Mounts nationwide campaign to reach all 774 Local Government Areas as Nigeria celebrates its 66th Independence Anniversary
ReachOut Nigeria with Rhapsody of Realities is marking its 20th Edition with its biggest nationwide campaign yet, as 100 million copies of Rhapsody of Realities are set for distribution across Nigeria under the theme, “Celebrating 20 Years of Impact, Taking Rhapsody to Every Man’s World.”
The milestone coincides with Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary and will see Rhapsody of Realities distributed across all 774 Local Government Areas of Nigeria, reaching adults, youths, teenagers, children and people with accessibility needs in cities, towns, villages and hinterlands.
The 20th Edition builds on a movement that began in 2007 with a vision to inspire hope, promote patriotism and empower Nigerians with the transforming message of God’s Word.
Over the years, ReachOut Nigeria has grown beyond the mass distribution of Rhapsody of Realities into a nationwide movement combining evangelism with humanitarian and community-development initiatives. Its impact has included potable-water projects, support for schools and libraries, healthcare interventions, renovations and support for public institutions, and numerous projects addressing the needs of communities across Nigeria.
At the heart of the campaign is Rhapsody of Realities, authored by Rev. Dr. Chris Oyakhilome, DSc., DSc., DD. Available today in 8,123 languages and more than 4,000 dialects, the devotional takes the light of God’s Word into people’s everyday worlds, bringing a message of salvation, healing, hope and victorious living. It reaches people of different ages through adult, teenage and children’s editions and through print, digital, audio, Braille and Sign Language formats.
Celebrating the 20th Edition
As part of the 20th Edition, the devotional will be distributed all over the country in Nigeria’s indigenous languages and in multiple formats, including print, digital, audio and Braille, with additional innovations designed to make the Gospel more accessible to the blind and deaf. The campaign is targeting 1,009 Nigerian languages, with 650 already represented in print. 200 boreholes will also be provided in 200 communities, alongside several other community-development projects designed to leave tangible community assets and improved lives.
Throughout October, the 20th Edition will come alive through 10 Dimensions of Impact: Crusades; Church Growth; Community Transformation; Community Reading Outreaches; Street Expressions; Conferences, Media and Exhibitions; Concerts and Praise Experiences; Champions League and Games; ReachOut Community of Practice; and ReachOut to Schools. Together, these dimensions will create multiple avenues to reach people, engage communities and deliver practical impact across the nation.
Nigerians can expect community and End-time Crusades, school outreaches, reading outreaches, carnivals, floats and processions, concerts and praise experiences, sports and youth activities, professional outreach, conferences and exhibitions, alongside the National Day of Prayer and 31 consecutive days of the ReachOut Nigeria Live Show.
The celebrations will include a special ReachOut Nigeria Symposium on October 30th, showcasing the campaign’s two-decade journey, community impact, innovations and stories of lives transformed.
From offices, shops and schools to barracks, communities and public transportation systems — including buses, trains and airplanes — the 2026 campaign is designed to take Rhapsody into every sphere of Nigerian society.
The 20th Edition represents both a celebration of what has been accomplished and a renewed commitment to ReachOut Nigeria’s founding vision: transforming lives with the Word of God while inspiring Nigerians to make tangible contributions to their communities and nation.
Twenty years. 100 million copies: Taking Rhapsody to Every Man’s World.
