a case of “do what you believe; but let us evangelize Ebelle together”.

—Although the organization is for all Christians, it appears that only their leaders were zealous about meeting attendance and cooperate prayers.

—Essentially, it is this association that lent credence to the successes achieved by the Ebelle for Christ Organization since they were the foot soldiers on ground to be relied upon for prayers, rallies and campaigns in the absence of a base for the Lagos end of the Ebelle for Christ.

—Ebelle Christian Association remains a formidable force of Christian cooperation for a cause in Ebelle land. With them, it is always smoother for the Ebelle for Christ Organization to have their crusades and free medical outreaches.

—The association has also made it possible for the Ebelle Christian denominations to be united and frendly with one another as issues of schisms are reduced to the barest minimum. It has also whittled down mutual suspicions and emphasis on doctrinal differences.
