BTH’s Substack

Back to the Basics

BTH Global — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 15:32:48 GMT

Dear Sibling,

Did we really go from January to October in what feels like an instant?

Somehow, we blinked and we’re already in the final quarter of the year.

You know you don’t have to finish the year tired right?

For many people, this is the point where the excitement of the year has worn off and it feels like a normal thing. We even jokingly say, 'I can't wait for next month,' or 'next year,' or any fresh start just to feel better.

And that is because somehow, we want something external to shake us out of our limbo. Something that makes us feel like we can start again.

But what if you don’t need to wait for something new to happen before you experience renewal?

It’s okay if you’ve found yourself tired, discouraged, or simply going through the motions. But as believers, we have a different reality to hold on to.

“The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”
Proverbs 4:18

Our journey with God is not defined by cycles of starting over. We are being transformed, growing, and moving forward with Him.

You don’t have to finish the year by running on empty.

Scripture reminds us that God crowns the year with His goodness (Psalm 65:11), and that better is the end of a thing than its beginning (Ecclesiastes 7:8). So even if the year hasn’t looked the way you imagined, there is still reason to hope.

Maybe what we need in this season is a pause. An opportunity to reset, find rest in God, and remember what is true. Remind ourselves of the Fundamentals of our Faith.

Back to the Basics

Sometimes, all we need is just to remember what has always been true.

The Christian life can become so familiar that we sometimes forget the very truths that should keep us grounded.

We forget that salvation is by grace.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.”
Ephesians 2:8

We forget that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again, the very foundation of the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

We forget that we’re called to love Him first. In Revelation 2:4-5, Jesus calls His people to remember, repent, and return to their first love.

And we can forget that the life we live with God began with something we could never earn for ourselves. Grace.

It is easy to begin by grace and then slowly start trying to sustain ourselves by our own strength. We receive salvation as a gift, but then live as though everything depends on our performance. But it doesn’t.

Our work flows from His finished work, not the other way around.

That is why going back to the basics isn’t going backwards. It is returning to the foundation.

Rest and Reset.

It is from resting and resetting that we find the strength and grace to live a life that reflects what He has already done.

We don’t rest because we’ve finished everything.

We rest because He already finished the work.

So, as we step into the final quarter, the invitation is to lean deeper.

To pray again.
To open the Word again.
To fellowship again.
To give thanks again.
To remember the Gospel again.

We’ve prepared a Bible Plan to accompany us through the month. Think of it not as another thing to accomplish, but as an opportunity to slow down and spend time with God, to revisit the truths we know and allow them to anchor us again.

Join the Bible Plan here.

As you go through it, ask yourself:

What have I allowed to crowd out the basics?
Where am I striving in my own strength when I should be resting in His?
What is one simple, foundational practice I can return to?

Our prayer for you this month is that you will be refreshed, refocused, and rooted afresh in Christ, that you find rest where you have been striving, grace where you have been trying to earn, and strength for the journey ahead.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO REST

Recently, we had our Retreat in Abuja, and one of the things a sibling shared about it was that they just wanted to rest and it gave them the chance to do just that.

Honestly, that’s exactly what we need, an opportunity to just be and breathe.

So, this November, we’re creating that space again. BTH Retreats are coming to Lagos and Port Harcourt.

This will be an opportunity to intentionally disconnect from the noise, to step away from the pace of everyday life, reconnect with God and with one another, and give yourself permission to rest.

In many cases, this is exactly what we need to return with clarity, renewed strength and a heart that is ready to keep going.

So, if you’ve been feeling weary, this is your invitation.

Come rest with us.

Lagos and Port Harcourt, we’ll see you in November.

More details coming soon.

💻 GLOBAL VIRTUAL HANGOUTS

The Inter-House Sports banter isn’t over just yet! 👀

And of course, there’s one question we need answered:

Who is the overall Inter-House Sports Champion? 🏆

Will the House Captains settle the debate once and for all, or will they give us even more reasons to argue? 😂

Come with your banter. Come ready to defend your House!

BTH is 5 🥳❤️

BTH Global — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 16:58:34 GMT

Today, we are 5.

And honestly, we have spent some time wondering: what did we even know that we were doing? 😂

We look back at the beginning, at the gatherings, the prayers, the ideas, the uncertainty, and the many moments when we simply took the next step without knowing exactly where it would lead.

And five years later, one thing is clear: God has been faithful.

So today, before we talk about everything BTH has become, we want to remember everything God has done.

WE REMEMBER WHEN...

We struggled to find venues.

There were countless times we wondered where the next hangout would hold. We searched, called, negotiated, improvised, and sometimes wondered if we would ever get to the point where securing a venue would no longer be one of our biggest concerns.

Today, we can deposit for event spaces ahead of time. That may sound like a small thing, but we know what it took to get here.

We remember.

We remember moving from one city to another.

Lagos. Abuja. Ibadan. Port Harcourt. Enugu. Ghana. Canada. Europe.

At the beginning of 2026, our word was AUDACIOUS.

We didn’t know exactly what the year would look like, but looking back now, we can see the word unfolding before our eyes.

God has strengthened us to go further.

To gather more, build more, believe for more. And to take BTH from one city to another.

Last year’s anniversary word was SHIFT.

And what a shift it has been.

From where we were to where we are now, we can only say: Look what the Lord has done.

Before the growing workforce, before there were retreats, there were prayers.

Before siblings started travelling from different cities and countries to gather with us, there were prayers.

Before BTH became the family that many of us now know it to be, there were people quietly praying and believing God for something they couldn’t fully explain yet.

And God answered.

Our workforce began to grow, people began to serve and many began to take ownership.

And then our siblings started travelling one after another — to different cities, different countries.

We started joking that if you wanted to travel, you should join the BTH workforce. 😂

But underneath the joke was something profound.

God was building a family that could not be confined to one location.

WE REMEMBER FAMILY

BTH has given us more than events, it has given us people.

People who became friends.

Friends who became siblings.

Siblings who became family.

We have watched people find community, build relationships, serve together, pray together, laugh together, travel together and grow together. As if that wasn’t wild enough, we have people getting married and having children!

We will never get used to these things.

WE REMEMBER OUR VIRTUAL HANGOUTS

We started our Virtual Hangouts, and distance stopped being a limitation.

We found ways to remain connected even when we couldn’t physically be together.

And somehow, this family kept growing.

WE REMEMBER THE MERCH

A year ago, we launched the BTH Merch line.

It started as another idea.

But it became another avenue through which the BTH family could participate in something bigger.

Through the merch, we have been able to give towards the cause of the Gospel.

It reminded us that even the things we create, wear and carry can become instruments for something greater.

And that is something we are grateful for.

WE REMEMBER THE TIMES WE GOT TIRED

Because the story has not always been easy.

There were times we were tired, when we wondered how much longer we could keep going. The work indeed felt bigger than our strength. But every time we thought we had reached the end of ourselves, God strengthened us again. He remained faithful.

And we think that after 5 years, we can all agree that BTH has never been sustained by our strength alone.

It has all been by the hand and help of God

FIVE YEARS LATER, WE REMEMBER

We remember everything.

And as we celebrate five years of BTH today, our hearts are full because we know that this story is bigger than us.

Five years ago, we could not have imagined all of this.

Today, we stand here with gratitude because we have seen enough to know that God is faithful.

Five years down.

Many more years to go.

And if the first five years have taught us anything, it is this:

When God gives the strength, keep going.

Happy 5th Anniversary, BTH. ❤️

WE REMEMBER.
WE ARE GRATEFUL.
WE ARE STILL BUILDING.

What do you mean "Thus sayeth the Lord?"

BTH Global — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 08:51:35 GMT

Hey Sibling,

Thus sayeth the Lord to you…

Don’t mind me please, but mind me as well. Earlier in my Christian walk I really struggled with prophecy. I honestly couldn’t wrap my head around it.. What do you mean God said something will happen in my life? How do you know? How did you see it?

Let’s now talk about waiting for it to happen. First of all, I was on my own and “God said”, now I’m here waiting for when it’ll happen. Would it be in 2 years or 2 months?

