Dr. Oko's Visit to England
Dr.Oko's Visit to England.
During his visit, Dr. Oko was warmly welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Balcomb, kicking off the journey with a gracious invitation. The following days were filled with enriching experiences, from attending a WFWP Organization event to engaging with students at Greenwich University. Notable highlights included productive meetings with the BCS youth pastor. They also had a meeting with the director of European Teachers Without Borders at the Google office, where discussions about the future of their projects took place.
Amidst the bustling cityscape of Central London, they also made time for a bit of sightseeing and generously donated footballs to local teams. As the trip drew to a close, Dr. Oko continued to make an impact, delivering presentations and connecting with communities in Birmingham and beyond.

Testimonies from the event.
I just want to say I was really moved by Dr Oko's visit to our region and his presentation and talk. We shared a lovely lunch with him so we're able to chat with him beforehand. I knew him a little, talking to him on FB and WhatsApp and I always found what he 'posted' really interesting. His understanding of TPs and the Divine Principle is really inspiring. So to hear him talk about the Providence between Nigeria and UK, which I had never come across in my life was amazing. I feel a real connection to Nigeria, especially I wanted to have blessed couples there. Unfortunately Nigeria has such a bad reputation and press which is so sad, even among some of our members, but I feel Dr Oko can change all of that if we can really support the Providence in Nigeria. I can only thank him for making the huge effort to visit us here in UK, travelling around to share all this information. You can feel how much hope God has through him for the future. I pray he can visit here again before his Visa expires. Thank you Dr Oko your work is truly inspirational.

Dear Mieko, my reflection. Dr Oko visiting Britain.
It was really wonderful to see again some familiar B&S. Finally I was really exited to meet Dr Oko. We had so much conversation over WhatsApp to follow all the many HTM activities in Nigeria. So I wanted to get to know him in person. Then I was deeply moved sitting together sharing experiences and talking how to successfully develop further the work for the HTM tribes in Nigeria. Also to get a deeper understanding of the history of Nigeria was very helpful. To see that God has a strong desire to develop Nigeria and the whole of Africa to become a Heavenly Kingdom. And there is Dr Oko who sincerely takes on this big challenge to make HTM providence successful with our support from Europe, spiritually and substantially. Now I am even more convinced, together we may bring a better, heavenly future for all.
Thank you.

First, when Africa is restored, the gates will open for Europe. We started HTM in Africa because we got inspiration from True Father's word. When Nigeria moves, Africa moves, I heard Father's words from Dr Oko. UK and Nigeria have a deep historical relationship, so we can work together on education and other various projects. Personally, I learned from Dr. Oko about how to succeed in Home Church which is each of our responsibilities. Thank you to everyone in the UK and especially to everyone in Europe for your prayers and financial support.
