Pastor Jerry Eze's Emotional Tribute to His 'Real Mum' Who Raised and Sponsored Him
In a deeply moving moment that has captured widespread attention, Pastor Jerry Eze, the founder of Stream of Joys International and convener of the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declaration, broke down in tears during a recent Sunday church service. The clergyman introduced a woman he referred to as his "real mother," highlighting her pivotal role in his upbringing and education.
Viral Video Shows Heartfelt Introduction
A viral video from the service shows Pastor Jerry Eze standing beside the woman, holding her shoulder while speaking through tears. He emotionally recounted how this kind-hearted individual raised him and sponsored his education from Senior Secondary School through university, despite facing financial challenges at times.
Pastor Eze shared that there was a period when his mother could no longer support his schooling and suggested he pursue a trade, such as tailoring or mechanics. He followed her advice and began training to become a tailor, but his life took a significant turn after he joined his church.
Divine Intervention and Support from Professor Ursula Akanwa
During the service, Pastor Eze narrated how, while reading the Bible, Professor Ursula Akanwa approached him and revealed that God had instructed her to send him back to school. This led to his foster parents speaking with his mother, who prayed and ultimately released him to the couple.
From JSS 3 until after university, Pastor Jerry Eze stayed with Professor Akanwa and her family, never lacking anything. The couple fully sponsored his education, and he credited them for much of his success, including improvements in his English language skills. At the service, he hugged the woman, who knelt to thank him for his heartfelt words.
