Pastor William Kumuyi, founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has arrived in Abuja for a six-day Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK), with prayers expected to focus on spiritual renewal and solutions to societal challenges, including banditry and kidnapping.
Crusade Targets Insecurity and National Challenges
Pastor Edison Daminabo, the Federal Capital Territory State Overseer of the church, spoke on behalf of Pastor Kumuyi during a media briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, June 17. He expressed confidence that the crusade would contribute to positive change amid concerns about insecurity and banditry in Nigeria. “Fire is coming, fire burns, burns insecurity, burn government, burn everything negative. That’s why it’s coming,” Daminabo said. He added that the church believes the programme would bring a new phase of hope and transformation to Nigeria and beyond.
Kumuyi Arrives in Abuja, Seeks Divine Intervention
Kumuyi arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the early hours of Wednesday, June 24, and spoke with journalists shortly after his arrival. The crusade, themed “Christ Wonder Working Power,” began at the Deeper Life Bible Church, Kado, Abuja, from June 24 to 25, before moving to the Moshood Abiola National Stadium from June 26 to 29. The cleric said the programme was not about human ability but about seeking God’s intervention in addressing challenges facing the world. “God has prospered the world, as I said, this is God at work, this is not man, it's not a one-man show, what can man do in all the millions of problems we have in the world, and now we are here in Abuja and FCT,” Kumuyi said.
Prayers and Faith for Divine Solutions
Kumuyi added that the crusade was built around prayers and faith that solutions would come through divine intervention. “We are planning big, living big, and talking big but as we pray, we are trusting the Lord that He is the one to bring solutions and answer to the prayers we pray,” he said.
Pastor Urges Leaders to Seek God’s Guidance
Kumuyi said Nigeria’s challenges require collective efforts and divine direction, urging leaders and policymakers to consider spiritual guidance in addressing national issues. He expressed confidence that allowing God to lead decision-making processes would help create a better society. The Abuja crusade marks one of Kumuyi’s major GCK programmes after he clocked 85 years on June 6, 2026. He is also expected to hold similar events in Gboko and Otukpo, Benue State.
