Abia First Lady Praises Pastor Ibezim at Ministry’s 19th Anniversary

The wife of the Abia State Governor, Mrs. Priscilla Otti, has congratulated Pastor Chioma Hephzibah Ibezim as the Singles and Married International Fellowship celebrated its 19th anniversary. She praised the ministry for changing lives, strengthening families, and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Speaking through the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Dr. Maureen Aghukwa, at the International Women’s Fire Conference held at the Rehoboth Auditorium, Mrs. Otti said the ministry has grown from a small vision into a global movement that is making a positive impact in many countries.

She said that at a time when many families and marriages face challenges, the ministry has continued to restore broken homes, build strong families, and raise children with good values.

Mrs. Otti praised Pastor Ibezim for her dedication and said the Abia State Government is ready to work with the ministry to help build a better society.

In her welcome address, Pastor Chioma Ibezim thanked God for His faithfulness over the past 19 years. She said the ministry, which started from a vision God gave her, has brought hope, healing, restoration, and transformation to many people around the world.

She said the ministry has restored families, strengthened marriages, supported widows, raised leaders, and continued to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Ibezim described the International Women’s Fire Conference as a special gathering where women meet God, discover their purpose, receive healing, and are encouraged to make a positive difference in their homes and communities.

She said many people have shared testimonies of restored marriages, successful businesses, miracle babies, and changed lives through the conference.

She also assured widows of the ministry’s continued support through practical help, encouragement, and care.

Speaking on the ministry’s journey, Pastor Ibezim said one of the greatest lessons she has learned is to trust God’s timing. She encouraged believers to remain patient because God always fulfills His promises at the right time.

The keynote speaker and Labour Party candidate for Bende Federal Constituency, Dr. Chima Anyaso, congratulated Pastor Ibezim for her 19 years of faithful service. He said true success is measured by the positive impact people make in the lives of others.

Dr. Anyaso added that his Chimaobi Anyaso Foundation shares the same vision by supporting education, awarding scholarships, providing medical outreach programmes, and assisting market women in different communities.
