Economic Challenges and the Church’s Role
Nigeria continues to grapple with economic challenges, including inflation, unemployment, and currency devaluation.

Samson Azetome is particularly known for his teachings on leadership in times of crisis, and he is likely to focus on how ministers can use their influence to foster resilience, hope, and transformation within their congregations.
Societal Transformation Through Revival

The conference’s theme, “The Anointing and the Anointed”, speaks directly to the need for a renewed spiritual awakening, not just within the church, but across all sectors of society. Dr. Steve Ogan, a well-known revivalist, is expected to deliver a powerful message on the role of the church in leading this revival, emphasizing that true societal transformation begins with a spiritual awakening.
