If there were not many churches things would have been worse – Kumuyi

Owerri – The General Overseer, Deeper
Life Christian Church, Pastor William
Kumuyi, on Friday urged all Nigerians to
support the security agencies who were
tackling the security challenge facing the
nation.
Kumuyi spoke at a press briefing held at
the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Imo
Council Secretariat, to announce the
crusade of the church, holding between
March 7 and March 10 in Owerri.
He maintained that insecurity was not
limited to Nigeria alone, but had become
a global challenge.
"Nigerians should all join hands to support
the government and the security agencies
in their efforts to check the spate of
insecurity in the country,'' he said.
Kumuyi said that the crusade would
attract over 15, 000 people from all walks
of life and denominations.
According to him, the power of God will
be manifest at the crusade where there
will be signs and wonders.
"This programme is organised for the
people of the South-East. It will be a
supernatural encounter as the gathering
is unto God and not unto man," he said.
Kumuyi said that the church, which
started as a small gathering in a
University in 1973, had grown to have
many branches in Nigeria and across the
African continent.
According to him, testimonies abound of
people whose lives have been changed
and who have been healed by God
through the Ministry.
He called on those attending the crusade
to have faith in God.
On why crimes were on the increase in
Nigeria despite the proliferation of
churches, he said that the situation would
have been worse if there were not many
churches. (NAN)
