After visiting missionaries in northern Nigeria, Niyo Osomo and his team realized that a lot of missionaries had to leave the field simply from a lack of finances. In 2018, he founded Mission Enablers (ME) to raise funds across denominational lines, working with the Nigeria Evangelical Missions Association (NEMA) to identify those in need.
Mission Enablers was one of the earliest organizations to use high-quality social media to spread the word about God’s mission, utilizing talented young people to create dynamic graphics and online events. ME’s efforts have benefitted missionaries, funding projects like education for missionary kids, and sending short-term teams as far afield as Nepal and Pakistan. They work in training as well.
ME focuses on Northern Nigeria and the rest of Africa, but their very public platforms are a reminder that an engaging, accurate online presence is vital in this day and age to gather resources for funding missions, as well as promote prayer and the recruitment of new missionaries. Their guiding principles are Go, Pray, Fund and Publicize, and the modern approach of this grassroots African organization can be a helpful lesson for all of us striving to advance the Great Commission.
