It was an atmosphere of joy and excitement as the Voice of Dominion Intercessors Outreach ( VODIO ) under the Anglican Communion, Warri Diocese, finally moved back to its permanent site after the demolition of the building in 2014 by the previous government of Delta State led by His Excellency Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan.
The Voice of Dominion intercessors Outreach is an outreach whose members are drawn from all Christian faith with capacity of 2,500-3,000 worshipers. It is known as one of the most populous outreach platforms led by Evangelist Dr Johnbull Mariere.
Ushering in a new administration, the demoliiton case was brought before the present government of Delta State, led by His Excellency, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa.
After meeting the demands of the land use act, the government in its wisdom, gave the land back to the rightful owner, which is the Voice of Dominion Intercessor’s Outreach.
At the recent grand finale of the ministry’s annual programme, ‘September to Remember’, the Bishop of Warri Diocese Rt. Rev. Christian Ide, reminded the congregation to always lay their foundation in the name of the Lord and never to give up in fervent prayers, saying that God has a way of glorifying his name.
In his words ” When you lay a foundation in the name of the Lord, the devil will try to do something funny, but it becomes his undoing because, it will definitely turn against it at the end of the day.
Gospel artistes like Praise machine, Solo Kings, Pius Onovughe, VODIO mass choir and others also ministered at the event.
The climax of the occasion was the presentation of Heroes Awards, in recognition of the contributions of some exceptional individuals who have contributed to the growth of VODIO.
The recipients includes: The Bishops of Warri, Ughelli, Sapele and Oleh Diocese, Rt.Rev Christian Ide, Arch Bishop Cyril Odutemu, Rt. Rev Blessing Erifeta and Rt. Rev John Usiwoma Aruakpor.
Others are Ven. Imonisan, Rev. Canon Longenus Agim, Late Ven. Robinson Arhawo, Architect Peter Obolo, Mrs Julie Mariere, Architect Thompson Umukoro, and Engnr Richard Mariere.
