FAITH CLINIC: One legacy out of many!

One of the largest denominations in Nigeria has, for many years, adopted the tag "Faith Clinic" for their weekly prayer and deliverance service. Is this a coincidence or does it have something to do with Bro. Ibe and Faith Clinic Ibadan?

This is how it happened. As God caused the news of His move in Faith Clinic to spread throughout Ibadan and its surroundings, it became obvious that so many people were suffering from demonic oppression and needed deliverance. Without any adverts, the crowds kept coming. What accompanied this influx of people was the need for more labourers. This is exactly how Jesus viewed the harvest field in His day - there were a lot of people that needed ministry but very few labourers to minister to them.

Gradually, God brought faithful labourers to Faith Clinic. He also led the team to start a Training School to equip believers in the Faith and raise more labourers who could competently counsel and pray for people. Towards this same end, a team of teachers began to visit other churches to teach congregations on the subject of deliverance and help raise up teams for the church. Remember, in the early years, Faith Clinic was a "para-church ministry". The ministry sought to bless God's people and His Church.

Everywhere the teachers went, the same miracles and manifestations that were witnessed in Faith Clinic followed them. It was the impact of what God did through the teachings in many of the congregations of this major denomination that led to the adoption of the tag "Faith Clinic" for one of their weekly services. To God be all the glory for this enduring legacy!
