our pastor

Pst. (Dr) Ephraim Ifeanyi Ezeh is the senior Pastor and co-founder, with his wife Prophetess Chinyere Ezeh, of ARISE & SHINE CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES (Manchester) Manchester UK.

Borrowing from the great gospel architect, Apostle Paul, I can also, after looking back, say when it pleased the Lord my God, the Preserver of precious souls, to reveal His beloved Son to me I embrace Him on 1st January 1989 and by His grace, I have not since then looked back. Neither have I allowed the promptings of flesh and blood to hinder me.

In the journey for spiritual growth, I joined Christian Pentecostal Mission Lagos Nigeria and Deeper Life Bible Church (Moston Branch) Manchester UK where I worshipped for over seventeen years and grew to service at different levels. I am eternally grateful to these two Ministries for what I am in the Lord today.

My wife and I were called out on April 7 2007 to start a new Ministry which is, besides other mandates, primarily commissioned to missions and missionary portfolios, which we could not carry out internally within the Ministry we belonged to.

That new Ministry is today’s Arise & Shine Christian Ministries (Manchester) Headquartered in the United Kingdom, and located at 582 Hyde Road Gorton Manchester, M18 7EE.

Besides missions, this Ministry has the following assignments:

1. Restoring unity
2. Restoring standard
3. Restoring power to the Body, which is only truly manifested through holiness
4. Preparing the Body for the Rapture

ARISE & SHINE CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES (Manchester) is now an international outfit with many branches in countries like Malawi, Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia, etc. The Mission of the Ministry is dominantly in the hinterland in these nations, reaching the villagers far away from cities and bringing to them the gospel they have not been privileged to hear and at the same time providing material reliefs and start-up businesses to alleviate massive need in these areas.

Post COVID-19, will present huge mission activities all over the world, internally and externally. It will be a new era of the upsurge of the gospel as God is laying on our hearts. This will inevitably involve greater demand for resources, human, and material. We ask you to join us in prayers for the Lord of the harvest to provide for the new harvest.
