ABUJA – THE General Superintendent, Deeper Christian Life Ministry, DCLM, Pastor William Kumuyi, weekend, sought collaboration with Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS, and other relevant government and nongovernmental organizations to add value to the lives of young people in Nigeria and other countries.

Kumuyi who was represented by the State Overseer of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, Pastor Femi Adebiyi, and Benue State Overseer, Pastor Adebiyi Hassan, all of the DCLM, made the call after the June edition of Impact Academy Programme with the theme ‘From Zero to Hero’ was held at the Deeper Life Campground, Gwagwalada, FCT, Abuja, as part of the ongoing Global Crusade with Kumuyi, GCK, which started from Thursday, June 27 and would wrap-up on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, had in attendance thousands of young people drawn from secondary schools, tertiary institutions, and young professionals.

Speaking on behalf of Kumuyi, the Convener of the GCK, the State Overseer of FCT, Abuja, Pastor Femi Adebiyi who was the host of the programme explained how the word of God ministered by Pastor Kumuyi penetrated the lives of young people at the programme.

“The Word of God gives the power of God, when the Word of God goes into an individual, the power of God goes with the Word of God, and with that, the capacity, ability of the individual to be strengthened, energized and to be empowered to be able to do all that needs to be done becomes possible. Like the overall theme of the Global Crusade with Kumuyi, GCK, is the ‘Changing God of all Possibilities’.

“So when His power enters and into an individual’s life the impossibilities in the life of that person becomes possible, and so he is able to get lifted ‘From ‘Zero to Hero’ because when people are down there, it will is like a hopeless situation, case of despondence and people can even give themselves or write themselves or they are written off by other people.

“But with the power of God coming in, they are lifted, energized, empowered and strengthened to be able to do what they wouldn’t be able to do.

“My message to the youth who participated here at the alpha location and across the world is they should sustain the grace, power, blessing of God in a life that individual needs to feed regularly in the word of God”, he added.

Meanwhile, the Benue State Overseer, DCLM, Pastor Adeniyi Hassan, who also is the National Coordinator of the programme said, “Pastor Dr WF Kumuyi is a man for the youth, he has the youth in his heart, he has always done that decades with the youth, in fact, he started with the youth.

“The issue is that as young people who are looking forward to the future, it looks uncertain for some of them, some of them are already discouraged, and some of them can easily write themselves off once they experience failures in their lives. But somebody has to paint a picture before them.

“This Impact Academy Programme is the best place for freedom from drug abuse and addiction challenges because there was a graduate whose life was shattered because of drugs including marijuana.

“This is the place and Programme because God has positioned and placed Pastor Dr WF Kumuyi to alter and change the story of our nations because the solution is there with the message of his gospel and prayer which is mighty and powerful, and young people are delivered.

“For example, if we are having this kind of Programme all those who are being rehabilitated are brought to this kind of Programme, they can’t go back the same, they will be transformed.

“So I like all these organisations like the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA should partner with Pastor Dr WF Kumuyi because many lives and homes have been changed, many parents are rejoicing because the lives of their children are changed who were hopeless about those children but now through this Impact Academy lives are being changed, educationally they are going up, and most of the young people go home with aspirations that is what a nation needs and that is changing a nation.

“The Impact Academy Programme is being transmitted all over the world on all social media handles, many young people and various countries running into over 150 countries, and so, it is beyond Nigeria.

“So what we would have to say now is this, each time this Programme comes out, the best any State where it is being held should take the materials, publicity, invitation, write to these different organisations including the Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS, Trauma Center, Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, and others to be part of it and come into it, and the people under them will be transformed because it is a transformational event that takes place every month.

“With Impact Academy Programme there is hope for the Nigerian youth and there is great and serious hope for Nigerian youth and that is to the credit of Pastor Dr WF Kumuyi.”