What if we could shift our focus for a little..Stay with me, I’m going somewhere

What if the anxiety of the waiting season reveals something much deeper in our hearts. That maybe we do not truly trust that God will do it.

I know that’s a big bomb to just drop.

The Almighty-ness of God may not be hard to accept. We can look at all of creation that testifies, we can see the working of miracles that prove God’s supremacy. It’s one thing to know that God is able to and yet another to wonder if He will. And I think this is a reality that many of us struggle with, myself included.

But here’s the thing, Numbers 23:19 lets us know something very important about the nature of God. It says that, “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

This, my dear friend, is the foundation of everything. Not the bread you’ve been expecting for three years now, not the manifestation of the vision you received in university, but in the one who has promised. What if we could fix our gaze instead on God. See, it’s very easy for a promise to become an idol and maybe that’s the beauty of a “waiting season” which now that I think about it, I have a problem with that term. Because a lot of times we do not wait in assurance but in anxiety and uncertainty. But the beauty of such periods is what happens in your heart. God wouldn’t give His will to a version of you that is unable to handle it. So you’ll go through as many deaths to self as you need to, so that things can work together for your good.

It’s also easy to forget that you were indeed on your own and ‘God said”. Do we think God doesn’t have anything better to do? This is the creator of the entire universe revealing His heart and will to you and that should mean something, that should be for a reason. I’ve learnt that God is more interested in the fulfillment of a promise than we are. If anything it’s such a privilege to be able to know the will of God, the awareness that the King of Glory is willing to share such things with us.

It’s also funny because you didn’t even know those were possibilities in your life until it was revealed. As christians, our lives are indeed made by prophecy. Jesus and the free gift of salvation we enjoy was prophesied about.

If there’s any prophecy over your life, which I’m sure there is, being a part of BTH and reading this already means you are a part of the prophecy on this house. I’d like you to do one thing for the rest of this year, I want you to fix your gaze on “God”. Take that uncertainty, your unbelief, worry and lay it at His feet.

Because you’ll look back one day and realize that God did not just say, God did as promised.

JULY PRAYERS

Since the beginning of the month of July, we’ve been meeting on Google Meet to pray everyday for 15 minutes by 10pm WAT. This will continue till July 31st, and we’ll love for you to be a part of it.

Here’s the link to always join in with.

BTH MERCH CAMPAIGN

Have you ever wondered what happens beyond the headlines?

Recent attacks in Nigeria have left many of our siblings displaced. Christian families who have either lost their homes or loved ones. While the headlines may have moved on, the need remains. We heard from our partners regarding 65 recently displaced families and we refuse to let our response end where the headlines do.

Through this campaign we’re asking you to join hands with us, to be a part of something bigger. We’re inviting you to move beyond awareness and take action by supporting relief efforts for displaced christians.

If 100 people said yes, that’s more than 5 bags of rice and many more provisions for these families. Just imagine if we all did something small.

From now until the 31st of August, enjoy up to 15% off selected items from our merch collection. The hashtag remains the same;

Wear Jesus. Sponsor the Gospel.

Thank you for partnering with us to make Christ known.

Here's the link to get yours.

JULY WITH BTH Global

This month we’re saying yes to more spaces for christians to fellowship, have fun and create lifelong friendships!

Last year, our BTH Inter House Sports started in the city of Abuja, with over 100 siblings in attendance. This year it’s 3 cities and an estimated audience of 500 christian youths from all over Nigeria.

This is more than a game, it’s our worship. If you abandoned your 2026 fitness goals, this is your sign to wake them up. No excuses 🤫.

ONE BODY. FOUR HOUSES

May the best house claim the bragging rights! 🏆

Lagos (July 25th) - Get your tickets here.

The Father of Lights

BTH Global — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 11:14:46 GMT

One of the most humbling realizations a believer can have is that it is possible to live an entire lifetime and still leave something on the table.

Imagine arriving in eternity only to discover that there were dimensions of wisdom, influence, creativity, solutions, and impact that God had prepared for you, but you never accessed them.

Not because He withheld them.

Not because you were incapable.

But because you never asked, sought, or positioned yourself to receive them.

The Bible tells us that “the secret things belong to the Lord our God” (Deuteronomy 29:29). Yet Scripture also reveals a God who delights in unveiling mysteries to His children.

In every industry, sphere of influence, ministry, and assignment, there are hidden truths waiting to be discovered. There are solutions to problems, innovative ideas, and divine strategies that can only be accessed through partnership with God.

James tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights. Think about that for a moment. God is not merely surrounded by light; He is its source. Light represents revelation, understanding, direction, and clarity. He sits above every mystery and every unanswered question.

Even more amazing is this: we have received His Spirit.

The Apostle Paul writes, “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God” (1 Corinthians 2:12).

God has not left us to figure life out on our own.

He has given us His Spirit so that we can know.

Know His will.

Know His heart.

Know His wisdom.

Know the things He has already made available to us.

Yet many of us live beneath our divine possibilities because we neglect one of the greatest privileges we have—the place of prayer and communion with God.

How often do we face challenges armed only with our intellect when heaven is inviting us into revelation?

How often do we settle for assumptions when God offers insight?

The book of Daniel chapter 2 reveals this to us, the King had a dream he forgot and asked for anyone who could reveal it as well as the interpretation.

What was Daniel’s response?

He and his friends sought the face of God and you know what followed? The Lord revealed it to him in a night vision (Dan 2:19).

How often do we search everywhere else for answers before approaching the One who knows all things?

This month, may we become people who seek God intentionally. May we refuse to live on the surface when there are deeper waters available. May we cultivate a hunger for divine wisdom and a desire to discover all that God has prepared for us.

There is more available than you know.

There is more grace than you have experienced.

There is more wisdom than you have accessed.

There is more of God than you have encountered.

The question is: will you pursue it?

Prayer

Father, thank You for giving us Your Spirit and inviting us into deeper fellowship with You. Open our eyes to see what You have freely given us. Teach us to seek You diligently and to receive the wisdom, revelation, and direction You have prepared for us. May we not leave this earth having underutilized the gifts, opportunities, and assignments You entrusted to us. Help us to walk fully in all that You have called us to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

small things become....BIG THINGS

BTH Global — Wed, 06 May 2026 15:30:15 GMT

Dear Sibling,

I don’t know if you’ve been asked this but, “How are you truly?” and before you continue, I would like you to take a moment to think of three things you are grateful for. Try to be as specific as possible.

Welcome back! Now I’ll ask again, “How are you truly?” Did you notice your perspective has shifted significantly. That’s what a heart full of gratitude does for you. It changes the lens through which you look at life. You don’t wake up thinking the world is up against you when you choose to be thankful. You don’t hold on bitterly to the 5 things you believe God hasn’t done for you for when you remember the 99 unprayed answers you’ve received. When you are mindful of the way God came through for you just yesterday.

Allow me to officially welcome you to the month of MAY, the fifth month of the year. This year the number 5 is quite special to us. BTH turns 5 in September. I know right, it still amazes me that something which started as a random desire to hangout with siblings has turned into a move building Jesus communities around the world and uniting the body of Christ. It sounds like such a big vision, Uniting the Global body of Christ through fun. No veil of denomination, no barrier of language or culture, no limitation of distance. Just one unifying person, Jesus.

May feels very dense, it’s no surprise that the rainy season has begun. The skies are heavy and crying out loud. It would do you much good to be sensitive this month. You don’t want to be like Jacob in Genesis 28:16 when he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” Instead you want to be sensitive. Here are a few ways I believe you can do so this month of May. Pick any 3 or all;

Every week have a “No phone day” or some extensive hours. (Switch it off, go on a walk without it)
Fast: Pick a day each week or go all-month long
Pick a book of the Bible to read
Listen to at least one sermon each week (listen more than once)
Fellowship with a group of believers (we happily come in here)
Don’t miss church services (mid-week services inclusive)

Believers from all over the world and across different cities are choosing to seek the Lord’s face and will this May. As prompted by the Lord, we’ll be going on a global fast Thursday 7th May.

