Crowds of Worshippers from Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State gathered at St. James Catholic Church, Auchi for a Mid- Year Revival Programme presided over by Very Rev. Fr. Andrew Obinyan who started his Priestly ministry at the Catholic Diocese of Auchi 25 years ago. 

In his Homily entitled ” Punctuality of Spiritual Blessings”, the Priest urged the congregation never  to be discouraged under trying circumstances and delay, noting that “desired blessings come in glorious forms when we pray and rely on God even in hopeless situations”.

The host Priest, Fr. Ireneus Ikhane and Ambassador Chris Ighodaro described the visit of Fr. Obinyan as home coming and commended his untiring zeal in bringing the Good News and healing grace to lives and every situation where human woes abound. 

 For the Charismatic Renewal leader Joseph Osilimah, it was  an unusual  revival and encounter with the Holy Spirit and he thanked God for the gift of Fr. Obinyan to the church and humanity .

The programme featured Holy Mass, Adoration, Prayers for Healing, Deliverance and Blessing  the Land.

Earlier, the Cleric  was  at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Auchi for a similar programme .
