| Call and Training | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
A call to preach is a call to prepare, they say. This was very true in the life of Rev. Edumoh. He was called to ministry in 1981. Rev. Edumoh grew in the Lord at a very high rate. He answered the call and the Lord opened the door for his training at the Full Gospel School of Theology, Abak, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, where he bagged a Diploma in Theology. Rev. Edumoh gained admission into Calvary College of Theology for an Advanced Diploma course. Circumstances prevailed over his completion of the program. He later enrolled at Wesley International Bible College now Wesley International Theological Seminary, Owerri Nigeria for a Bachelors degree in Theology which he completed in 1990. This man of God gained admission to Wesley Biblical Seminary, Jackson MS, USA, in 1992 and bagged a Masters of Arts in Christian Education degree in 1994 and finally returned to Nigeria. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ministry and a call to Partnership | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
By the special grace of God, Rev. Edumoh has been called into the ministry as a Prophet and Teacher. This has been proven over the years as the Lord used him at the different places and at different times. | When he completed his diploma program in 1984, he established a Bible College for Mount Zion Mission his late fathers church. He became the Dean of the school for four years before going to the Calvary College of Theology in Port Harcourt, Nigeria for further studies. In 1988, Rev. Gary Maxey of then Evangelical Bible Mission with headquarters in Florida invited Rev. Edumoh to assist in the establishment of a new Bible College in Imo State of Nigeria. He thus became the pioneer Registrar of Wesley International Bible College, Owerri Nigeria, he led in the process of the relationship that lead to the affiliation of the College to the University of Nigeria Nsukka. He became the first Nigerian to be appointed Vice Provost of the College in 1992. This servant of God was in the pioneering team of the Africa Bible Church now Bible Church of Nigeria. In 1994 on returns from the US, in the heat of a crisis at his former place of work. He could not contain with the philosophy that prevailed at that time and decided to go home to his village to wait on the Lord when he heard the Lord calling him to go to Calabar, in the Cross River state of Nigeria to establish a Bible college where he will prepare the end time army for the end time battle. Rev. Edumoh who is always ready to obey God promptly moved his family to Calabar, precisely on the 8th of September, 1994. It is at this time the Grace Bible Institute and Seminary came to be born. Grace Bible Institute and Seminary has therefore been his brain child, born out of burden and desire to educate the pulpit of Nigeria and indeed of Africa. The ministry of Rev. Edumoh is an educational Ministry to bring sound biblical education to the church. It is based on this that the Wholesome Words Mission International was established to aid in helping the church change the wolrd through wholesome education. Grace Bible Institute and Seminary (GBIS) and Wholesome Words Mission International Inc. (WWOMI) are working together and are making a lot of impact in affecting the lives of people positively for the kingdom of God. These ministries are advocates and proponents of the Bible standard of Holiness which is not legalistic, neither is it hollow materialism. But a combination of Purity and Power, living and service. Rev. Edumoh Has been leading the ministries for 5 years now and GBIS has on enrollment over 70 students, while over 70 have passed out of the school with fire in their bones for ministry.
