Brief History of Nigeria Christian Corper's Fellowship

"
In the early days of 1930’s there lived a British missionary, specifically a Scottish by name PA. S. G ELTON who resided in ilesa, Osun State(i.e. south western part of Nigeria). He gave 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.

NYSC is built on three R keys:
  1. Rehabilitation
  2. Reconstruction 
  3. Reconciliation
During the orientation camp program, Christian graduates met and fellowship with one another. They then went back to their various states and share their experience of which to their surprise happens to be the same.



DIVINE PROVIDENCE
In 1983 NCCF came into existence. In NCCF we call ourselves “Jesus Corpers” and we have a slogan which is: Jesus Corpers will never die or NCCF – one big family NCCF have her national headquarter in Jos, plateau state. We are a three in one body;
  • Fellowship (where Christ and not church is preached)
  • Corporate body (meaning we are registered 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 sue or been sued)
  • One big family
  • Rural rugged evangelism
In NCCF, we generate our funds through four means
  1. Tithes
  2. Offerings
  3. Freewill donation
  4. Capitation
Capitation is not your first fruit but one out of your 12 month allowances payable while you are still serving. It can be paid in instalment.

NCCF family house is a home away from home.. they provide accommodation to corpers who want to stay with them... if you want to know more about NCCF, then visit the family house.
NCCF is present in very state in Nigeria, and each state has a zone and sub zone.
