CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF IGBO MINISTERS (CAIM)
2024 WORLD IGBO PRAYER SUMMIT SCHEDULED TO HOLD IN UMUAHIA, ABIA STATE
The Christian Association of Igbo Ministers (CAIM) worldwide is pleased to announce the upcoming World Igbo Prayer Summit (WIPS) Abia 2024, which will be held in Umuahia, Abia State capital, from Wednesday, 13th to Friday, 16th August 2024.
The venue is Okpara Auditorium, by Government House, Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria . The theme of this year’s edition is: “Come Now, Let Us Reason Together” (Isaiah 1: 18).
The Christian Association of Igbo Ministers (CAIM) is an association of God-fearing, Spirit-filled ministers of God of Igbo extraction who have the burden and passion to pray for Ndigbo and Alaigbo. The Association which started in 2016 has branches in 15 States in Nigeria, 3 nations in West Africa, including Republic of Benin, Ghana and Togo. We also have branches in the United States of America and Hong Kong/Asia.
The maiden edition of WIPS was held in Lagos in 2016. Between 2017 and 2019, other editions were held in quick succession in Anambra State, United States of America, Togo, Ebonyi, and Enugu. As a result of security challenges, subsequent Summits were decentralized and held in the various Chapters between 2020 to 2023.
This year’s WIPS which is the 11th edition will be held centrally in Abia State under the chairmanship of Apostle Paul Harrison. The host State Coordinator is Pastor (Barr.) Martin Okereafor while the Local Organising Committee Secretary is Apostle Nwachukwu Simon. The budget for the Summit is N50 million Naira.
The highlights of the 2024 WIPS will include word ministration by prominent ministers of God, fervent intercessory prayers for Ndigbo and Alaigbo and the nation in general. It will be an occasion for the graduation ceremony of the graduate and post-graduate students of the University of Leadership and Sound Doctrines (ULS), USA. It will also be an opportunity to honour the founding fathers and founding members of CAIM.
Also, International Ministerial Licence, CAIM Membership ID Card and CAIM Chaplaincy Certificate will be issued to qualified beneficiaries. There will also be free medical check-ups and free distribution of eye glasses, et cetera.
Delegates from the United States of America, the West Coast and all the State Chapters in Nigeria are expected to attend. Invited Fathers of Faith, prominent ministers of God, traditional rulers, political and business elite of Igbo extraction and other stakeholders are expected to grace the occasion.
It is our prayer that the presence and power of God will be mighty throughout the Summit for the edification and blessings of all the participants.
Signed:
Apostle (Dr.) Solomon Chukwuemeka Okorie,
International President, CAIM