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jer 29:13

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

We will be praying together to break the fast by 6pm on Google Meet, here’s the link to join.

THE UTTERANCE FOR MAY

Take these as declarations and confessions

This month small things become big things. I take large strides. I do something small but it is magnified. My works and steps are magnified. The Lord has made room for me and caused me to increase in capacity.

We don’t joke with the words we receive as a people each month. Last month the Lord said REMEMBRANCE and I personally got a shocking testimony of remembrance. I encourage you to have a heart that trusts in the Lord.

BTH MERCH CLEARANCE SALE

The Word - Jesus

BTH Global — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 09:51:38 GMT

Dear Sibling

Nothing about our lives and affairs are ordinary. I want you to know that.

I’ve sat behind this keyboard for days, trying to know what God’s thought to you is in this month and season. At BTH we know enough to say that every single thing we do is orchestrated by God and as such, I didn’t want this letter to just be what I wanted. We call it a love letter, it also means it’s a monthly letter from Love (God) to you.

So, I asked Abba, what is Your love message to Your love children.

He led me to John 17:17 and this was the prayer of Jesus to His disciples and us by extension. “Sanctify by Your truth. Your word is truth” I promise you that I wasn’t trying to be deep, I have just learnt that overtime the English language is usually insufficient in certain interpretations so I went to check for the Greek word and it was Hagiazo and it means to be set apart so it means that when we spend time in and with the word, it is a means of sanctification. The word of God in us helps us live set apart lives.

Hold my cup, I’m not done.

I read the book of James today and 1:18 immediately jumped out at me. I promise you that I wasn’t trying to make a connections because this was even days after. James 1:18 says, Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures” and you know that firstfruits are set apart to us.

In essence, we were brought forth by God’s word to be set apart to Him (James 1:18) and even in the world, the means by which we continually separate ourselves to Him is by the word (John 17:17).

Now that you know this, God told us that 2026 is our year of Audacity. It is the word we received, and we know better than to doubt because we know what Isaiah says in Isaiah 55:11 (open your Bible for this 😉).

That word in itself is supposed to mark everything we do this year, regardless of situations that might be thrown at us. My job here is just to bring the word back to your consciousness. God’s word is our anchor. And for many people Audacity might mean different things.

To you might mean starting that business again
To another, it might mean doing something you have never done before
It might mean taking on more than you have previously done
It might mean finally preaching Christ to that family member

Whatever category it is you’re in, I hope you’re doing it conscious of the word we received. I hope the mindset towards everything is in line with who God has called you because as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. God has called you Audacious, you must agree with it and do everything in line of that reality.

On that note, keep being Audacious, dear Sibling.

RECAP

At this point, you might think I like amebo, but honestly😭, I just want to give you updates and as long as you continue reading, I’ll consistently give you the tea 😂.

Anyways, some siblings went all the way to Togo and Ghana to spend Easter and the rest of us have been begging them for video and picture updates. Based on the few we have seen, the really had a great time and there were so many beauties in attendance. I’m also of the opinion that the sky in Togo and Ghana is different😭 maybe it’s FOMO sha.

Still on the Easter bit, our Lagos Siblings also attended Aramanda Festival. Let’s just say you have no choice but to dance when you’re at an Afro Gospel Festival. It was a really beautiful and fun time. At least there’s no FOMO here for me.

Our Ibadan Siblings had a hangout and did an entire vlog in French? Somebody sign me up for french classes ASAP! I especially love and enjoy that while we’re all one, our diversity and individuality isn’t being overshadowed.

Speaking of Port Harcourt, our no-longer-last-born siblings had a Sunday Brunch and I am really impressed with the large turn out of guys! At some point, we started thinking there were no guys in PH 😂(just kidding).

I’m sure our Abuja Siblings can still hear the sound of their laughter during the bus ride to Suleja Dam. I heard they had a great time, even though only the driver knew the road😂. But who else is supposed to know if not the driver? 💁‍♀️

Uche of BTH (our Global Virtual Hangout host) has two questions for you.

Have you attended a Virtual Hangout before?
Do you know how often we hold these Hangouts?

If you haven’t my next question is why? The Hangouts also hold bi-monthly. We had the last one on the 5th, so the next one is on the 19th.

APRIL 2026 WITH BTH GLOBAL

What an exciting month April is.

ABUJA

I heard our Siblings in Abuja went to eat three goats this month. Ehhhhh 🐐.

Somebody book a flight for me abeg, I’ll think about the consequences after 😭. If you’re in Abuja and would love to be a part of the BTH Abuja group chat (because that’s where all the tea is at), please send us a dm on Instagram.

LAGOS

When I hear of La Campagne Tropicana all I can think of is this game we play at parties where we’re asked to say some words in 2x multiple times. Those tongue twisters😂. If you doubt me, try saying La Campagne Tropicana in 2X five times.

Anyways, on the 1st of May, our Lagos Family will be having a full day at La Campagne Tropicana resort. I don’t know about you o but I’m sat for this one!

Before then, we’re also having a Sunday Brunch on the 19th of April. We’re going to be having fun, how about you?

🎟️ Get all your tickets here.

BTH TOURS

There are trips and there are BTH trips. This Easter, we had such a great time in Togo and Ghana that we want to go on another trip with you.

This time, it’ll be a 4-day trip to Benin Republic.

Send a dm to Bthtours on IG. We have just a few slots left.

Our Audacious Year

BTH Global — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 15:54:44 GMT

Hey Sibling,

It’s been such a long time and yet not that long. Is it just me or the year is doing the more you look, the less you see. What do you mean it’s March already? At times like this I thank God for God. What a delight it is for us believers, how comforting it is to know that we do not have to do life alone. That even when we don’t see the full picture, we have God and that is enough assurance for us.

Last year was our Year of Discipleship. We grew deeper roots, spread as a family and increased as a team. In other words, we multiplied as the Lord told us. It reflected in everything even our collection being called “The Disciple collection”. With shaky hands and hearts full of faith we attempted to walk new grounds. I wish we could tell you it was all roses.

I for one, the Lord asked me to move to Abuja. I bawled my eyes out but one thing that convicted me, was the BTH vision I had sold to many people. What if my disobedience and lack of trust stopped all our siblings who had followed BTH from seeing the fulfilment of prophecies over this house. I couldn’t bear the weight of that burden. It made me so thankful for the spread of BTH.

BTH Abuja became a family I could do life with in this new city.

That wasn’t all the tears. Our first attempt at an excursion was almost a disaster, oh my days we wept and asked God if we should have just respected our small roots. We’re glad we did not. We went again and again and the memories that were created is something we can never forget. In Jesus name we will finally get that BTH Coaster bus this year. Many more adventures loading, don’t be a stranger okay. Join us!

As if that was not all, we attempted more things. I’m sure you’re like, again?? Well this one was a seed we had conceived for years. We’ve always envisioned siblings all over the world wearing the BTH Merch. Someone traveling to France and bumping into another wearing the BTH cap. Entering an event and immediately spotting a sibling in the crowd. It is deeply rooted in identity for us and you can call us “Joseph the dreamer” at this point. We launched the BTH Merch Line!! I can’t explain how my heart feels everytime I see someone wearing one of our pieces. Our pieces are also very very prophetic(wear it for your next important appointment 😉).

Incase you didn’t know..proceeds from our Merch brand goes towards sponsoring the gospel. Last year alone, we were able to give over a million naira to the school fees of students, to relief agencies in the north, to christian missions and projects. We sponsored Jesus while looking cool.

This love letter is getting long and I haven’t even welcomed you to our Audacious year! I guess I shouldn’t have taken this long to write to you.

March feels like the beginning of a new dawn. I can’t explain but it smells like renewed hope. It feels like the right moment to begin again, to dig another well. Maybe Rehoboth is just at the next corner.

So much to say, I definitely have to write to you again. What do you say about that?

For now, I leave you with upcoming BTH hangouts and trips I’d absolutely love to see you at.

