Meet The Leaders
Join us on a one-of-a-kind mission trip
You are invited to join me and my good friend Dr. Charles Robinson, the leader Tipping Point Conferences, on an exclusive Executive Mission Trip to the energetic capitol city of Africa’s most prosperous and populated nation.
We will lead a select team of Kingdom-minded business leaders to connect and collaborate with their cross-Atlantic counterparts, sow into the vanguard of the Body of Christ in our generation, explore the economic opportunities of this fast-rising nation, and participate in the front-line reality of the Kingdom Come in ways most Americans never see.
God has given me great favor in this amazing land. I’ve spent considerable time in Nigeria over the past several years, and have forged friendships with elite leaders in business, government and ministry. I would be honored to open those same doors for you, and help you tap into the fast-growing economy in this up-and-coming nation. It will be a trip you will never forget.
– Mike Arnold, Founder and CEO
What man has long called “The Dark Continent,” God is raising up in these latter days to be the Continent of Light, with Nigeria as the primary point of outpouring.
Nigeria is the gateway to Africa, with more than 1/5 of the entire population of the continent. In 2011, Citigroup predicted that Nigeria will have the highest average GDP growth in the world between 2010–2050. It is the largest economy in Africa and growing steadily at 9-10% a year — and this in the face of staggering issues of unemployment, corruption, lack of infrastructure and radical Islam. They are rich in natural resources and strategically situated geographically.
More important, the people are amazingly bright, educated, entrepreneurial, young, and are invested with all the values that made America great — yet that we lack today: Faith, family, integrity, hard-work, passion, vision, hope…
Nigeria is on the frontline of the Kingdom Come. The North is sharia law, the South is like Ephesus in the Book of Acts. They face brutal, daily persecution that is unimaginable to Americans. Yet Nigeria is the only nation on earth where Radical Islam is being pushed back.
This exclusive Executive Mission Trip is a rare opportunity to:
- Cut past the manipulated headlines to see first-hand what’s really going on the world,
- Serve according to your giftedness and life experience to sow into a vibrant community of faith that is rising victorious in the face of the worst the enemy has to offer,
- Connect with abundant business opportunities in this fast-growing economy,
- Experience miracles, worship and fellowship like the Early Church, and
- Participate in what is perhaps the most significant and strategic move of God on earth today.
Space is limited. Register today!

Travel Details
A few important things to know:
- We will provide pro-active education and assistance in advance of the trip, so you can be fully prepared.
- English is the official language of Nigeria. (They were a British colony.)
- You will need a current passport and Nigerian visa well in advance of the trip. We will help you through the process.
- This is a tropical, Third World country. Specific immunizations and malaria prevention medication are necessary. You should see your doctor for a malaria pill prescription at least a month in advance of the trip. See more information at the CDC website.
- This is a divided nation. The North is under sharia law and ruled by Boko Haram. Security is a top priority. We will be staying in the heart of the nation’s capitol, which is in Christian territory and the most secure city in the country. But it’s not Disneyland! This is not a zero-risk venture.
- Food is hearty and healthy, but still Nigerian. We will do our best to accommodate special dietary needs but cannot guarantee our ability to do so in-country. You should be prepared to try new things.
- Power outages are common, even in the very best facilities. All have back-up generators, but interruptions should be expected.
- Internet connectivity is generally good, as is cell phone reception. If you wish to use your cell phone there, you should make arrangements in advance with your carrier. Otherwise, Skype is a great option.
- The people there are exceptionally formal, stylish and well-groomed. Business attire is recommended at all times. We recommend that you purchase some local clothing upon arrival. It’s very affordable and comfortable!
- You should bring new US $100 bills for your spending money, to be exchanged for Niara upon arrival. Credit cards and checks are not generally accepted there, and the money changers don’t like bills of other sizes. Banking is possible but quite tedious. Best just to bring a wad of $100s…
- Let us know if you have any additional questions!
