A New Dawn in Imo State: Zion Prayer Movement Opens First Old People’s Home and Orphanage

In a powerful move that reflects faith in action, the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, a non-denominational ministry led by Evangelist Chukwuebuka Anozie Obi, has made history in Imo State. On Monday, the ministry officially commissioned The Seraphic Home — the first Old People’s Home and Orphanage established in the state.

Located in Mgbirichi, Ohaji Egbema, near Owerri, the facility was inaugurated by the Governor of Imo State, Hope Odidika Uzodimma, who described the moment as a significant step in addressing the needs of society’s most vulnerable — the elderly, orphans, and the indigent.

“Evangelist Ebuka’s decision to expand the ministry’s work in Imo is not just development — it’s vision,” Governor Uzodimma noted, commending the spiritual leader for “thinking home” and sowing impactful seeds into the heart of the state.

Governor Uzodimma added that Evangelist Ebuka’s ongoing contributions are positioning Imo State for global recognition, echoing the foresight behind the allocation of land to the ministry’s headquarters in Ngor Okpala.

In his heartfelt address, Evangelist Ebuka Obi shared the mission behind the project — to offer free accommodation and holistic care for elderly individuals and orphans who have no one to support them.

“This home was built to give dignity and love back to those society often overlooks,” he said. “Anyone in need — especially the elderly with no caregivers — is welcome here.”

The state-of-the-art Seraphic Home promises not just shelter, but also food, clothing, healthcare, and education. The goal is to create a nurturing environment where residents feel safe, loved, and supported — a place they can truly call home.

But it doesn’t end here. Evangelist Ebuka revealed plans to replicate this model across other parts of the country, further widening the ministry’s reach and impact.

Beyond just a facility, The Seraphic Orphanage and Home for the Elderly also serves as a beacon of hope — offering opportunities for community engagement, volunteerism, and skills development for caregivers and staff.

This is more than charity — it’s a movement of compassion and transformation. And it’s just the beginning.
