Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

In fulfillment of the biblical prophecy that all nations shall worship (Psalm 86:9, Revelation 15:4), Across Tribes Worship was birthed as the official and contemporary worship band of Across Tribes Missionary Society, founded by Ev. Aidefa Agburu and Dr. Samuel Lawrence. Hailing from Makurdi, Benue state Nigeria, our Worshippers are currently working on a debut ('Waiting Room') to be released in a short while.
'Waiting Room', a soul-stirring song that instills hope and builds faith, echoing the heartbeat of Psalms 22:27 “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.”
As a key part of the Across Tribes Missionary Society, this dynamic team also leads the choir during the Glory Awakening Crusades (GAC), bringing the presence of God to the multitudes and ushering them into an atmosphere of worship and revival.

The Glory Awakening Crusades - GAC, inspired by the prophetic words of Isaiah 60:1 and Psalm 110:3, are a divine mandate to awaken faith in territories where the enemy's stronghold is evident in the lives of the people. We seek to liberate minds held captive by darkness by the power of the Word and bring individuals into a deeper, life-transforming relationship with God. Through the manifestation of God's power in signs, wonders, healings and miracles, we aim to glorify the Lord's name and advance His kingdom in their lives.
The Glory Awakening Crusades, inspired by the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20, are a pivotal part of Across Tribes Revivals Campaign. This large-scale evangelistic initiative seeks to create an atmosphere of spiritual revival and renewal, as prophesied in Habakkuk 2:14, where "the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord."
In obedience to Christ's command to "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19), the Glory Awakening Crusades target diverse tribes and ethnic groups, showcasing the Gospel's power to unite people across cultural boundaries, as declared in Galatians 3:28, "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
During these crusades, various activities are organized to engage and impact local communities, in line with Jesus' ministry described in Matthew 9:35, where He "went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness."
We work with local pastors and para-ministry leaders as point men, joining forces with our crusade Director and our Founder, God’s servant Missionary Evangelist Aidefa Agburu (A.A).
The gatherings are characterized by vibrant worship, fervent prayer, and passionate preaching. The aim is to create an atmosphere where people can encounter God in a profound and life-changing way. Many individuals come seeking answers, healing, and deliverance, and the Glory Awakening Crusades provide a platform for them to experience the transforming power of God firsthand.

The Full History of ATMS
In the city of Makurdi, Benue State, on September 6th, 2015, the Lord spoke through a prophetic word, calling Missionary Evangelist Aidefa Agburu to become a mighty soul winner, renowned across the nations, as written in Matthew 28:19-20. The vision was for an appointed time, and Evangelist Aidefa was instructed to wait patiently, trusting in the Lord's faithfulness.
After four years of faithful waiting, trusting, and personal evangelistic efforts, the Lord spoke again in 2017, this time concerning a World Tour, spreading the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth, as recorded in Acts 1:8.
On November 25, 2019, the ministry was officially incorporated, marking a significant milestone in the fulfillment of the divine mandate. Later that year, Evangelist Agburu had a life-transforming encounter, leading him to submit to the leadership of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, under the guidance of Dr. Paul Enenche.
Dr. Enenche and his wife prayerfully imparted blessings upon Evangelist Agburu, commissioning him to fulfill his ministry (Matthew 9:38). On Good Friday, April 10, 2020, despite the global pandemic, the Lord instructed Evangelist to launch a soul-winning outreach, demonstrating the power of obedience and faith, as seen in Hebrews 11:8.
After the outreach, he took time to thank the Lord for the souls won and the incredible healings that took place. After the exercise, in an encounter, the Lord presented him with what appeared to be a promotion letter, saying, "You have done very well…" This divine affirmation echoed the biblical principle of God's approval. “For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends” 2 Corinthians 10:18
With the prophetic push from Dr. Paul Enenche, the ministry witnessed rapid growth, extending to Across Tribes Discipleship Centre (ATDC) in various regions of Pakistan from May 2022. Prior to this, Across Tribes Missionary Society had been faithfully reaching out to villages and inner cities for outreach. However, in a few months' time, the Lord gave a new instruction to Evangelist Aidefa, commissioning him to begin open-air crusades, thereby expanding the ministry's reach. And thus, the Glory Awakening Crusades (GAC) campaign was born, marked by the mighty move of God, with instant healings, deliverances, and harvest of souls, demonstrating the power of obedience to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
Before the second GAC, Evangelist Agburu faced a financial crisis, prompting a fleeting thought about borrowing for the crusade. However, he immediately dismissed the idea, as it contradicted his principles. The Lord, in His sovereignty, instructed Evangelist Agburu's twin sister in a different location via a dream of the night to convey a message, saying, "Tell Macrae not to borrow for my crusade…" This divine instruction underscored the biblical principle of trusting in God's provision, as stated in Philippians 4:19.
To the glory of God, the crusade was held successfully and God has been ever faithful in raising financial partners and Co-laborers around the world for His work to ensure his work doesn't suffer. God's work, done in God's way, will never lack God's supply, as stated in Psalm 37:3-5.
In November, Evangelist Agburu attended a meeting where Pastor Promise Etubi singled him out, making clear the council of God concerning the worldwide scope and vision of Across Tribes Missionary Society.
Evangelist A.A was divinely instructed to hold the 4th quarter GAC at Aliade. During the event, a day before his birthday, he had an encounter where the Lord took him to Abuja, showing him a place and saying, "I need you here." In obedience to the command, Evangelist Agburu relocated from Makurdi to Abuja on February 12, 2025 after being impacted and released by Pastor Fidelis and Mrs. Dorathy Alika (Regionals pastors DIGC North Central) - Dunamis Makurdi Central, where he served faithfully as a youth church leader and a counselor for years.
As Evangelist A.A looked back on his journey, he realized that progress in God's kingdom isn't measured by physical relocation or from a village to a city, but by staying centered in God's will. He noted that sometimes, advancement means remaining steadfast in one's current assignment, trusting in God's sovereignty. Instead of moving without God’s approval.
With this understanding, Across Tribes Missionary Society is now poised to continue fulfilling its divine mandate, reunifying humanity with their eternal purpose. The ministry is expanding its outreach, touching lives in schools, workplaces, and rural villages, while equipping missionaries, training individuals, and hosting mass crusades, all with the goal of restoring creation to its original divine purpose (Ephesians 2:10).
