Ajayi Crowther Choir Set To Release New Book On The Slave Trade

The Choir of Bishop Ajayi Crowther Memorial Anglican Church (BACMAC), located in Gowon Estate, Lagos State, and led by Sir Kelechi Agu, is preparing to release a music book that narrates the story of the slave trade, using Bishop Ajayi Crowther as a focal point.
Titled Samuel Ajayi Crowther: The Slave Trade, this 25-chapter book provides an in-depth exploration of the slave trade while offering insights into the life of Ajayi Crowther, the first African Bishop recognized for his significant contributions to evangelism.
Ajayi Crowther is primarily known for his work in translating the Bible from English to Yoruba.
In a statement made on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, Agu explained that this collection was created out of the BACMAC choir’s desire to spread the gospel and honor the legacies of men of faith who have passed on.
“The book is inspired by the extraordinary life and witness of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther. It reflects his journey from birth and enslavement to redemption, consecration, and missionary impact. It offers a musical reflection on his experiences while shedding light on often-overlooked aspects of the transatlantic slave trade and God’s sovereign grace throughout,” he said.
Agu noted that the work is unique, as it presents lesser-known stories about Ajayi Crowther. He emphasized that research for the book involved extensive travel and digging into archives to uncover uncommon information. For instance, many are unaware of Crowther’s family life or that his wife was also a slave, originally named Ashana before she was given the name Susan.
He further stated that the book serves a dual purpose as both an academic work and a musical compilation. It combines literature and music, with each chapter featuring a narrative followed by corresponding musical pieces.
“For every chapter, there is literature telling the story, followed by music that illustrates the narrative,” Agu said.
While praising Ajayi Crowther’s contributions, Agu emphasized that he was a remarkable figure deserving of ongoing celebration.
“Ajayi Crowther embodies the story of the slave trade. However, beyond that, he played a pivotal role in consolidating the Christian faith in Africa. His arrival made it easier for the gospel to resonate with Africans,” he noted.
He also highlighted Crowther’s innovative contributions to the Anglican Church, mentioning that he introduced the use of drums in worship, which nearly led to his ostracism.
The book, which is dedicated to the Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Lagos, Rev. James Odedeji, will be officially released at a press conference on Saturday, August 2, 2025.
“It will be available for purchase online and subsequently launched at various locations, including BACMAC and the Diocese of Lagos West. It will also be presented to the Primate of the Church of Nigeria, The Most Revd Henry Ndukuba,” Agu added.
This book marks the first music book produced by the BACMAC choir, which has previously performed works such as G.F. Handel’s Messiah (Parts 1-3) and John Steiner’s Crucifixion.
BACMAC Choir has built an international reputation, bringing Nigerian music to global platforms. They host an annual music festival and have consistently represented Nigeria in various choral events across Africa and beyond. Notably, they represented Nigeria at the Africa Choral Gospel Championship in Rwanda in 2020, winning two silver medals, and participated in “Africa Sings” in Togo (2021) and Benin Republic (2022). Additionally, they hosted the Church Music Convocation and Festival in Africa in 2023, drawing choirs from over 14 African nations to celebrate through hymns, chants, and classical anthems

68 Nations Gather at Dunamis Glory Dome for 2025 Flaming Fire Conference

The 2025 International Ministers Flaming Fire Conference has drawn thousands of worshippers, church leaders, and delegates from more than 68 nations to the Glory Dome, headquarters of Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), Abuja.
The week-long global convocation, themed “Territorial Dominion,” began on August 26 and will climax with a grand thanksgiving service on August 31. Among the nations represented are the United States, United Kingdom, China, India, Russia, Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa, Australia, Malawi, Japan, and many others.

