ABSTRACT
Christianity, from inception, has been a missionary religion. The Acts of the Apostles and Pauline letters are replete with Paul‘s missionary activities and their contributions to contemporary churches. Many scholars have examined Paul‘s missionary journeys and strategies, but adequate attention has not been given to the connection between these strategies and those of the Lagos Metropolitan Areas of The Apostolic Church, Nigeria (LMATACN) which is a missionary organisation. This study, therefore, compared Paul‘s missionary strategies with those of LMATACN with a view to determining the Biblical basis and the effectiveness of the missionary enterprise of LMATACN. The study utilised Peter Wagner‘s Frontier Missionary Strategy, which underscores the relevance of Bible-centredness for mission work. In-depth interviews were conducted with purposively selected 50 clergy and 20 laity. Also, 220 copies of a questionnaire were administered to 32 pastors, 45 church officers and 143 members selected from LMATACN, comprising Lagos and Ogun States. Church records at the Mission Headquarters in Lagos were consulted. Data were subjected to exegetical analysis, with reference to selected passages in Acts and Pauline letters; and percentages.
