Founder, Shepherds Ink Creatives Outreach (SICOM), Mr. Andrew Danghai has described the Christmas Project Workshop (CPW) Yuletide Season 5 as a testament to the power of creativity as well as a vehicle for evangelism and community transformation. He said the outreach remains committed to expanding the annual model of creative missions, strengthening partnerships, and deepening impact in future editions with more strategic partners and sponsors in 2026. He assured that the outreach is rooted in creativity for Christ missions, faithfully committed to rightly dividing the Word of Truth and serving the next generation.
Danghai who spoke at the close of the Christmas Project Workshop Season 5, organised by Shepherds Ink Creatives Outreach in collaboration with Dare2bDifferent Initiative said the workshop themed Rooted in Creativity for Christ Missions, featured over 600 children who were provided spiritual ministry, meals, gifts and creative engagement in a safe and joyful environment. It was held between December 13 and 14 at TCNN College, Rahwol Kanan, Bukuru, Jos-South, Plateau State.
The project was designed as a creative evangelism and humanitarian outreach aimed at engaging children and young people through art, story-telling, short-film making practical production workshop and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through strategic collaborations with faith-based organizations, creative partners, and community stakeholders, the vision was to go beyond conventional charity by using creative evangelism as a tool for spiritual formation and emotional healing among children.

“By integrating art, colors, music, storytelling, and interactive play, the project presented the Gospel message in a way that was age-appropriate, culturally engaging, memorable and impactful.
This approach ensured that children did not only receive gifts, but also experienced love, dignity and spiritual nourishment.
Volunteers engaged children individually through face painting and creative expression. This activity helped build trust, break emotional barriers, and create personal connections with each child. The visual arts component brought joy and fostered a sense of belonging,” Andrew said.
All through the session, the gospel was shared through structured, age-appropriate sessions: children between ages 3 and 9, interactive Bible stories, songs, and visuals conducted in an informal outdoor setting.
Pre-teens and teenagers: Contextual and relevant teachings that encouraged moral responsibility, faith and purpose-driven living.
Clowns and facilitators from Child Evangelism Fellowship used humour, drama and play to communicate wisdom and biblical values through joyful engagement.
A creatively designed nativity-themed backdrop served as the setting for gift distribution by Santa’s Grotto. Over 600 children received gifts of customized facemasks from Shepherds Ink Creatives, and other items such as educational materials, and food items, reinforcing the message of generosity, love, and hope.
