Our motto
Go for Christ
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”
Matthew 28:19-20
His journey
A life of faith and service
Evangelist Dr. Amos Misalai Usehunya was raised in a Christian home. His parents, the late Mr. Misalai Akuki and the late Sa’ada Misalai, were among the first Christian converts in the Karmo Oguwa community. He was baptized and married at Emmanuel Anglican Church, Karmo-Oguwa.
In 2002, while attending the Fellowship of Christian Students (FCS) at the College of Education, Akwanga, he became born again through a message by Evangelist Okereke. He served in the fellowship as a witness team leader and Sunday school teacher.
Reflecting on trials and rejection along his journey, he credits God’s faithfulness and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit for helping him persevere. His counsel is to love all, respect everyone, remain humble and keep away from sin.
