Champions gather as Christ Embassy hosts international conference

By KELECHI DECA

GREAT men and women all over the world are built by words often said by Pastor Chris Oyahkilome PhD. Little wonder thousands of men and women travel from different parts of the world each year to savour the privilege of listening not only to his teachings but to witness the manifestation of the word of God in the lives of men and women; to bear witness to the outpouring of the Spirit of God unto his people, thus the yearly gathering of champions dubbed the International Pastors and Partners Conference (IPPC) of Believer's LoveWorld Inc. (a.k.a Christ Embassy). To this end, Lagos will witness an unusual gathering of great men and women from all over the world this week. In fact, most hotels in Lagos metropolis are fully booked for this one week which is an indication to the importance attached to the event by delegates from around the world.

This year's conference holds from Monday the November 17 to Saturday the November 22, 2008. The International Pastors' and Partners' Conference (IPPC) is always an awesome time in God's presence; a Holy Ghost meeting that strengthens delegates in the things of God, inspires them unto greater works for the Kingdom and celebrates them for a job well done. It is actually two conferences held within the same week. The Pastors' Conferenc is open to all Pastors within the ministry and other invited guests while the Partners' Conference is open to Partners of the BLW from all around the world. Also included is an International Exhibition for Ministry Partnership Arms and organizations. This showcases the impact and reach of the ministry around the world.
The Conference Starts with the International Pastors' Conference from Monday through Wednesday and evolves into the Partners' Conference as the Pastors' are joined by the LoveWorld Partners' on Thursday through to Saturday. The entire conference acts as a repositioning for all delegates. The BLW president Rev. Chris Oyakhilome, his wife Rev Anita Oyakhilome and other leaders of the ministry give divine insights into the word of God and the next phase of God's direction for the ministry in the coming year.

The Conference offers delegates the unique opportunity of coming in contact with a most unusual anointing for Leadership, financial growth and ministry expansion as the Man of God Rev. Chris ministers. Some underlying characteristics of the Conference include times of fellowshipping with the word and Spirit of God, symposiums, workshops, talk shows, question and answer sessions amongst others.

The highpoint of the Partners' Conference is the LoveWorld Awards Night, an extraordinary night of glamour and glitz where our Partners are celebrated and encouraged to remain steadfast in their partnerships. Preceded by a red carpet event, the LoveWorld Awards is a unique event where partners are accorded due recognition for their unwavering involvement in the ministry. A glamorous and prestigious event, a most looked forward to one at the conference. Considered one of the greatest honours in Believers' LoveWorld, recipients of the LoveWorld Awards in different categories are usually a fine mix of LoveWorld partners who have addicted themselves to the work of the BLW in different nations of the world. This glitz-filled night lends credence to Christ Embassy's organisational expertise. It is a world class must-see for anyone.

There is also a five day International Exhibition geared towards creating an awareness of the partnership opportunities available to members of the ministry and providing adequate information on the worldwide impact and influence of the partnership arms of the ministry. It also features exhibitions from some corporations within and outside the ministry. Over the years, the exhibition has witnessed increased partners' participation with over 20,000 delegates attending the 2007 exhibition.

This year, the exhibition will run from Tuesday November 18 to 22, 2008.
