Anniversary: Dunamis Church Recalls Early Skepticism and Success

On the 30th anniversary of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Pastor Paul Enenche, the church’s leader, has shared insights on the skepticism the church faced when it was first established. In an interview with Premium Times Nigeria, Enenche recalled that when the church began, many people doubted its survival and potential for success. He said, ‘When this ministry started, many people didn’t give us any chance of survival, any chance of anything. Some wrote us off from scratch. And I don’t know why human beings think that they can predict a person’s future, how they think in their minds!’ The church, which began in Abuja, has grown significantly since its inception and is now a prominent religious institution in Nigeria.

According to Enenche, the skepticism they faced only fueled their determination to succeed. He further stated, ‘At one point, they said it was only strugglers, the masses, not classes but masses that are members.’ Despite the initial doubts, the church has thrived and continues to make a positive impact in the lives of its congregation.

The success of Dunamis International Gospel Centre serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and faith. As the church celebrates its 30th anniversary, it remains a beacon of hope and inspiration for many Nigerians.
