Christ Life Church International is a local expression of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries, located in Sabon Tasha, Kaduna South. Founded under the divine apostolic mandate given to Archbishop Francis Wale Oke, our church is built on the uncompromised pillars of Prayer, the Word, and Evangelism.
Our journey began in December 1975 as an interdenominational outreach ministry, officially organizing in 1980 and commissioning nationwide crusades by 1983. Following a prophetic word, Christ Life Church was formally birthed on February 12, 1989. From a prayer backup fellowship of thousands, it grew rapidly, expanding into a global church-planting movement aimed at networking cities with the vibrant life of Jesus Christ. Today, that same revival fire burns brightly in Kaduna.
A Nigerian Evangelical, Charismatic, and Pentecostal movement, headquartered in Ibadan, Oyo State — grown to tens of thousands of members globally.
To lead 100 million souls to Christ and plant at least 10,000 churches worldwide.
To teach the undiluted Word of God in the power of the Holy Spirit, leading people to walk in dominion.
Raising disciples who transform nations and practically apply the gospel of Christ.
The ministry's global headquarters sits on a large property in Ibadan known as the "Garden of Victory." Under Archbishop Oke's apostolic leadership, the ministry has grown from an interdenominational prayer outreach into a global church-planting movement, with fellowships including the Women's Fellowship (J.E.W.E.L.S.), Men's Fellowship, and active youth ministries and mass crusades.
