Dunamis Church celebrated its 30‑year anniversary this week, with founder Pastor Enenche using the milestone to look back on the ministry’s humble beginnings and the skepticism it faced.
“When this ministry started, many people didn’t give us any chance of survival, any chance of anything. Some wrote us off from scratch,” Enenche told reporters, recalling the early doubts that surrounded the fledgling congregation.
“I don’t know why human beings think that they can predict a person’s future, how they think in their minds! At one point, they said it was only strugglers, the masses, not classes but masses that are members.”
Enenche noted that critics dismissed the church as a gathering of “strugglers” and “the masses,” implying that it would never attract a broader or more affluent following.
Despite those early assessments, the ministry has endured and expanded over three decades, becoming a notable presence in Nigeria’s vibrant Pentecostal landscape, where new churches often encounter similar doubts.
Reflecting on the anniversary, Enenche emphasized perseverance, urging believers not to let others’ predictions dictate their future, and reaffirming the church’s commitment to its original mission.
