The fifth edition of the West African Faith Believers Convention (WAFBEC) will kick off in a few hours.

The convention is organised by Covenant Christian Centre, pastored by Poju Oyemade, who is also the convener of the yearly governance summit, The Platform.

From its first edition held in 2013 at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Onikan, to the 2014 edition, held at the National Stadium Surulere, men of God from across the globe have been used of God to speak into the lives and situations of many in attendance.

This year, some of the ministers include Dr. Creflo Dollar, Dr. Bill Winston, Bishop David Oyedepo, Bishop Wale Oke, Bishop Keith Butler, Rev. Mark Hankins, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo.

Others are Rev. Nike Adeyemi, Pastor Taffi Dollar, Pastor Sarah Omakwu, Pastor Andy Osakwe, Rev. Trina Hankins, Dr. Efe Obuke, Pastor Poju Oyemade.

In at least 50 sessions, words and utterances will proceed from the lips of the speakers providing instruction, direction, inspiration and doctrine to attendees.
