“I was in the territory of Ghana in 2002, coming from a mission when I had the burden heavily on me.

“We were coming from Guinea and travelling towards Accra early in the morning when I felt it. I knew that what he spoke to me about in 1996 was about to manifest,” he explained.

He further said the reasons for the establishment of the church has been manifested in the lives of people and families the church has provided for and helped to get closer to God in the last 20 years.

“The first purpose of the ministry is to serve God, to evangelise and bring people to know God and serve him. The second leg is to provide necessary support to people in need so that they can have reasons to glorify God,” he added.
