In a powerful show of faith and compassion, Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, led a special prayer session today, seeking divine intervention and support for the less fortunate in the new year. The service, held at the church’s headquarters in Lagos, was a solemn and stirring occasion where thousands of worshippers, as well as global viewers through live-streaming, gathered in unity to pray for the well-being of those struggling with poverty, illness, and hardship.
In his opening remarks, Pastor Kumuyi reflected on the importance of community, charity, and empathy, especially as the world grapples with the growing challenges of 2025. “In this year, we are called not just to pray, but to act—helping those who are suffering, lifting them up with our prayers, and reaching out with our hands in service,” he said. “It is not enough to wish for better days for the needy; we must take steps to make those days a reality.”
Pastor Kumuyi’s prayer focused on God’s provision for the poor, the sick, and the marginalized, asking for strength and guidance for individuals, families, and communities struggling under the weight of poverty and social inequality. “We stand together in faith, trusting that God will provide for those in need, heal those who are sick, and restore hope to those whose lives have been shattered by the challenges of life,” he said.
The service also featured testimonies from church members who shared stories of their efforts to support the underprivileged, including outreach programs in rural areas and urban centers. These initiatives, led by the Deeper Life Church, aim to provide food, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities to the most vulnerable members of society.
During the prayer service, Pastor Kumuyi called for greater collaboration between churches, governmental agencies, and local communities to ensure that the needy are not forgotten. “The fight against poverty is not a battle that can be won alone. It requires all of us to be involved, to show genuine care, and to dedicate resources and efforts to lifting others up,” he stated.
As part of the event, the Deeper Life Ministry launched a year-long campaign to support the marginalized through direct donations and various outreach programs. Pastor Kumuyi appealed to the faithful to donate generously, emphasizing that even the smallest act of kindness can make a significant impact.