MARCH 2026 WITH BTH Global HIGHLIGHTS FROM PREVIOUS MONTHS

#Peeps to see if Mimi has gone

Hey fambam, Odunayo of BTH here. My job today is to give you a breakdown of our activities for March 2026, but I thought to myself, “why not first let you in on some of our BTH activities since we last wrote to you?”

Our siblings in Lagos and Ibadan went on a road trip to Ado-Awaye in November. Even though I wasn’t able to make it there personally, the reviews don’t lie.

You know those one-off trips you take just for the experience? This was exactly that.

And the siblings who missed gym days throughout 2025? Let’s just say they paid all their dues during this single hangout.

No need to thank me, I was just doing the Lord’s work.

I’ve also been itching to say this: last December, for the first time ever, we had our Thanksgiving Party in not just one, but four cities.

Over the years, we’ve only successfully done this in Lagos, but by the grace of God, we pulled it off across all our BTH cities. And not just that — we had a customized BTH Global Adire!

If you ask the city leads, the behind-the-scenes was no walk in the park. If anything, it was truly exhausting. But we’re grateful we were able to pull it off, and everyone had an amazing time.

What a way to end our Year of Discipleship.

We also have a new addition to the familyyyy.
#proceeds to do a little happy dance#

Did somebody say Enugu? Yes!

We had our first-ever Hangout in the city of Enugu in February, and oh boy, that city has indeed been waiting for us. They definitely brought that last-born energy… but a little birdie told me they won’t be the last for long.

Now that I’ve given you all the juicy updates you might have missed, let’s go through our events for the month of March.

ABUJA

First up on our March calendar…

If you’re in the city of Abuja and you like the idea of exploring new places, meeting people, sharing food, laughing with believers? Then you cannot afford to miss this Excursion to Suleja Dam.

It’s also a potluck, so get your tickets with this link.

LAGOS & PORT HARCOURT

Our siblings in Lagos and Port Harcourt will be having a Brunch on the 29th of March.

It’ll be a relaxed time of food, fellowship, laughter, and of course the usual BTH energy we bring to every gathering. Think good conversations, catching up with familiar faces, and welcoming new ones into the family.

If you’ve been looking for the perfect opportunity to connect with the siblings in your city, this is definitely one you don’t want to miss.

So go ahead and mark your calendars.

IBADAN

Meanwhile, our siblings in Ibadan have decided that sitting down quietly is not exactly what they want.

They’ll be heading out to Olumo Rock for an adventure. Yes, you heard right — a full-on climb.

So if you’ve been looking for a sign to stretch those legs, touch some grass, and take in some breathtaking views while bonding with the siblings, this might just be it.

Who knows? You might even discover muscles you didn’t know you had.

BTH TOURS

And because BTH doesn’t do things halfway… we’re also taking things across the borders this Easter.

Yes, you heard that right.

We’ll be having an Easter Trip to Ghana and Togo for siblings, and it’s going to be a 7-day adventure.

Think beautiful sights, new experiences, long road conversations, lots of laughter, Bible study and of course the unmistakable BTH sibling energy in two new countries.

The plan is simple: travel together, explore together, eat good food, prayyyy, take plenty of pictures, and create memories that will definitely last longer than the trip itself.

So if you’ve been itching for a little adventure, this might just be your sign.

We have just 2 more slots, so if this sounds like you, send us a dm here.

💻 GLOBAL VIRTUAL HANGOUTS

If you’re not in any of these cities or you may not be able to make it to the physical hangouts, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered.

Hold Hands with Us

BTH Global — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 16:39:08 GMT

Hey Sibling,

Like I fondly call you. Every time I think of you and every one of our many siblings scattered around the world, my heart bursts with joy and gratitude. I thank God for you always, I thank God for how far He has brought you and I, the testimonies I’ve seen, the many friends and life-mates I’ve met through BTH. I want you to know that you matter to me and I care about you.

On such a special day as today, I though it just right that I personally write you this letter. Just so you know this is Mimi Okigbo, “Mimi of nations”, as I am fondly called by some of our siblings. If you had asked me on this day four years ago if I’ll be here doing this I’d have answered heck no. I never set out to build a community or spread to more than 3 continents in four years or a reach we may never know in its fullness. I honestly just wanted to have a quiet lunch date with 9 other Christians who sent me a DM on IG after seeing my story post.

I genuinely hope you understand what it means to be of BTH, when we call ourselves Mimi of BTH or siblings. We’re part of something bigger, it’s an identity, a household, a culture, a people, a representation of the body of Christ. It’s a name that carries weight, an identity tag that’ll carry you into rooms that matter. A name that shows that truly in our midst the veils of denomination can be torn down, that what we see in one another is family. If someone asks you your name again, make sure to include “of BTH” at the end okay. It carries grace!

God has created this unconventional yet holy place for His children to gather and have so muchhhh fun. We get to laugh a lot, rest, refresh, meet other siblings, be seen, known by others, then receive strength for the journey of purpose and destiny. That’s why our anchor scripture is Hebrews Ch.10 vs.24-25.

I see you, I appreciate you and I love you.

Congratulations!

Yes congratulations to you too. As we turn 4 today and step into our fifth year what I hear is THE SHIFT. We can truly sense this is the least we would ever ever ever be and we are inviting you to journey with us, to get on this moving train now. Be it by attending our hangouts in your city, traveling with us, partnering with us to see BTH spread to more cities and countries, wearing our merch '‘yesss BTH now has merch that we’re actually pre-launching today” or just even praying for us and making monthly donations like some of you have graciously done for months and years.

This Merch has been an idea we’ve nurtured since our Year 1 and finally it’s coming to life. We envision children of God all over the world wearing it as an identity tag, showing their belonging to a greater and bigger family. This Brand is for us, it’s for the body of Christ. By choosing to wear Jesus and BTH, you are sponsoring the gospel. The profits from this would be directly sponsoring missionaries, missions and Christian projects. You get to look good while putting your money where it truly matters! In the Kingdom!

I invite you to celebrate this milestone with us. I’ll also get to meet you in person and give you one of my warm hugs. It’s my favorite thing to do. We’ll be having a joint Merch Launch Party and Anniversary celebration on the 20th of September, add it to your calendar.

It’s holding in Lagos and although it’s absolutely free, your ID to enter is your BTH Global Merchhh.

Again my dearest sibling, join us, hold our hands. We’re stronger when we do this with you.

Your sibling in Christ,

Mimi of BTH.

As a man thinketh

BTH Global — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 14:52:16 GMT

Dear Sibling,

Do you believe what God says about you? If you do, do you act on it?

It’s one thing to hear God’s word concerning you. It’s another to let it shape your identity, your decisions, and your future.

Let’s look at this story.

Once upon a time, the Great God, according to the plan He made long ago, acted on behalf of His people; the Children of Israel who had been held captive in Egypt for 400 years. In a bid to convince them and their oppressor, He performed countless signs through the hands of His servants Moses and Aaron.

For generations, they passed these stories down, not just as history, but as a reminder of their journey with the Almighty.

After they had settled in the land God had promised through Abraham, King David wrote in Psalm 78:41:
“Yes, again and again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.”

How is it possible to limit the Great God?

You might ask, “Didn't God do exactly what He planned?”
But their journey through the wilderness reveals something deeper.

God was raising a people who believed Him, but they were still trapped by the mentality of slavery they had once known. All that He did in their midst did not in any way break that mental slavery that had bounded them.

Their experiences had crippled them, and though they were free physically, their hearts were still bound. And despite what God did, that was what shaped their experience.

Could it be possible that in a way, you have also allowed other things shape you? Maybe your experiences? And despite the things God is telling you or even doing, you’re

For anything God wants to do with us, partnership is key. And partnership is never passive.

According to science, we have five senses. But for the man of the Spirit, there is a sixth — not the “suspicion” kind we joke about with African mothers, but a holy one:
A renewed heart and mind.

This sixth sense is as important as your eyes.
It is your MIND — or better yet, your HEART.
And Scripture says:

“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7

God has thoughts concerning you, do you know those thoughts, do you believe those thoughts?

You may believe in God, but do you believe God about you?

Because you will eventually act on how you perceive yourself. And God’s thoughts are not just compliments, they are a lens. A way for you to see yourself clearly.

