May 19, 2018 will mark 28 years since I answered the call to ministry.
My journey began on that date in 1990 after a very dramatic encounter with Jesus at a Full Gospel Business Men Fellowship at Airport Hotel in Lagos and stern words of admonition by the late Dr. Ike Ibeneme. God use Dr. Ibeneme to bring me to a decision to stop playing church and follow Jesus all the way.
A passion for prayer, the word and souls was ignited in me as I began serious study of the word of God as well as preaching on the streets of Lagos. It was also that year that I enrolled for lay leadership workers training in my then Church and became a Believers Class teacher and a leader in the Church’s Welcome Ministry. I rose through the ranks of lay leadership, was ordained in 1996 and given our first pastorate.
Reflecting over the past 28 years in ministry, half of which has also been spent in the marketplace as a social entrepreneur at https://howellsac.com/, I realize that I have acquired a wealth of real life experience as far ministry and marketplace is concerned especially as a single/divorced, black woman in a culture that I did not grow up in! I also realized that it was time for me to start sharing my story and for people to get to know the REAL me.
On that note, I am happy to announce the launch of a mentorship series titled; ‘Life M.B.A.’® (Much Better Alternative), where I am will be “unmasking” and sharing life lessons from my mistakes, failures and successes so that you can learn from them and hopefully avoid some of my mistakes.
