From the beginning of the Church in Jerusalem to other parts of the world, the message of Jesus Christ and the good news of salvation have spread to all the nooks and crannies of the world. Theologians, Christian historians, Scholars and laymen in Nigeria have written on the missionary propagation of the message of Christ in other churches without little attention paid to Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA).
