Pilgrim HarvestPilgrim HarvestWho We Are
Pilgrim Harvest Int'l Ministry is lighting the world for Christ. We are a Bible-believing, Spirit-led church built on the simple, unshakeable message of the gospel: Jesus Christ died, rose again, and offers salvation and freedom to all who believe.
We carry a strong deliverance ministry \u2014 we believe Jesus didn't just come to forgive sin, but to set the captive free (Luke 4:18). Alongside that, we hold firmly to the foundations of the faith: salvation by grace, the authority of Scripture, the power of prayer, and a life transformed by the Holy Spirit.
Whether you're seeking freedom from something specific, or simply curious about who Jesus is, you have a place here.
Pilgrim Harvest International Ministries began as a prayer and deliverance programme in 2008, led by Rev. Evang. Samuel A. Okpaise and Evang. Mrs. Comfort S. Okpaise. It met at No. 37 Anating, off Atu Street, Calabar, in a two-bedroom bungalow for Friday Tarry Night.
By 2011, the accommodation could no longer contain the congregation, so the ministry began looking for a larger venue. By the grace of God, it found an empty plot at No. 49 Abang Asang Extension, off IBB by Wine Bar, where a temporary structure was erected. The ministry later purchased the land from its owner.
God also provided ten plots of land in Atimbo, near Vaval Barracks, intended for a church camp, a five-star hotel for believers, and cottage industries for the less privileged. The ministry also owns two additional plots intended for standard primary and secondary schools. All have been paid for and agreements secured; development will commence when funds are available.
Pilgrim Harvest commenced as a full ministry in July 2015. To the glory of God, the ministry continues to grow stronger and now has a branch at 25 Webber Street, off Atu Street, Calabar.
