The Christian community in Plateau State is gearing up for what organizers describe as one of the most impactful evangelical gatherings in recent years, as Take The Nations (TTN), in partnership with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Plateau State Chapter, has officially unveiled plans for the Jos Jesus Crusade slated for December 17–21, 2025.

The announcement came during a press conference held on Monday, November 24, 2025, at St. John’s College, Jos. Evangelist Joshua Mape, Secretary of the Central Planning Committee, delivered the briefing on behalf of the organizers.

According to the planning team, the crusade will run daily from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., with free admission for all attendees.

A Landmark Spiritual Gathering

Organizers describe the Jos Jesus Crusade as a divine mandate focused on soul-winning, strengthening church unity, and igniting spiritual transformation across Plateau State. Churches from various denominations are collaborating to host the event, which is expected to attract thousands of worshippers.

The five-day crusade will feature a lineup of renowned gospel ministers, including popular artist Mallam Razphil, with additional ministers to be announced. Each session will include energetic praise, worship, and opportunities for personal encounters with God.

Evangelist Daniel Du Toit to Lead the Crusade

Evangelist Daniel Du Toit, founder of Take The Nations—with bases in South Africa and the United States—will lead the event. A protégé of the late Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, Du Toit has ministered in more than 27 countries, with a strong focus on evangelism, healing, and spiritual renewal.

After praying for Nigeria for five years, Du Toit held his first crusade in Offa, Kwara State, in 2024, followed by major crusades in Ede and Ile-Ife in 2025. His ministry began its northern outreach this year with mass crusades in Kaduna before turning attention to Jos.

Organizers say they anticipate the same move of God witnessed in previous cities—characterized by testimonies of healings and miracles—to be replicated in Jos.

Previous Testimonies from Take The Nations Crusades

Past crusades conducted by TTN have recorded testimonies including:

Restoration of sight to the blind
The lame walking
The dead raised
Creative miracles, such as a child receiving new teeth

The Jos Jesus Crusade is expected to usher in a fresh wave of healing, deliverance, breakthroughs, and mass salvation, with many describing it as potentially the largest evangelical gathering in Jos since Reinhard Bonnke’s historic outreaches.

Build-Up Activities Begin

In preparation for the crusade, several mobilization and spiritual build-up events have been scheduled, including:

Women’s Conference – December 13
Ministers’ Conference – December 18–20
Daily publicity rallies across Jos
Jesus Marches – December 10 and December 17

These activities are aimed at mobilizing churches and preparing the spiritual atmosphere ahead of the main event.

CAN Calls for Statewide Participation

Representing the CAN Chairman, Rev. Dr. Dunka Gomwalk, the Secretary of CAN Plateau State, Pastor Julius Arabo, urged Christians across the state to participate fully. He emphasized that the crusade presents a significant opportunity for a collective move of God in Plateau.

Arabo extended the invitation beyond church members, encouraging all residents of Plateau State and beyond to attend with faith and expectation.

Crusade Details

Date: December 17–21, 2025
Time: 3:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. daily
Venue: To be announced
Admission: Free

Organizers say the Jos Jesus Crusade will be a defining spiritual moment for the city, bringing healing, revival, and renewed hope to individuals and communities.

“Come believing. Come expecting. Jesus will meet you there,” the statement added.

Royals, Leaders Unite To Strengthen, Sustain Nigeria’s Security

Traditional rulers, religious leaders, security chiefs and policymakers on Friday came together to find ways of building a stronger, more inclusive and sustainable security framework.

They came together at the maiden National Citizens Stakeholders’ Engagement organised by the Project 774 Network in Abuja.

The event had its theme, “Our Security, Our Duty: Citizens Standing with Our Troops to End Terrorism, Banditry and Kidnapping.”

The stakeholders all agreed that lasting peace in Nigeria required moving beyond crisis response to fixing its root causes.

The Convener of Project 774, Mohammed Ibrahim, said that the core beauty of the project lies in its ability to bring all sides together.

“Wherever you find a gap between leaders and citizens, the only thing to do is unite both sides for a common cause. I am happy we have people with a genuine desire to take this country forward as one,” he said.

Drawing from experience, he recalled how commitment to nationhood went beyond official titles.

“You do not need to be a governor, minister or ambassador to serve this nation.

“All you need is the heart of one who loves Nigeria, and the will to act from wherever you stand,’’ he said.

He highlighted Nigeria’s immense potential, saying Nigeria is one of the greatest countries in the world.

According to him, it is the only nation where the land holds wealth that can fund all we need.

“We have the resources; what we need now is the unity and will to channel them toward solutions that lift every citizen,’’ he said.

Chief Convener, the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, said that the name “774” stands for the nation’s total number of local government areas.

Sanusi said the summit moved beyond reacting to crises to building lasting systems where every Nigerian contributes to peace.

The traditional leader also decried a widening class divide and fading sense of shared citizenship.

“Security works best when it belongs to everyone. We have become a highly divided society where a small wealthy minority lives in exclusive estates, cut off from the struggles of the majority.

“We have forgotten that every blessing is meant to be shared, and that prosperity should reach down to the most vulnerable,” he said.

He further highlighted drug abuse as a silent driver of violence.

“Many of those carrying out these atrocities are not in their right minds; they are under the influence of hard drugs.

“Insecurity anywhere is a threat to everyone everywhere. We must share information with security agencies, rebuild moral values in our communities, and work together to reclaim our nation,’’ he said.

Guest Speaker, Professor Sunday Lugard of the Faculty of Law, University of Jos, said that sustainable security thrived on partnership.

Lugard recalled how security experts had long foreseen the dangers facing the nation and called for a fundamental shift towards a citizen-centric approach to security governance.

“Laws and operations are important, but trust and active participation make them work.

“When communities stand with their troops, we close gaps that criminals exploit,” he said.

He urged delegates to use the summit to design clear, safe systems for communities to feed intelligence to police, military and the judiciary, and to ensure that every citizen can contribute without fear.

“Security is not just what the government does for us; it is what we build together, from the village up to the centre,” he said.

He also emphasised the need to deploy indigenous security services.

“Our people trust us. We will use that standing to foster cooperation, promote peace and ensure that every community becomes a partner in protecting our nation,” he said. (NAN)
