Aba agog as Pastor Kumuyi starts five-day global crusade

• Speaks on proliferation of churches

ABA, the commercial nerve centre of Abia State was agog yesterday as the General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church (DLBC), Dr Williams Folorunso Williams commenced a five-day global crusade in the city.

The cleric, who arrived with his wife, Esther, yesterday for the programme tagged: “Glorious Transformation Through Christ”, beckoned on the people to attain the crusade and interact with God.

He was received by the five SouthEast States DLBC Pastors, Media Director, Pastor Edward Ogude, Abia State Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) Chairmen, Bishops Ojo Uduma and Chikezie Elekwa respectively.

The crusade, which began yesterday evening at the premises of Aba Mega Hall along Enugu-Umuahia-Aba- Port Harcourt expressway, Osisioma, was organised by DLBC in conjunction with CAN and PFN will be held between April 25 and 30.

Pastor Kumuyi expressed optimism that God would attend to their various points of needs during the crusade, which will feature salvation, healing, deliverance, ministers’ conference and special session for youths. He pointed out that evangelism is God’s mandate, stressing that God has always fully identified with it.

“Hence, there would be a harvest of miracles and transformation during the programme and lives are being changed. We are seeing tremendous things. We never expected the amount of healings we saw in Nigeria, Africa and beyond,” he said.

Speaking with newsmen shortly after his arrival, Pastor Kumuyi likened the proliferation of churches to that of universities across the country.According to him, establishment of churches and universities/schools were statutorily allowed in the country, adding that the choice of worshiping and schooling in them, remains the discretion of the citizenry. He, however, stressed the need for operators to meet the set standards to ensure peaceful, spiritual and educational development of the society.

The cleric added that CAN, PFN and others are working towards synergising and unifying operations without interfering with their individual’s modus operandi.
