THE GENESIS
In the Month of May, 1996 in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, Dr Paul was at a crossroad as to what next to do with his life. He had several attractive choices:
• To relocate to a prestigious University in London with his beautiful wife, who is also a Medical Doctor, to work and simultaneously advance their Medical Profession
• To take two other attractive Medical appointments within the country
• Or to keep their jobs in the two different hospitals where he and his wife worked, of which they were each given 3 bedroom flats in the hospitals’ staff quarters.

• Or to keep their jobs in the two different hospitals where he and his wife worked, of which they were each given 3 bedroom flats in the hospitals’ staff quarters.
As attractive and promising as the future seemed, he was overcome by an unusual level of restlessness in the spirit. And so on the 28th of May, 1996, he journeyed to a mountainous area in the outskirts of Jos, to be alone with the Master of the Universe, Who has the master plan of his life. After three days of fasting, he came down from the mountain with a clear vision of exactly what he was to do with his life.
The Lord asked him to put aside his Medical Certificate and “go to the city of Abuja and start a gospel outreach that will be characterized with a heavy Presence of God to heal, save and deliver people; a church that will restore human destiny and dignity.”

On getting home, his young wife, who was nursing their few-months old first baby had also taken out time to do a six to six fast, and pray for her husband. And the Spirit of God Who is not an author of confusion, told her exactly what He had told her husband on the mountain, thus, confirming their call.
FROM REVELATION TO REALITY:
In the Month of November 1996 (six months after the call in May), Dr Paul and his ever sub-missive and highly supportive wife, Dr Becky Enenche, left their jobs, relatives, Medical career and every plan they had made for their lives and moved to Abuja, a land where they knew nobody. But like the Biblical Abraham, obeying the Lord was paramount to them, and so, they proceeded despite external discouragements, to commence the instruction given to them.
