The Club was founded by Pastors Martin &
Funmi Ilesanmi and inaugurated in 1996.
The Projects
The Streets: One
of the Believers’ Club’s first projects in the 90s
was to reach out to prostitutes in a known red light district.
This later included ministering to drug users as well.
Church in the den:
This then led to the ministry establishing a weekly fellowship
in one of the notorious joints (drug users’ den) in Lagos,
a major city in Nigeria. Here, various pastors from different
churches were invited to minister to the drug users.
This led eventually to the successful rehabilitation of some
of them.
Forums:
Alongside this, we started the different Forums in pursuit
of the goal of helping to unite the Body of Christ. These
forums quickly became very popular and were well attended
by Believers who remained committed members of their local
churches.
Today the Forums continue to be a blessing
to many in the UK. These are:
The Believers’
Forum: an interactive gathering discussing socio-political
issues of the day as they affect believers in Christ.
The Family Forum:
A fun interactive programme designed to tackle ticklish
issues amongst married couples in an atmosphere of fun whilst
providing some hard-hitting truths
The Singles’
Forum: looking at the Christian lifestyle from the un-married
Single’s point of view.
