History of Nigeria Christian Corpers' Fellowship (NCCF)

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.
