International inter-Faith Ministerial Alliance has been of tremendous help to me both spiritually and inspirationally since inception,
Firstly, the prayer mountain is always refreshing and revitalizing each time we meet and pray for several issues of concern with answers.
Secondly, the lectures and the discussions which boarders mostly on evangelism and apologetics are highly insightful and impactful and it has led me to take a extra class on apologetics,
May God who brought about this platform make His grace abound for us in order to widen the scope and broadened the horizon for the actualization of its purpose.
Great blessing to us all,
Pastor Uchenna John Chukwuka
Enugu State, Nigeria.

I appreciate God for giving me the opportunity to join this great family that love evangelism. I saw a lot of program's being advertised on Facebook for Evangelism, because I am a pastor with a passion for Evangelism. I would register with them and all with no communication at all. But I was surprised when I joined this group through Facebook they responded to me fast. In fact I love this great family.
All though I am a new student here, I am blessed. I remember that day that pastor Joshua gave us a lecture, he made mention of a place in Kaduna that was mostly dominated by Christians. But they have converted to another Religion. That day I learn that laxcity in Evangelism is a problem in the body of Christ, and I vowed all the Muslim states in Nigeria must be Evangelized. Through my journey, I was encouraged and blessed by this group and waiting to have more.

My heart overflows with gratitude as I reflect on my journey with the International Interfaith Ministerial Alliance. It all began with a simple Facebook advert, a spark that ignited a fire within me. I enrolled in their basic Bible course on soul winning, eager to deepen my faith and understanding.
Little did I know, this decision would lead me not just to knowledge, but to a loving family. The course was more than just informative; it was transformative. The instructors, filled with warmth and wisdom, guided me on a path of spiritual growth. They patiently answered my questions, challenged my perspectives, and instilled in me a deeper love for God and His word.
But the impact went beyond the classroom. The Alliance fostered a sense of community, a haven where I found acceptance and belonging. My fellow students, from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, became a source of strength and encouragement. We shared our experiences, prayed for each other, and celebrated each other's victories.
The Alliance didn't just equip me with knowledge; they equipped me with love. They showed me the true meaning of compassion, understanding, and acceptance. They saw beyond my flaws and embraced me for who I am. In their midst, I found not just fellow learners, but a family bound by faith and love.
Today, I stand taller, my faith firmer, my heart overflowing with gratitude. The International Interfaith Ministerial Alliance has been more than just a ministry; they have been a beacon of hope, a guiding light on my spiritual journey. And what's even more remarkable is that they have ignited a burning passion within me – a burden for soul winning that grows stronger with each passing day. I am now more determined than ever to share the love and knowledge I've received, to reach out to others, and guide them on their own path to spiritual fulfillment.
For this incredible gift, I offer my sincerest appreciation to Dr. Marry, Coach Daniel, and Pastor Joshua. Their unwavering dedication, profound wisdom, and genuine care have played a pivotal role in shaping my faith and equipping me to serve others. Their vision to foster a loving community and empower individuals like myself to share the Gospel is truly inspiring, and I am forever grateful to Dr. Mary Grimes-McGreer, Pastor Joshua Ikpe, and Coach Mordi Daniel for their guidance and support.
