We welcome to the network Rev. Joel and his ministry – Following is his ministry profile E Mail.

Dear Rev David Griffiths,

Thanks for your mail. I quite agreed with your sound biblical statements of faith. They emphasized holiness and peace with God without which no one shall see the Almighty God. I am therefore being prayerfully led to join in your concern for holy living and soul winning in preparation for the Rapture. Please count me as one of the Sons of God as I believed Christ and walk in His ways.

I will be sending my ministry profile but may not be able to send ministry pictures for now. The reason is
that I live at Abidjan, Cote-d'Ivoire but I am presently planting a new church at Lagos, Nigeria. It is only when I return back to Abidjan that I will send the pictures. However, I may later send a few pictures with our new work at Lagos.
