Victory Life Bible Church International (VLBC Int’l) has empowered youths and ordained David Achudume as a pastor in a grand ceremony following the conclusion of its ‘Youth on Fire Convention: Alive.’ The event, held at the church’s headquarters in Abeokuta, honoured the legacy of Reverend Fola Achudume.
Bishop Francis Oke, President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, paid tribute to Reverend Fola before the ordination of her son, David Achudume. He acknowledged her enduring impact on the church and charged David to build upon her legacy. “David, you have been chosen to carry the mantle of your mother’s legacy. Go forth into the world, building upon the foundations she laid and exceeding her achievements,” Bishop Oke declared.
During the ceremony, Apostle Lawrence Achudume, the church’s General Overseer, emphasized the importance of youth entrepreneurship. He urged the youth to embrace self-reliance, innovation, and entrepreneurship, stressing that the future belongs to those who create their opportunities. In memory of his late wife, Reverend Fola, Apostle Achudume presented cash gifts to young entrepreneurs and announced free training programs in fashion design and tailoring to further her vision of youth empowerment.
