Cleric calls for intensification of evangelism

The founder of the Word of Restoration Assembly, Enugu and a life coach, Rev. Douglas Chukwueke, has called on Christians to intensify their efforts in evangelism.
Douglas made this call in Enugu at his 50th birthday celebration and book presentation. He said that now is the best time to put all the time and resources to populate the kingdom of God.
He also admonished Nigerians to continue trusting God to help them out of the current challenges.
He said: “As we seek to fulfill the work of God in our hands before Jesus comes, God has progressively given us various directions of impacting the lives of people.
“Most significantly is the Disciple Making Movement.
“By this revelation, God has given us a 10 million-souls discipleship project for the next 20 years.”
Douglas also encouraged Christians to shun worldliness and embrace godliness.
Rev. Douglas, who is the Director of Strategic Planning of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Enugu State chapter, but currently on a missionary work in the United States, is also the initiator of Gospel Youth Ministries International, Restoration Leadership Development Institute and the founding member of Nekede Believers’ Association.
He was born on September 19, 1966 to the family of Lilai and Ezinne Roseline Chukwueke of Umuejiechi Umualum Nekede, Owerri, Imo State of Nigeria.
He had his primary and secondary education in Enugu and Owerri.
He attended the Nigerian Railway Corporation Technology School, Zaria in Kaduna State and Institute of Technology, Enugu, where he studied Accountancy.
Douglas worked with the Nigerian Railway Corporation as a technical officer and with Monte Christo Optical Services Limited as a manager.
While he was working with the Railways, he had an encounter with the Holy Spirit that led to the birth of Gospel Youth Ministries International.
At that time, he did so many evangelistic revival outreach programmes in Jos, Plateau State and other neighbouring towns in the North Central region of the country.
On returning from Kaduna to Enugu, Douglas’s ministry to the youths backed by the Holy Spirit, signs and wonders, revival and great spiritual awakening was very effective in the Coal City.
In recognition of his contributions to humanity and the church, Kingsway University Des Moines, Iowa, USA awarded him an honorary doctorate degree in church administration and management.
Rev. Douglas is married to Pastor Gloria Tochukwu Chukwueke and they are blessed with three children – Hosanna, Shalom and Charis.