When you don’t, you limit Him.

Dear Sibling,

Pride is refusing to call yourself what God has already called you.

This is what God is saying to you in this season:
“You are limiting what I want to do because you’re not seeing yourself through My lens — but through the crooked lens of experience, fear, and maybe even past mistakes.”

How do you fix your vision?

Rest in God — and let Him correct your blurry lens.
Stay in His Word — and let it transform your thinking.
Refuse to be held back by what the past says about you.

The promised land requires more than walking — it requires believing.
And belief begins with how you see — not just God, but yourself.

So today, choose God’s lens.
You are who He says you are.

BIBLE PLAN

This month, we invite you to join us on a 5-day Bible plan exploring the theme “New Mind; New Man.” Together, we’ll dive into scriptures and reflections that reveal how our thoughts shape our lives, influence our actions, and align us with God’s will.

Whether you’re seeking to renew your mind or strengthen your daily walk with God, this journey is for you.

Let’s grow together.

KEEP WARRING

BTH Global — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 17:02:25 GMT

Dear Sibling

I sat back at the desk at my friend’s house and quietly asked the lord, ‘what would you have me write?’

As I began to write words down, I came to an understanding that this one was different. Right there as the words formed into sentences, the Lord reminded me of the Bible verse;

‘And on the seventh day, God rested.’ (Genesis 2:2).

Here’s the thing, you’ve heard instructions and you’ve walked with prophecies. You’ve seen visions and you’ve ran with it in the past six months but have you wondered to let the Lord take the wheel of the prophecies He has given you?

You are used to carrying yourself and doing it all, you’re used to fighting like your life depends on it, you’re used to thinking you do the bulk of the work. You are used to doing the pushing. You’re the HUSTLER! The GOAL GETTER!

Which in itself is good, admirable and quite frankly very much applaudable.

But here’s a reminder that you’re not just any person, you’re God’s child so you hustle……… differently.

Now, are you that hustler or not hustler?!

In this moment, take a pause and think of how much of everything in the last six months or even more and ask yourself ‘was not your own strength?’.

Think of how the Lord sent men, sent help because He knew you would need it. Think of how the wisdom to navigate that situation came. Do you realize how important your Father is to your hustling and bustling life? This is to say even God respects your hustle but more than ever He desires to be a part of it. So, let He who gives strength to man, take the wheel of your life.

In this seventh month;

Don’t stop walking and warring and running with the prophecies and word and instructions you’ve gotten.

Rest means giving Jesus the wheel. Letting Him strengthen you because ‘who you really think say you be?’ In other words REST!

Not by sleeping while men work but by letting go and letting God.

It’s the kind of rest that knows who is driving. The kind that moves in step with the Holy Spirit. Let the project manager of your life manage your life as he gives you tasks.

But when you constantly fight for the wheel with the driver, someone is bound to hit a wall and you and I know that’s not going to be the Holy Spirit.

So, as God rested in the seventh day, not from exhaustion, but from completion. You too are invited to REST!

It's time to Let Go

BTH Global — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 14:46:33 GMT

Dearest Sibling,

Has it ever happened, that you’re asking God for the next step or the next thing to do and all you hear is “STAY”. Well that makes you and I.

In the month of May we received the word “Set Apart”, an urgent call to consecration and being who we’ve been called to be. To look at the one whom we’re meant to mirror and just like Romans 12:1 offer ourselves as living sacrifices unto the Lord. The hard part is that we’re “living” sacrifices and so we tend to crawl off the altar every now and then. But this is something we have to do daily, everyday you take yourself back to that altar and let God purify you.

In a world of so many voices and things trying to dictate your identity, more than ever before be rooted. Your identity is in Christ, not your wealth, desires, relationships or addictions. You have received the Holy Spirit dear believer and that counts for something. It counts for a lot.

What about June?...

The Lord says stay with the basics, a consecrated man is one I can do much with. Only when you are set apart can you receive the things and blessings that I have set apart for you.

In this season more than ever before be light. Matthew 5: 13 also says, You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Do not lose your flavor and do not lose sight of who you are in Christ. Here are a few ways to stay “Set Apart” in this season.

Fast: This doesn’t have to be food only, you know that what you may need is a fast from games, movies, social media, some relationships, etc.

We’ll be having a Global Fast on Friday 20th June, 2025.

Prayer: A consecrated man is one who prays, prayer shows dependency on God. If you’re not praying how are you surviving?
Bible Study: You can’t mirror who you don’t know, you can’t hear from God if you don’t know how He speaks. A chapter or two a day keeps the believers heart healthy.
Fellowship: Just like our anchor scripture Hebrews 10:24-25 says, Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good worksand let us not neglect our meeting together. There’s safety and wise counsel in fellowship.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

We’re not just here to provide answers; we’ll guide you through every step you need to take.

Bible Plan: Each month, we prayerfully share Bible Plans that align with the theme God has laid on our hearts. Our sincere desire is that you journey through them, allowing the Word to shape you and draw you deeper into alignment with the will of the Father. For this month of June, join our Bible Plan here.
Weekly Playlist: Here, we share our BTH weekly faves, no genre. Just a few songs we cannot get enough of. Here's the link to join.
Virtual Hangout: We’ve got virtual hangouts for siblings in every part of the world and it’s a platform where you can come bi-monthly to connect with other believers around the world. Your heart needs it, your spirit needs it, that’s why we have created it just for you.
For this month of June, the first one was on the 8th and the next one will be on the 22nd of June, 2025. Here's the link.

JUNE 2025 WITH

Who’s ready for new memories? For the month of June, we'll be meeting in 3 cities.

LAGOS - DJ CLASSIX’S ROOFTOP PARTY

Siblings in Lagos, we have one question for you. Are you ready to SOAR?

As you know, Partnership is one of our core values and we've shown that time and time again. If you were at DJ Classix's Rooftop party in March, you know we had a great time.

This time, we're SOARing on Friday, 27th June 2025. It's the Ultimate Afro Gospel Rooftop Party and you mustn't miss it.

There's a community discount like you might expect. Your discount code is "BELIEVERS". The tickets are limited so don’t snooze.

ABUJA - FUN DAY OUT

This June, we’re playing outside, touching grass and shooting paintballs and arrows. Yes, think Paintballs, archery, fun conversations etc.

It’s all the fun, fellowship, and refreshment you didn’t know you needed.

IBADAN - GAMES AND POTLUCK

If you’re in Ibadan, we’ll be meeting on the 29th of June. We’re going to have a great time. There’ll be Karaoke, Trampoline, Obstacle course, snooker etc. It’ll also be a Potluck, so ensure you bring something to share with siblings.

This month, make it a date with us if you’re in any of these cities and if you aren’t our Virtual Hangout is also another opportunity. We can’t wait to see you.

Set Apart

BTH Global — Fri, 09 May 2025 18:56:57 GMT

Dear Sibling,
This is the month to embrace your difference.

We live in a world that rewards sameness. Everyone is trying to fit in, follow the trend, stay relevant, and be accepted. But that was never your calling.

You were not saved to conform—you were called to be set apart.

The church of God is the gathering of the Ecclesia—the called-out ones.
We have been chosen to live by a different standard, walk a different path, and reflect a different glory.

But let’s be clear: being set apart doesn't mean isolation. It doesn't mean withdrawing from the world or acting superior. Jesus didn’t hide us away—He sent us in.

He said, “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore, be as shrewd as serpents and as innocent as doves.” (Matthew 10:16)

We are in the world, but not of it.
We interact, we love, we serve, we shine—but we do not conform. Our light is not to be dimmed by culture, but to help light the way.

Being set apart may look like walking away from what everyone else is running toward. It might sound like silence when noise is expected. Integrity when compromise is easier. Obedience when disobedience is trending.

This month, we invite you to lean into that call. Let God define your standard. Let Him set the rhythm. Let Him guide your choices.
You weren’t just saved from something—you were saved for something.

