Jesus came preaching and did not baptize his converts in the river, even Peter who he met in the river but He baptized them with the word power baptism as the word of God, and with fire in order to empower them to do the ministry and at last, enter the kingdom of God. And this is what we are doing in Pilgrims developing our own students into total manhood and sending them out to the nations for the following programs as we also recommend some good measures for governance in various nations.

  1. Training Nationals in Ministry to reach their nations for Christ.
  2. To develop the human and spiritual potentials of our trainees.
  3. To develop Christian Education centers and give them free hand in introducing self-enhancing programs for the employment and benefit of the masses just as it happens in the USA, Canada, and Europe.
  4. To create employment opportunities for the teeming graduates of our tertiary institutions in order to make them responsible citizens after training.
  5. We call on our people to review the pre-independence National Anthem in order to live up to the philosophy of Nation, where though the tongues and tribes may differ but in brotherhood, we stand or make a total change to it.
  6. Creating new and exciting dimensions in ministry and other subject areas with the American blend of education in order to produce self-reliant graduates, and not professional applicants.
  7. Networking our trainees with recognized schools in the USA, Canada, and Africa through our students transfer program; eg. Good Samaritan Theological University, and in Pilgrim Theological Seminary, Aba, and Voice of Liberty Training Schools both in Nigeria as affiliate campuses.
  8. Authenticating African and other nationals with acceptable professorial laurels and doctorate awards thereby enhancing them positionally and professionally.
  9. Infusing the love and fear of God into our trainees thereby making them cult-free graduates and responsible citizens who face the challenges of our time globally, like shock absorbers.
  10. Providing scholarship opportunities for students in Africa just as we shall be convoking some of the beneficiaries through the assistance of Good Samaritan Theological University USA.
