The four-day crusade of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry, which had overtime been hosted yearly in January at Umuaguma, Mgbidi, Imo State, will not be held in the town next year as announced by the General Overseer, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, as a result of what is believed to be security concerns in the South-East.

The Regional Resident Pastor of the church, Victor Chinedu, said the crusade was a four-day event, but could last up to a week as a result of the series of meetings that usually take place after the main events between the many units in the church and the general overseer. The regional resident pastor stated, “Since he has announced it as a man of God, who speaks through the Holy Spirit, we don’t have powers to change it but abide. We shall all prepare to go to Ijeshatedo in Lagos and be part of the crusade in January 2022.

He said, “Pastor Lazarus Muoka is from the Orsu LGA in Imo State and not from Mgbidi. The crusade is all encompassing as it accommodates other Christians apart from Lord’s Chosen adherents. For him to have acquired such an expanse of land in Mgbidi shows that he is a real man of God, who wants to use the land to propagate the word of God.

The indigenes, especially landlords, were not happy because during the four-day crusade, they usually made huge sums of money as they rented out their apartments to members of the large congregation who partake in the crusade. Food vendors were also not happy for the change, because of the huge sales during the event.

Ndimkoha, a mother of four and a widow, said the crusades had in the past helped to better her life and those of her children. A mechanic, Jude Isiocha, a native of Umuadobaihi Ihiala, regretted the change in venue as he used to make a lot of money during the period of the crusade.
