History
History of Gracelife Ministry International
The history of Gracelife Ministry International is indeed a divine arrangement. At the time of the retirement of God’s servant – Rev. Felix Meduoye, as the General Overseer of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, the clear thought of a ministry was not really in his mind even though his able associate, Rev. Ikechukwu Ugbaja, had included the issue as part of his post-retirement engagement.
However, in December 2019, just after leaving the office of General Overseer, he convened an end-of-the-year get-together for family members and friends. The day before the fellowship, it came to the mind of the servant of the Lord that the fellowship could be extended to show benevolence to those, not in a position to return the kind gesture. The Lord drew his attention to Luke gospel chapter 14:12-14 which says “ Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. Luke 14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: Luke 14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.”
Thus the fellowship quickly put up action plans to reach out to the poor, the challenged, and the vulnerable in society. In December 2020, there were successful outreaches to four charity organizations, and the following year 2021 outreaches were made again to two of the same organizations and the school of the blind. The success of those outreaches ignited further passions in the heart of Rev. Felix Meduoye. Consequently, the passion for benevolent services, mission support, and the capacity building became a burden in his heart.
Therefore, it can be said that Gracelife Ministry International is not an ambition, but a divine mandate fired by a heavy burden to accomplish a divine vision. The heavy burden propelled an immediate take-off of some activities under the umbrella of the ministry even before registration and inauguration. The ministry was officially registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission on July 15, 2021, and eventually inaugurated on September 11, 2021.
Vision

The ministry action plan is anchored on the scripture that gave birth to the ministry: Luke 14:12-14 Thus our vision is to be a well-resourced and harvest-focused Christian organization committed to reaching out to vulnerable groups and ministries.
Luk 14:12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
Luk 14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Luk 14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
