Five books authored by Pastor Dr. Eugene Ikechukwu Ukaoha will on Saturday November 14 be unveiled. The author will also inaugurate Schoolmates for Christ Evangelistic Ministry (SFC).
The event is scheduled to hold at the West Africa Theological Seminary (WATS) located at 36, Olukunle Akinola Street Ipaja, Lagos Along Ipaja-Ayobo Road by Akinyele B/Stop
The books to be unveiled include A Celebration of God’s Faithfulness: The Story of My Life, Part 1 . This is a personal account of God’s faithfulness, tracing the experiences, encounters, and milestones that have shaped the author’s life and journey.
The second book is A Handbook of Counseling for Pastors and Church Workers. This is a practical resource designed to strengthen the capacity of Christian ministers and church workers to provide meaningful, responsible, and biblically informed counsel.
Also in the list is Introduction to Psychology – An introductory exploration of human behaviour and psychological principles, offering readers a foundation for understanding the human behaviour/ mind and its complexities.
The fourth book is Theology of Holiness in Biblical Perspective. This book examines holiness from the standpoint of biblical revelation, engaging one of the central themes of Christian faith and discipleship.
And then, Introduction to the History of Christianity in West Africa . This is a historical exploration of the development and growth of Christianity in West Africa, providing readers with valuable perspectives on the Christian heritage of the region.
The new titles are a significant contribution to Christian literature, particularly in the areas of theological education, pastoral development, biblical understanding, and the preservation of Christian history.
All the books seek to enrich readers, stimulate deeper intellectual engagement, and encourage a more informed expression of the Christian faith.
INAUGURATION OF SCHOOLMATES FOR CHRIST EVANGELISTIC MINISTRY
Beyond the literary celebration, the event will also mark the formal inauguration of Schoolmates for Christ Evangelistic Ministry (SFC).
Ukaoha explains that the ministry is born out of an initiative built around a compelling vision to reach his schoolmates for Christ.
The ministry accoding to him ‘seeks to provide a platform through which relationships established during school years can become channels for evangelism, Christian fellowship, spiritual encouragement, and the advancement of the Gospel.”
The inauguration of the ministry underscores the conviction that the Great Commission is not restricted to church pulpits, organised crusades, or conventional evangelistic platforms. “Indeed, friendships, former school associations, and longstanding relationships can become powerful opportunities for introducing people to the transforming message of Jesus Christ.” He said
He said further that the ministry seeks to mobilise individuals to reconnect with their schoolmates, share their faith, and encourage one another towards a meaningful relationship with Christ.
Both the book launch and ministry inauguration will bring together Christian leaders, theologians, family members, friends, and lovers of Christian literature for an afternoon of intellectual engagement, celebration, and renewed commitment to the advancement of God’s Kingdom.
A CELEBRATION OF KNOWLEDGE, FAITH, AND KINGDOM PURPOSE
The launch of the books and the inauguration of SFC bring together two important dimensions of Christian responsibility: the preservation and dissemination of knowledge, and the practical mobilisation of believers for evangelism.
While the books seek to contribute to the intellectual, theological, and ministerial development of readers, the inauguration of SFC points towards the practical responsibility of taking the Gospel beyond the walls of the church and into existing human relationships and communities.
The Saturday event is also expected to be an inspiring gathering that celebrates the value of Christian scholarship while renewing attention to the Church’s enduring responsibility to teach, equip, disciple, and reach the world with the Gospel.

My professional recommendations before publication
Author’s profile: Include a brief biography of Pastor Dr. Eugene Ikechukwu Ukaoha, highlighting his academic qualifications, ministry experience, theological contributions, and other relevant accomplishments. This will give journalists more context.
Book photographs: Make the five book covers available to media houses alongside the press release.
Media distribution: Send the release to national newspapers, Christian media platforms, online news publications, radio stations, and theological institutions.
Photographic coverage: Arrange for professional photographs of the author, book unveiling, guests, and SFC inauguration.
One particularly important suggestion: The headline should sell both the intellectual significance of the five publications and the evangelistic vision behind SFC. That combination gives the event a stronger news angle than an ordinary book launch.
