History of the Nigerian Christian Corpers' Fellowship (NCCF)

If you’re reading this, it is likely that you’re a:

• A Prospective Corp Member (popularly known as PCM)
  
• A Corp Member at the NYSC Orientation Camp
• A Corp member who is currently residing in the NCCF Family House

If you’re not any of these, then you’re likely reading out of sheer curiosity, for knowledge sake or research purposes. It is also likely that you're reading this because you have heard one thing or the other about NCCF. 

 

Whichever reason it may be, let me begin by telling you that truly, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Programme means little or nothing without passing through NCCF. In the same way, living in the NCCF family house is incomplete without knowing how it all started. If you know the history and beginning of a thing, you will most likely appreciate NCCF and what she stands for.

I lived in NCCF Ebonyi State House, Abakaliki. I was a part of the 2023/2024 Batch A2 Corp members and while at the house, I served as the State Drama Coordinator. So largely, I had access to certain information that were not readily available to other Jesus Corpers. That said, let's get to the history of the Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF).

The History

In the early days of 1930’s there lived a British missionary. He was a Scottish Evangelist by the name Pa. S. G Elton who resided in Ilesa, Osun State (i.e. southwestern part of Nigeria). He gave the prophecy that a time will come when the Federal Government of Nigeria will pay her youths to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the nooks and crannies of the nation. This prophecy tarried for some time and look like it will not come to pass until between 1967 and 1970, when (Nigeria was hit with civil war) popularly known as Biafra war.

However in 1973, during the regime of General Yakubu Gowon, in a bid to build one united Nigeria he established a scheme known as the NYSC (National Youth Service Corp), this scheme demands that young Nigerian graduates be posted to states other than their state of origin to serve their fatherland in other to foster unity.

NCCF Divine Providence

In 1983 NCCF came into existence. Corp members who are affiliated with the Nigerian Christian Corpers' Fellowship are called “Jesus Corpers”. and we have a slogan which is: Jesus Corpers/NCCF will never die  – one big family. NCCF has her National Headquarters in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. 

The Structure of NCCF

The Nigerian Christian Corpers' Fellowship is structured in a tripartite nature. This simply means NCCF is a "three in one" body. It is a:

1. Fellowship

As a  (Where Christ and not church is preached)

2. Corporate Body

The Nigerian Christian Corpers' Fellowship is a non-denominational and inter-denominational Christian fellowship registered Organisation with the corporate affairs commission, and as a corporate body, NCCF can sue and can be sued but we thank God for since then NCCF has not sued or been sued). As a standard corporate organisation, NCCF is the only Christian body recognised by the NYSC Scheme and allowed right on the NYSC Camp ground.   recognised by NYSC right on camp.

3. Family

As a Family, the NCCF One big family indeed

 

The NCCF Core Mission

Rural Rugged Evangelism

This is an interdenominational Christian Corpers' Fellowship, where all Christians across the federation gather together in unity of faith in course of their 'compulsory one year National Service to the Nation

Our history date back to the year 1930 where the old British-sage Pa S.G Elton (of blessed memory) prophesied that 'a time is coming when the Nigerian government will pay d Nigerian Youth a token to propagate d gospel to the nooks and crannies of d nation-NIGERIA'. 45yrs afterwards (1975),

NYSC came on board, and this birth Christians mitin in their respective orientation camp as one!

At this level,all denominational Christians in every state came together as a unified body) in unity of faith, to serve the Christ they represent and not just the government that employed them.

Read: Biography of Pastor Daniel Olawande (P Daniel)

NCCF is a twin to NYSC and our core-vision in EVANGELISM (RURAL-RUGGED EVANGELISM)

NCCF is not just a service to humanity but a service to God in an interdenominational (christian).

We project the 'unity of the body of Christ than anything'. It is good to note that 'being in NCCF does not stop you from attending  your denominational church. We are only after people not just being denominational minded.

Wherever you are posted to: all things work together for the good of them that love God and have been called according to His purpose, Be not afraid, forget all those stories they've told you! 

NCCF State Chapters Directory

I know you might need help around, so I've attached a directory for locating any NCCF State chapter anywhere you are in the country. The following are the current details to help you access the State Family Houses/Secretariats across the Federation.

THE BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCE

A man named Nicodemus came to Jesus by night. Perhaps he was afraid of criticism or he had a desire for a private conversation, or maybe he wanted to know more before committing himself to Jesus Christ. In any event, he came and asked Jesus some questions. Jesus looked at him and said, “Nicodemus, you need to be born again” (Cf. John 3:5). In fact, He said, “Verily, verily”—and any time Jesus used that expression, He meant that what was to follow was very important. He said, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee … ye must be born again” (John 3:5,7, KJV). Have you been born again? Call it conversion, call it commitment, call it repentance, call it being saved, but has it happened to you? Does Christ live in your heart? Do you know it? Many people have thought a long time about religion and Christianity and yet have never made a commitment.  Are you committed to Jesus Christ? Nicodemus must have been stunned when Jesus said, “You must be born again.” It wouldn’t seem shocking if C

THE FULL EXPRESSION OF THE SPIRIT

Our-God is Multi-dimensional, never has he been limited to a single Dimension, over-time God reveals himself and manifest in our live in unique and greater dimension per-time. The Spirit of God is the working power or Dynamo of God. There are two ways in which a Believer is filled with the Holy Spirit; an Indwelling (within) and him coming upon the Believer. The Spirit is in a Believer when the Believer receives Christ. John  3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?  3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God ........ 1 Corinthians  6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are n

 

How is NCCF Funded?

The Nigerian Christian Corpers' Fellowship generates her funds through four means

• Tithes
• Offerings
• Freewill donation
• Capitation: One out of your 12-month allowances payable while you are still serving. It can be paid in instalment

NCCF is built on three R keys:

Rehabilitation

Reconstruction

Reconciliation

During the orientation camp program, Christian graduates met and fellowship with one another. They then went back to their various states and shared their experience of which to their surprise happened to be the same.

NCCF family house is a home away from home.

NCCF provide accommodation to Corpers who want to stay with them

NCCF provide accommodation to Non-Corpers who need urgent accommodation

NCCF is present in every State in Nigeria, and each State has a zone and Subzone

In NCCF, you will participate in rural rugged evangelism. This is the very reason why NCCF exist. The whole of Jesus Corpers in a particular State meets up in a particular village or town to share the Gospel as well as to give out free medical checkups and relief materials to the community. This exercise lasts for 3 days, and without NCCF, NYSC has little meaning.

NCCF Family Song

NCCF Family Song goes as thus;

I love this family of God
So closely knitted into one
They have taken me into their arms and I'm so glad to be
A part of this great family.

Hand in hands together will stand
I need you to build this family
I need you to always pray for me

Higher and Higher we will go

Stronger and Stronger we will be

Brighter and brighter we will shine

Don’t you know you mean so much to me
Papae, you mean so much to me
Mamae, you mean so much to me
Uncle, you mean so much to me…
[Any Corpers name] you mean so much to me…

NCCF will never die
Halleluyah
We are Serving a Living God
Halleluyah
