Pastor Evelyn Onyisi Joshua, wife of the late Prophet TB Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) has assured Nigerian youths of the commitment of the church to building a strong, Godly foundation for them.
Evelyn Joshua who is now the head of SCOAN made the statement on Sunday, at the church’s headquarters at Ikotun, Lagos, June 5, 2022, during the 1st Anniversary celebration of the transition to glory of the Founder of the church, Prophet TB Joshua.
She said “We are equally committed to building a strong, Godly foundation for the youth whom we call ‘The Seed of Tomorrow’ through the Education Department, we hope to reach the youths through our partners and members all over the world. We are equally determined to progressively mobilise our women and groups in the ministry towards a special relationship with Christ”.
Evelyn Joshua also maintained that work on the ARIGIDI Mountain project will soon commence, “By the grace of God, soon work will be in progress. That is one of Prophet TB Joshua’s dream projects.” She added that the SCOAN Mountain is an assured place of meeting God through prayers. “Our partners and members have not stopped visiting the site in order to encounter God, we give glory to the name of the lord for the marvelous miracles and deliverances taking place every moment at the mountain.”
Pastor Joshua who was specially thankful to SCOAN family, Emmanuel TV partners all over the world, lovers of faith, friends of the ministry, went memory lane saying, “A year today our heart was broken, my heart was broken because I knew that in a few hours I would be called that name no woman wants to bear in a hurry, ‘a widow’…but I thank God for His grace upon me.
“A year ago, our dearest prophet, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua finished his race and left us all in a blaze of glory. Of course as humans we wept, we wailed, we worried. I did all. But today we have gathered here not to mourn but to return all the glory to the father for thus far. He has been with us, His mercy, grace and favour which stand sure in our lives,” she stated.
In her speech, Pastor Evelyn Joshua also said that the church is celebrating a world acknowledged man of prayer, a humble servant of God, a mentor to millions across the globe, a friend to widows and orphans, a benefactor to the needy, a cross generational role model and hardworking man whose life reflects the pursuit of the advancement of God’s kingdom through the numerous crusades, sermons, acts of Charity, publications and activities of the Emmanuel TV team and partners.
She said the ship of the ministry is being steered by the God of Prophet TB Joshua, calling God ‘the spiritual spinal cord that held the church’ “He is the spiritual spinal cord of the ministry and we are profoundly proud of His mighty name, for what He has kept doing for us in all ramifications.”
The occasion was graced by the crème de la crème in Christendom all over the world including Pastor Freyle from Columbia; Bishop Steven Ogedengbe of Nigeria; William Ghaltas from Bethlehem; Obispo Elvis of Dominica Republic; Bishop Trevor Williamson and his wife from Bahamas, Pastor Bernard Mulder from South Africa; Pastor Ayoab Kara from Israel; among other anointed men of God.
