Pelitha Church Assembly 2025 Women’s Fellowship Ends in Spirit-Filled Revival
“The World needs Mothers of Passion for Christ and Humanity” – Bishop Mrs. Ekwurugo
By Anselem Anokwute
The 2025 edition of the Set the Captives Free Women’s Fellowship organized by Pelitha Church Assembly has ended on a powerful note of revival, soul-winning, and renewed spiritual commitment among Christian women.
The grand finale, held on Sunday, September 21, at City Primary School, behind Fire Service Owerri, Imo State, witnessed an outpouring of divine presence, despite the recent demolition of the church’s former location within Old Ogbosisi, Wetheral Road, Owerri, by the Owerri Capital Development Authority (OCDA).
Undeterred by the setback, the women of Pelitha Church Assembly came together with greater unity and zeal to celebrate their annual gathering, which focused on the theme “Women of Passion for Christ.”
Speaking at the event, Pastor Mrs. Margareth Nwanlem, wife of the host pastor and founder of the church, Reverend Godwin Nwanlem, expressed profound gratitude to God and commended the women for their unwavering unity, evangelistic efforts, and spiritual commitment through songs, drama, and various outreach activities.
Delivering the keynote sermon, Bishop Mrs. Vivian Ekwurugo of Mountain of Liberation Faith Ministries, Mgbirichi, Ohaji/Egbema LGA, charged women to live as true “Mothers of Passion for Christ in the world.” She urged them to nurture not only their homes but also the church and the society with love, passion, and purpose.
Citing Proverbs 14:1, Bishop Ekwurugo emphasized that every woman is a minister in her home and should build her household with wisdom. She further referenced Proverbs 13:3, Matthew 25:44, and Acts 9:36–43, drawing attention to the biblical story of Dorcas, who was raised from the dead because of her acts of kindness and compassion—proof that a life of service to others attracts divine favour.
She encouraged the congregation—especially those in leadership and authority—to show genuine care and passion for humanity, reminding them that it is only through compassion and righteous acts that true revival can be sustained.
The service ended with a special anointing and prayer session led by Bishop Ekwurugo, where she prayed for financial breakthroughs, restoration, and the permanent relocation of the church to a new and better site.
Speaking on behalf of the women, Mrs. Ugochinyere Osuji, leader of the women’s fellowship, stated that the program provided a platform for women to rekindle their commitment to soul-winning, spiritual growth, and reaching out to the less privileged. She also announced plans to donate a mini-bus to the church as part of their collective contribution.
She appreciated Pastor Mrs. Margareth Nwanlem for her love, support, and motherly role, describing her as the pillar behind the success of the women’s fellowship. She also thanked Reverend Godwin Nwanlem and other clergy members for their spiritual guidance and leadership.
Special performances that uplifted the gathering were delivered by Mrs. Peculiar Akubueze, Evangelist Nkechi Uwaeme, Evangelist Mrs. Joyce Aguocha, Sister Edith Ukaegbu, Mrs. Ogechi Igboanugo, Mrs. Blessing Iheme, Blessing Dimkpa, Chioma Ozoemena, among others.
Notable clergy in attendance included Rev. Dr. Chidiebere Uzoechi, Pastor Romanus Aguocha, Pastor Best Dimkpa, and several others who came to support and witness the event.
The 2025 Women’s Fellowship of Pelitha Church Assembly not only reaffirmed the faith and unity of its women but also sent a strong message of revival, resilience, and hope for the future of the church.
