Innocent Ibeawuchi
Ç Go back
My name is Innocent Ibeawuchi and I am a pastor in Nigeria to the Ibo tribe. My wife’s name is Charity and we have seven children named Anointina, Favour, Uchenna, Temple, Victor, Light, and Chiturumugo. We live together in a three room apartment. Our family lives and is supported from the small trading business that my wife runs.
Before I encountered the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, I was a religious man but was a manager at a pool office where people gambled. I attended a Roman Catholic Church as well as various crusades. I would hear the gospel, receive it with fear, but a few days later, return to my old life. I was also very aware of the persecution that I would experience if I publicly declared that I was a believer. It wasn't until I saw a short religious film and heard a message following it that I was truly convicted. The first thing I did after I gave my life to Christ was to gather everything from my business and burn it. People watched me and would say, “See how he burned his pool business, abandoned his shop and carried his Bible….” From that day on I loved to share my testimony and the first souls I won were my mother and father. My wife was also saved after she attended a crusade and was convicted of her sin. The Lord brought her and I together in 1993 and we were married.
On a typical day I take my children to school, spend time studying the Bible and praying, handing out gospel literature, visiting new believers, and attending church activities in the evenings. So far, I have led about 1,800 people, baptized about 100, and have helped plant four churches. I also train other pastors by holding monthly seminars for them and weekly prayer retreats.
