OUR HISTORY

HISTORY OF BELIEVERS' FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATERS ASSEMBLY INT'L

Sometime around the month of August 2010, the Lord impressed on my heart to start a church-based ministry. It was a difficult task to accept. I had doubts, fears and a whole lot of misgivings. By the mercies of God, I had had the privilege of working with quite a number of ministries and ministers. I knew the challenges that were always involved. I decided to share with my husband, Dr. Sunday Ochenjele. He told me he knew God had a work for me to do but he wanted the Lord to tell me Himself.

That was indeed a great encouragement. It was one of my strongest confirmations. My husband is not one given to trivialities nor flattery. Armed with that confirmation, I suggested we start with a forty (40) days fast. We began the fast in September and ended in October 2010. The ministry was inaugurated on the 16th October 2010.

Our first service was held in our living room. My husband and children were in the attendance. We had a horn speaker then. Three little children, a boy and two girls came in to join us.

Bro. precious was the first adult to join us. Later, the living room became too small for us. Our car park was converted to a church hall. We were worshipping in the converted car park until November 2014, when we moved to the church permanent site at A.V.M Monday Morgan Street (behind Otukpo Prisons, Otukpo Benue State). -- [Pst.Mrs. Mary Ochenjele]
