About FITWIC
Faith In The Word International Churches has an interesting prophetic history. When the founder the Rev Dr Edward Ekwa was in the Bible College majoring in Theology and world missions 1985 to 1987. During the third semester, in 1985, the President of the College was teaching a course “cross-cultural evangelism”. The President of the College was a veteran missionary from Rock Island IL, USA to Nigeria, West Africa were Dr Edward Ekwa was a student. He spoke and taught extensively on the great revivals which have taken place in church history. He explained to students how these revivals imparted America and the results which came from these movements and how these revivals helped shaped Christianity in the USA and later produced missionaries who went to the nations of the world with the gospel of power, transforming lives, cultures, and nations. He paused for some time, and he said “sadly the United States Of America which saw a mighty move of God in the 1600s and 1900s is quickly sliding into a state where America needs another revival to awaken her people. And some of you here in this class, will end up going to America as missionaries to do missions work”.As a student, listening to this great man of God saying those words, never had a taught that he will be one of the people God will send to America as a missionary. But In October 2021, Faith In The word International Churches was lunched in Fort Myers Fl. Partnering and standing with the American church to take back this land; in fasting and prayers to see the birth of the fourth great awakening in this great nation.