Pastor Paul Enenche and his family
The international ministers gracing the platform alongside hosts Dr. Paul and Dr. Becky Paul-Enenche include Dr. Bill Winston (USA), Bishop Dag Heward-Mills (Ghana), Steven Brooks (USA), Chioma Jesus (Nigeria), Michelle Benedek (USA), and several others.
The opening night was marked by a colourful parade of nations, with delegates greeting the congregation in their native languages before joining in a collective prayer session for the nations.
In his opening message, Dr. Paul Enenche expounded on the theme, recalling the biblical story of Philip in Samaria.
“Every entity in Samaria, whether spiritual or physical, knew that something had shifted because Philip had arrived,” he declared.
Challenging ministers, he asked: “When last did you enter a place and heaven and hell recognised your arrival?”
Dr. Enenche taught that persecution often opens doors for divine visitation.
> “Whenever the devil does his worst, God sets the stage for His best. Fresh battles attract fresh mantles,” he said.
He identified three forces behind Philip’s impact—the Spirit, the Word, and Power—noting that effective ministry is not in titles or advertisement but in the manifestation of God’s presence.
“You don’t need a poster if you carry power. The proof of ministry is not advertisement but manifestation,” he told a roaring congregation.
The conference has since featured daily morning and evening sessions, including teaching, prayer, impartation, and worship.
On Day 3, Dr. Bill Winston preached on “Living from the Inside Out” and later ministered at the vigil on “Growing Up, the Sons of God,” drawing from Romans 8:19 and Hebrews 5:12-14. Using a practical illustration, he remarked:
“I thought I was Superman whenever I wore a Superman shirt—I felt stronger. So how much more when you put on Christ? The enemy is under our feet.”
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills brought a strong evangelistic and healing campaign on Day 4, teaching on Matthew 16:18 about faithfulness in building the Church of Christ.
The high point was the World, Worship, and Wonders Night, when the Glory Dome overflowed beyond capacity, with thousands worshipping both inside and outside the massive auditorium. The electrifying atmosphere of worship, Word, and miracles marked what many described as a historic visitation.
As the gathering enters its final sessions, ministers and believers alike testify to a renewed sense of power, presence, and purpose for global territorial dominion.

Olukoya Ordains 5,000 Pastors at MFM Global Ministers Conference

The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Worldwide, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, has ordained 5,000 men and women as pastors during the 2025 Global Ministers Conference.
The ordination, which took place at the Prayer City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, was the climax of the four-day conference themed “The Message, the Messenger and the Power.”
Addressing the new pastors before the Sunday service, Olukoya urged them to remain dedicated to their calling and shun rebellion, describing it as a “killer.” He cited the biblical example of Absalom, who rebelled against his father, King David, but died on the battlefield.
The cleric also warned against self-ordination and questioned the authenticity of some who parade themselves as “general overseers, papas, and superintendents” on the internet.
“You are ordained today; whose anointing are you carrying — the oil of God or of man? If it is men’s, you better back out now. Only God can call and ordain you,” Olukoya said.
He further charged the newly ordained pastors not to oppress church members but to be diligent and faithful in their service.
“From today, you shall not be the same person again,” he declared.

From Barefoot Village Boy to Global Spiritual Leader: Adeboye Inspires at Church’s 50th Anniversary

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has shared a moving account of his journey from barefoot days in secondary school to becoming one of the most influential Christian leaders in the world.
Speaking at the 50th anniversary celebration of the All Christians Fellowship Mission (ACFM) in Abuja, Adeboye reflected on his humble beginnings in a village so small it wasn’t on Nigeria’s map. He recalled seasons when faith was his only currency, yet God’s faithfulness never failed.
“Your promotion is not in the hand of man. Your promotion is in the hand of God,” Adeboye told the congregation, urging Nigerians not to define themselves by present hardships but to trust God as the ultimate promoter.
The service was also a celebration of ACFM’s remarkable journey from a modest “batcher” to a global mission with churches across Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, and Burkina Faso. Its founder, Rev. Williams Okoye, described the theme, “God Our Helper” (1 Samuel 7:12), as both timely and fitting.
Guests, including former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim and Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship leader Ifeanyi Odedo, shared heartfelt testimonies of how the church shaped their lives, faith, and public service.
For Pastor Adeboye, the day was more than an anniversary—it was living proof that no beginning is too small for God to transform into greatness.
