ARROW OF DELIVERANCE MINISTRIES STORY

When Pastor Joseph M Nwunuji arrived in Takum 20th October 1996 as was instructed by the Lord, all he had was a bag. The young Pastor dream of planting a church that will seat five thousand true worshippers and that the church would be a place where the hurt, the depressed, the confused can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness and encouragement
In an encounter on the 27th August 1997, The Lord spoke to my heart “You Are My Arrow Of Deliverance born to win (2Kings 13:14-17, 1John 5:4) Hence the name coined “ARROW OF DELIVERANCE MINISTRIES aka VICTORY CHAPEL”. On18th October 1998 Arrow of Deliverance Ministries Takum held its very first public Service and five people showed up. God has continued to expand the church influence since then. To Him be praise forever. Amen.