5 Practical Ways to Live Set Apart This Month

Start your day with consecration: Before you scroll or plan, surrender your day to God. “Lord, I belong to You. Let today reflect You.”
Audit your inputs: What are you feeding your soul? You can’t live a set-apart life with the world as your main influence.
Obey the nudge: When the Spirit prompts you—listen. Say the prayer, make the move, stay silent, or speak up. Set-apart people are led people.
Engage the world with wisdom: Jesus didn’t say “avoid them”—He said “go to them.” But go as sheep among wolves, full of discernment, compassion, and boldness.
Remember who you represent: In your words, your reactions, your decisions—remember who you represent. Heaven is watching and the world is listening.

Dear sibling,
You’re not random. You are marked. You are chosen. You are set apart.
Not to live in fear—but to live in purpose, power, and love.

The world may not understand it, but heaven celebrates it.
This May, live like the Ecclesia. Called out, yet called into the world—for God’s glory.

BIBLE PLAN

For this month of May, we invite you to journey with us through a 7-day Bible plan on being Set Apart. This plan will walk us through scriptures and reflections that remind us of our identity in Christ, our call to holiness, and how we can stand as lights in a world that needs Him.

Whether you’re just starting or looking to deepen your walk with God, this is for you.

🕊️ Let's grow together.
📲 Join Bible Plan here.
📌 Commit to reading daily and share your thoughts with your BTH Siblings.

Retrace your Steps

BTH Global — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 14:52:08 GMT

Dear Sibling,

Have you noticed that we set plans and when we achieve them, we are so quick to move on to the next big thing? We set goals like getting promoted, achieving fitness goals, moving into a new house, etc . Once we achieve these things, we move the goalpost.

We live in a world that glorifies hustle, multitasking, and always looking ahead. But sometimes the only thing we can do is pause, breathe, and pay attention.

We barely celebrate what we have achieved before setting out on the next thing. We set a new target and suddenly we are focused on the new better.

Hearing this sentence made me reassess my life and how in my pursuit for better, I may have distracted myself from a lot. While we are busy dreaming about someday, we are often missing the beauty of today.

Jesus literally tells us in Matthew 6:34 “therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself, each day has enough trouble of its own”. We are not to borrow stress from tomorrow, and yet we often spend time thinking about the future that we forget to live the very life we are praying for.

Let us not miss what God is doing right now because we are too busy chasing what’s next, what’s better. He is not just the God of our future, He is the God of today, He is here today.

As Q1 has ended, we are asking you to recalibrate. Sit still and take in the wins, the losses, the misses, the opportunities that came our way. “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

That verse doesn’t say “Be productive and know,” or “Be successful and know.” It says be still. Because stillness creates space for presence. And presence creates room for God.

Here are 5 ways that you can do that;

1. Put your phone down for 10 minutes, sit in silence. No scrolling, no music, no multitasking. Just be. Let God speak in the quiet.

2. Pay attention to what’s in front of you. Notice the colors around you. The way sunlight hits the wall. The way your coffee smells (for the coffee drinkers). The way someone smiles at you. These aren’t small things—they’re glimpses of God’s creativity and kindness.

3. You should enjoy today instead of obsessing over tomorrow: take time to celebrate the wins and losses. If we are always chasing the next thing, we miss what God is doing right now.

4. Growth also happens in the in-between : the waiting seasons, the slow growth, and even the setbacks are where God does His best work. Example: Jesus spent 30 years in preparation for a 3-year ministry. God isn’t in a hurry, so why are you?

5. Take some time to rest. So today, let’s trade the rush for the next goalpost for stillness.

God is not only in your someday, He’s right here in your right now.

Dear World-Class Christian

BTH Global — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 15:49:49 GMT

Dear Sibling,

Do you know that a name is gotten from an identity?

We call you sibling because we’re all children of God, members of His family, Joint-heirs with Christ.

So today, the name we’ve chosen to call you is “World-Class Christian”. Well, what’s the identity behind this name?

Because Jesus has chosen you. Your identity is not just in being saved but in being sent. You are part of something greater than yourself—a mission that spans generations and nations.

In case you missed it everywhere we’ve put it, our Theme for the year 2025 is Discipleship. God has instructed us, both as individuals and as a family, to become deeply rooted in Christ and to be vessels through which others will stand solid in Him.

That is what makes you world-class, when you know you’re saved for a mission.

If the gospel of Jesus reached you on the shoulders of twelve disciples who took their mandate seriously, then your impact and contribution are not small. You are a continuation of that mission.

Our goal with this Newsletter is to help you understand that you have a part to play and encourage you to do so.

It is important that you recognize that every interaction, every moment, and every opportunity is a chance to reveal the love of Christ and draw people into a deeper relationship with Him.

So, what are the ways that you can do this?

Invest in your own spiritual growth – Prioritize your spiritual growth. As you stay diligent in prayer and study of God’s word, you must know that you were created to become like Christ. It should show that you are of God as the Bible says in 1 Cor 11:1 - “Imitate me as I imitate Christ”.
Invest in the spiritual growth of others – Disciple someone by being invested in their spiritual growth. It could be you being an accountability partner for that person, ensuring they remain committed to the things of God.
Be intentional about sharing the gospel – Use every opportunity to talk about Jesus, whether in conversations, social media, or acts of kindness. By doing these, you could be sowing seeds that someone else will water.
Pray for the nations and kingdom work – You may not be able to physically go to some places, but our prayers have no limitations. So, intercede for people, ministries, and unreached territories.

Join our Bible Plan for the month here.

On your marks...

BTH Global — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:02:28 GMT

A letter to the BTH Global Family…

*coughs* as I clear away the 2024 cobwebs and dust. I missed you all too and I can’t believe it took this long to write to you. Well we’ve resumed and you can expect to read a letter or two from us every month throughout 2025.

I would say we had a bit of a slow start to the year, we didn’t “hit the ground running” as many do. I want you to know this isn’t always a bad thing, we were reminded about the importance of running together as a people, with a destination in mind. You know that popular meme video that says “Why are you running”, yess that’s it. Being busy does not equal productivity or alignment to God’s will and so we spent the first few days of the year sitting with God and waiting.

This year at BTH Global has been declared Our year of Discipleship! The year we raise men that would in turn raise other men. The year we’ll individually and collectively be rooted in Christ as well as raise other men in our care by God’s grace. Dear Sibling, is there anyone who is standing solid in Christ on your account? Are there people who now know and serve God because of you?

If your answer is no, 2025 is the year it all changes, AMEN.

February - RUN ON 🏃🏽‍♂️

Have you been diligent child of God?

When the hand of God comes upon a man one of the things that happens is distinction. It sets you apart and aligns you. This month of February the hand of the Lord is upon you and has given you grace and speed. One of the things we saw were new running shoes being handed over to men.

The problem is you may be tempted to hear this and sit back, but no this is a call to build capacity. David was anointed by Samuel yet he had to fight Goliath and many more men after him. Joseph had the ability to interpret dreams but if he never did albeit in prison, pharaoh would never have found out and summoned him.

How are you making use of your gifts and anointing? Let it be evident to your world that the hand of God is upon you. Let it count for something, but never forget that being busy is not equal to productivity. Focus on what matters and put your all into it.

The 3 C’s for this month are;

Conviction: let your convictions be strengthened and rooted in the word of God. Know who you are and whose you are.
Consistency: show up consistently and excellently. Be trustworthy, accountable and dependable
Community: we’ve be saved into one body in Christ. Do life with other believers, fellowship with saints, find ways to serve and share your gifts.

Join our Bible plan for this month here.

Community Partnerships

Collaboration is one of our core values and this year one more thing you can expect from us is community partnerships and collaborations. We love that we get to be a part of the how God is using His church and play our part. If you’re in Lagos, Nigeria and have no Valentine Day plans, we invite you to join us. This month’s newsletter is proudly sponsored by “Bae or No Bae with Angeloh” an evening of music and conversations.

Use our code “bth” to enjoy community perks and get a 30% sibling discount off using this link.

Yaay, cheers to more partnerships this 2025 🎉.

February - April 2025

Wade in New Waters...

