CMI Nigeria Studio
Pastor Mark Holmes is our partner and missionary in Nigeria. Mark and his wife Sabrina have 6 children and their home church in the States is in Gulfport, Mississippi. In 2021, CMI traveled to Ibadan, Nigeria and also to the city of Lagos. Christian Media International funded the construction of a new building on the church property and then outfitted the inside with sound proofing, decorations and then, of course, the studio equipment. Upon completion of the installation, we then trained the men on the ground to operate this studio.
The Network
The current population of Nigeria is 206 million. 50 million of them speak Yoruba which is the language we immediately began to record. Just recently we have also begun to record our second language, Hausa. There are 30 million people who speak that language and almost 80 million people speak English. We are airing these programs regionally in the two largest population areas of Nigeria. We will continue to add more languages in this studio and then air those programs to the country of Nigeria and beyond. We have already funded 2 additional church plants here and have a goal of nearing 10 total this calendar year!
