Abstract

This paper examines the effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Christian Missions in Lagos. It is an important aspect of Lagos history yet to receive adequate knowledge production. Hence, it has compelled a focused study of this subject. Christian Missions in Lagos have been actively involved in prayers, evangelism, and humanitarian activities but these activities were temporarily halted by the dreaded coronavirus-19 pandemic (COVID-19) which brought deaths and lockdown. Using mainly primary and secondary sources, photographs, and radio documentaries to substantiate its claim, this paper demonstrates that the pandemic did not only disrupt religious gatherings, Mission Schools, collection of tithes, but also humanitarian aid. The study recommends a sustained ‘new normal’ in Christian Missions and culture of virtual interactions to complement physical assembly.