BTH Global — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 15:51:24 GMT

Dear Sibling,

If you had one word to describe what the month of December would be for you what would it be? Victorious? Bold? Strong? Trusting?

For us the Lord has called it “New Waters”, yes yes I know it’s two words but read it as one. Two references came to mind as we heard this word and the first was the story of Jesus and His disciples in Luke 5. They were still fishermen at that time, had toiled all night and yet caught no fish. In verse 4, we see the Lord asking them to cast their net one more time and do you know what happened???

They caught so much fish that their nets began to break. On account of their obedience to an instruction that had come from Jesus, they saw the results and fruits of it. If they hadn’t cast that net, if they had stood on the reality that they had toiled all night and didn’t see any fish, what do you think would have happened?

The second story takes us to 1 Kings 18 from vs 41, I don’t know about you but if I try maybe a maximum of three times and don’t see what the Lord said, I’m not sure if I have it in me to go again 7 times. But we see that Elijah was so certain that the Lord will do as He had said, so certain that he kept checking until he saw a tiny cloud on the 7th try. Not even the entire fulfillment, just a tiny sign, that indeed heavy rains would soon follow.

I said all this to say TRUST GOD dear sibling. Yes maybe you’ve tried 3 or 4 times, be like Elijah and go again. Hold on to the promises of God and don’t let the devil steal it from your heart. Hold on to God’s track record of keeping His words in your life and in the lives of those around you.

If you’ve found yourself doubting in the past few weeks why don’t you try saying this out loud, “I believe that God is able to fulfill every one of His promises to me, according to His will”.

Lastly, it’s not really about you it’s about God. God is more concerned and zealous about His will being done than you are. Why don’t you hold on to that word.

Dear sibling Take Steps of Boldness this December, Take Courageous steps of Trust, Cast your nets, Prophesy over dry bones and Check again even after the 6th try.

The Biggest Thanksgiving Party 🎉

Imagine yourself and other believers on a lit up Rooftop, all glammed up, shared laughter over wholesome conversations, busting dance moves you never knew you had in you, a band, a Dj and hearts full of thanksgiving to the Lord.

If you’ve been wanting to attend a BTH hangout this is the next best opportunity. An experience like nothing we’ve ever done. Just thinking about it makes my face light up and it wouldn’t be complete without you. Get your tickets here.

A Collaboration 🪢

At BTH Global we envision the global body of Christ united and we’re really big on collaborating with other believers.

Do you know what’s better that One? TWO! We’re not doing this party alone, we’re collaborating with The Fellowship.

Unity

We want you to do this with us. If you’d like to support this event in any way please send us a DM on Instagram @bthglobal or email at believersthathangout@gmail.com.

Here’s how you can support:

Financially through this link (this would cover logistics, decor, etc)
Food and Drinks (for vendors)
A Gift Card, A Coupon, An product from your brand, etc (we’d like to give Christmas gifts to siblings during our raffle draw)
Photography and Videography

It’s been an incredible year, and we’re so excited to host you again in the coming year. Until then, wade in new waters.

The 11th Hour

BTH Global — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 10:27:28 GMT

Dear Sibl….

Wait, wait, wait, pick it back up.

Pick back what you just dropped. Yes, pick up your zeal.

That’s right, good job 👍🏾

Who says it’s time to throw in the towel?

I hear you - this year has been a real roller coaster, hasn't it? With all the challenges and curveballs, it can be tempting to throw in the towel, especially as we head into the home stretch. But I'm here to tell you that giving up is not an option.

You know, there's no rule that says we can only give our best at the start of the year. Every moment is an opportunity to make a difference, and the efforts we put in today can have a profound impact, even if the results aren't immediately obvious. The 11th hour is when champions are made, dear sibling.

We were indeed warned about the potential turbulence ahead in 2024, but no amount of preparation could have readied us for the sheer intensity of this year. It's been a real test of resilience, no doubt. But as the wise ones have said, "He who endures to the end shall be saved."

So, dear sibling, I urge you - don't lose that zeal, that fire in your belly. Keep pushing forward, keep striving for excellence. The efforts you put in now will pay dividends, even if the payoff isn't visible just yet. Believe in the process, trust the journey, and know that you've got this.

It seems as though every Newsletter this year has been a form of encouragement but if that’s what you need, we won’t get tired of doing so.

We’re here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can navigate these uncharted waters and emerge stronger than ever before. So, what do you say - are you ready to finish this year with a bang?

So, to the real question, how are you doing?

If you 🫵🏾 scroll past that question.

Be vulnerable enough to answer exactly how you’re feeling. This is important because we're all so conditioned to just keep powering through, to avoid burdening others with our troubles. But the truth is, we all need that human connection, that space to be vulnerable and to lean on each other.

November: Our month of Alignment

We got this word while at our new month prayer.

When a shift happens in your life (the word we got last month was, The Shift), staying grounded and centered becomes crucial.

God has given us this promise for the month, and here's the exciting part: He's not just promising alignment, He's providing a way to maintain it.

Every Monday, we're coming together as a family on our Telegram channel at 7am to pray.

Remember, sensitivity to His leading doesn't just happen - it's cultivated through consistent communion. This is our opportunity to stay tuned in, aligned, and focused on His direction.

So, mark your calendars, set those alarms, and let's meet every Monday at 7am on our Telegram Channel and every other day on our Bible Plan.

Gratitude corner

Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you all the Lord has done.

Global Virtual Hangouts

Have you missed us? Because we definitely have.

Dear Sibling,

Join us this for our Bi-weekly virtual hangout this November on the 10th and 24th. RSVP with this link so you can get notified.

We honestly cannot wait to catch up with you.

BTH Global — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 15:21:50 GMT

Dearest Sibling,

How are you feeling? And I mean this truly. How is your heart doing this month? I’d love to give you a very big BTH warm hug and tell you well done! Since I can’t, I want you to imagine God wrapping His arms around you in a giant hug.

There seems to be a wave of tiredness in the air. I feel it too, so if you’re like me I want you to know you’re not the only one. But stay with me, I may have one or two or even three words for you. It is the 10th month of the year guyss(1 2 3 4 5…10). Counting it out loud is unbelievable. How did we get here? I remember the first newsletter BTH sent this year so how are we already on the 10th.

Let’s start by sneezing out that air of tiredness, weariness and discouragement you may have mistakenly inhaled. I know sometimes it can feel like the end of the tunnel is refusing to come so you can finally see the light at the end of it. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day (Prov 4:18).

God is not done with you yet.

Gratitude Corner

Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you all the Lord has done.

The Shift 🚀

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. (Isaiah 43:19)

The word I clearly heard was “All of a sudden”. That’s how it would seem for a number of siblings. It feels like a shift from the transition we were in previously into the land flowing with milk and honey. The time is now, yes the set time is now and I want you to see and believe it. For many of you it will be silent prayers being answered, for others it’ll look like the barren areas of your life have begun to sprout fruit and for the rest of you it will be peace and wholeness.

You may also be wondering why I am showing the picture of a man at the beginning of a racetrack when you’re tired already. There is yet more strength for you dear sibling and there is a race set before us.

God hasn’t given up on you so why should you?

Your heart will burn again, you shall obey the instructions that have been given to you, you will become a true worshipper and your oil of gladness, the oil on your altar will be replenished.

Hold fast to the Lord your God.

The Lord says, Behold I am the Lord your God is there anything to hard for me to do and I want to leave you with this scripture, Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Eph 3:20).

3 Prayer Points for yourself:

Lord teach me to trust in you with all my heart, might and soul. Help me to trust in your will and lean not on my own understanding.
Give me the strength and boldness to obey your leadings and instructions.
In your mercy O Lord, keep me from error and direct my path in your light.

Here is your Bible Plan for this month.

A Call to more..

If the gospel we have heard and believed is really GOOD NEWS, we should not keep it to ourselves. As a family we want each and every one of us to share the gospel more.

This month we would be challenging ourselves to talk to at least one person every week about the gospel and pray for them. We would check-in on ourselves during our Global Virtual hangouts

Happy Anniversary to you too

BTH Global — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 19:30:11 GMT

How much can change in a year?

