Our Story
Our story: 30 years of God’s faithfulness
How one fast on a mountain near Jos became a church that fills a 100,000-seat dome.
It started with one instruction
Go to Abuja and start a gospel outreach. That was it. Everything you see today grew out of a young couple saying yes.
- 1996
- Founded in Abuja on 10 November.
- 2026
- Thirty years on, and still going.
How it began
Dr. Paul Enenche and his wife, Dr. Becky, were both working in hospitals at the time, and thinking about further study in London. She fasted and prayed as well, and she came to the same conclusion.
The first outreach held that July, in the banquet hall of the Agura Hotel. They left their jobs and moved to Abuja, and for 13 months home was one room in Zone 7.
What we believe we’re here to do
Dunamis is the Greek word for power, from Acts 1:8.
Filling the earth
Saturating the earth with kingdom people, principles, power and presence.
Evidence everywhere
A member everywhere people work or live, as evidence of God’s saving, healing, liberating, lifting and transforming power.
You can hear the gospel
So we teach the word plainly, in a way people can live by.
You can feel the gospel
So we make room for God’s presence, in worship and in prayer.
You can see the gospel
In people healed, delivered and lifted. That’s what the word dunamis means to us.
The journey so far
10 November 1996
Dunamis begins
Dunamis International Gospel Centre is founded in Abuja. The name came with the instruction to start: dunamis is the Greek word for power, from Acts 1:8.
November 1997
Under canopies, then a 700-seater
A colleague offered land behind the old Federal Secretariat in Area 1 for temporary use. We worshipped under canopies for six weeks. By the first anniversary we had a 700-seat auditorium, with people still sitting outside.
The Area 1 years
Room for 10,000
That auditorium was expanded twice, to more than 10,000 seats. The Gospel Power Team took the message outdoors, to Eagle Square, the old parade ground and the national stadium.
14 September 2014
Laying a new foundation
Work begins on a new home for the church, on the Lord’s Garden along Airport Road.
24 November 2018
The Glory Dome is dedicated
The 100,000-seat auditorium is dedicated during Kingdom Power & Glory. It was finished without debt and without a bank loan.

People from Nigeria and 53 other countries come for Kingdom Power & Glory. Ministers from 48 nations attend the Flaming Fire conference.