A whole lot!

Last year, BTH was only in 3 cities and now, the journey that began with a single step is 3 years, 3 continents, 9 countries, 10 cities and over 2 thousand siblings in.

This influence and spread can only be a testament to the hand of God. He is “Oranmonisefayati” a yoruba word that means, “The one who backs up the called”.

Reflecting on Our Journey

Our journey has been characterized by:

Continuous Growth: Both in numbers and in spiritual depth. We play but we prayyy.
Overcoming Challenges: We’re reminded of the song “The story I’ll tell” by Maverick city. Our tears and battles have only made us stronger.
Unforgettable Moments: The laughter, the pure joy! We’ve created so many memories that will last a lifetime
Service: The Lord is raising and army in and through us. Would you be counted in that number?
Friendships & Relationships: Strangers becoming family and even business partners. We’ve seen believers united regardless of denomination or church.
Constant Improvement: Always striving to be better and do better. Our God is excellent and as His children we must emulate.

The Heart of BTH: Our Hangouts

Ask any sibling about their favorite BTH hangout, and you're likely to hear not just one, but multiple stories. No two hangouts, trips or events are ever the same. Each hangout holds a special place in our hearts, filled with unique experiences and cherished memories.

But BTH is more than just monthly gatherings. We've worked tirelessly to create:

A sanctuary for the Lord's people to rest and be refreshed
A safe space for all our siblings
A home away from home

If God did lead you here, you should be assured of His love and intentionality for you.

Looking Forward

As we reflect on our past, we're filled with gratitude for how far we've come. But this anniversary isn't just about looking back—it's about looking forward. We're excited about the possibilities that lie ahead in the coming year and we look forward to making more memories with you.

We remain committed to our core values:

Encouraging one another to acts of love and good works (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Expanding our reach until we see every nation, tribe and tongue knows Jesus
Seeing the body of Christ united regardless of denomination
Ensuring no believer does life alone

MARGIE OF BTH

BTH community changed my life

Two years ago, I had just attended a house party in the eagerness to build my social life especially after Covid had made remote work a thing, during the house party they started playing games I was not interested in and I felt really uncomfortable till I left.

Then I remembered that I had seen a flier on Christians hanging out on IG, I immediately signed up for my first hangout in November 2022 and to say my life has changed will be an understatement.

From my very first hangout, traveling with siblings, attending hangouts and I felt like I have found my people , people I could be myself with.

BTH has changed my life in more ways than I can imagine.

Anyone who knows me, knows how quiet I can be, but guess what through BTH I am now hosting hangouts, hugging people, praying with and for people, building relationships, having great conversations.

See I did not realize how much my life has changed until I started typing this….. from a girl who believed praying was just a me thing to leading prayers during hangouts, to curating events for siblings!!!!!

You see that prayer we say during our hangouts that everyone who attends BTH will serve the Lord…😊😊😊 I am a living testimony.

Happy anniversary BTH!!!

Thank you for existing and well done to the team for 3 beautiful years of curating life transforming hangouts in different cities, countries and continents.

AMAKA OF BTH

I'd never forget, silent disco 1.0.

I came with the Heaviest heart, tried to mask my tears and pain behind my dark shades. I met Mimi of BTH for the first time and Immediately she hugged me (like she knew I badly needed that hug) by the entrance, I broke down. I didn't feel like a stranger in that space, I felt whole.

I sought God’s face and he showed up, I casted and laid my burdens at his feet in that gathering and I left there a better person than I came.

PELS OF BTH

This family has been an integral part of my life. Through BTH, God has revealed a huge part of myself to me.

BTH global is God’s kingdom on earth, and I’m grateful to be a part of it.

SHALOM OF BTH

BTH has made me meet so many great friends that have been vital to my Christian growth.

It’s something I always look forward to, outside of church seeing that I don’t always go out. It’s a place where you can have fun, be vulnerable, knowing that everyone came together because of Christ.

Thank You

To every sibling: Thank you. Your faith, your believe in us and this assignment, your participation, and your love have made this journey possible. We're deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve you and to be a part of your journey.

Here's to many more years of growth, love, and community!

More than an August visitor

BTH Global — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 17:45:29 GMT

Dear Sibling,

Guess what?

In exactly one month from today, we'll be celebrating a significant milestone - BTH's third anniversary! It's hard to believe that three years have flown by since we had our first hangout and we haven’t looked back ever since.

But, back to being serious.

How would you describe Encounters?

That moment when God dramatically interrupts your day and invades you with His presence? Think of Moses and the burning bush. That’s such a fantastic example because truly, that was what happened. God interrupted his day.

But what if we told you there's a more systematic path to encounters?

God, in His infinite wisdom, has provided us with a systematic approach to experiencing His presence. While spontaneous encounters are beautiful, our Creator doesn't want our spiritual journey to rely solely on chance. He is, after all, a God of order and system.

In the Old Testament, we see a recurring theme: when an altar is prepared with a sacrifice, fire from heaven is sure to fall. This isn't coincidence - it's covenant.

Consider these powerful examples:

Elijah called down fire after setting up an altar (1 Kings 18:38)
Gideon witnessed heavenly fire consume his offering (Judges 6:21)
David saw the Lord answer with fire on the altar (1 Chronicles 21:26)

What does God expect of us in this season?

He is calling us to repair our altars. Broken altars signify neglect and abandonment, and they do not catch fire. God desires a restored and active relationship with us, one where we intentionally create space for His presence not the one where our encounter with Him is an August Visitor.

He wants us to repair our altars because broken altars don’t catch fire and they also signify abandonment.
Random encounters don’t sustain fire, but actively seek Him because we know that He is faithful to respond when we prepare our hearts.
The altar needs a sacrifice and unlike the bulls and goats, you are that sacrifice; a living sacrifice. So while the altar must be repaired, it is the presence of the sacrifice that invites the fire because fire must consume something. YOU!

A rare image of you on fire….

You know we always plug you to the things that will help you in areas that God has by His goodness pointed out to us. So, here's a Bible Plan and a prayer playlist to help you rearrange your altars in preparation for fire.

You’re welcome.

BI-WEEKLY VIRTUAL MEETINGS

We’ve had two Global Virtual Meetings already and if you missed it, all we can say is that you’re missing out on a lot.

The first one we had, the first 3 Siblings that joined won themselves a merch each. So, three more people have a BTH cap each.

The second one, we had an interesting discussion on How we handle moments of self-doubt and insecurity and what an interesting turn it took. It was filled with so many perspectives that enlightened us. We also had one of our siblings who is a Frontend Engineer talk to us on the importance of community in building a career in any space. It was an interesting one and we look forward

If you’ve missed these two, you missed but the good thing is that there will be much more, so ensure to block your Calendars for the month of August it’ll be on the 11th and 25th of August.

So, if you have questions, send it across before then and we’ll be treating them.

WEAR BTH PROUDLY

If you’re reading this and you don’t have any of our merch; A BTH shirt, cap or conversation card, we must tell you that you’re just about the only person. But we can do something about that, use this link to make your order and wear BTH proudly.

Guess What? You can pick the name you want us to write on your shirt 🥳

The Conversation Starter cards are intentionally designed to foster, create, strengthen Christian friendships and relationships. Use this for your community, church, cell meetings or fellowships.

HELP CORNER

Dear Siblings,

Doubt can stop us in our tracks, make us second-guess ourselves, and even paralyze us from taking action.

As believers, we often feel that doubt shouldn't be part of our experience. After all, faith is at the core of who we are. But here's the thing - even the strongest among us can sometimes find ourselves wrestling with uncertainty.

Remember that powerful story in the Bible? The one where a father brings his son to Jesus for healing? He says something that many of us can relate to: Lord, I believe; help my unbelief! (Mark 9:24)

Isn't that a paradox? He believes, but at the same time, he recognizes there's unbelief in his heart. And you know what? That's okay. He was honest about it, and he asked for help.

We sense that there might be some of us who might be struggling with doubt and knowing that this can be a hindrance to believing all God has promised us. This video will help you understand that God is with you in every step, so keep trusting Him.
