NIGERIA: ONE minister of God that is using Christianity to instill leadership values and install leaders for poverty alleviation in Nigeria and across the globe is Apostle Olusesi Michael Obateye.

The Egba, Ogun State born cleric is doing this through his unique initiative, Leadership Empowerment International Conference (LEIC), with the latest edition holding in Kenya between September 27 and October 5.

The East African country conference with the theme, “Poverty of leaders in the midst of abundance,” shall hold at Grace Bible College, Karen Nairobi Kenya.

Obateye, who is the International Coordinator of LEIC, told GatewayMail that the conference is not peculiar to Africa alone, but a global one which will move around various continents of the globe with the direction given by God.

“The Leadership Empowerment International Conference is not peculiar to Africa, it’s a global vision,”the LEIC International Coordinator said.

According to him, hundreds of participants from the host country, Kenya, and others including Nigeria, South Africa, UK, USA, India, Uganda, Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi, Liberia, Ghana and many more will be attending the Kenya conference.

He explained that within one year of this brilliant idea, LEIC has continued to grow with many participants showing interests in the series of conferences held so far and are still going to hold before the year runs out.

On the achievement recorded by LEIC so far, Obateye said: “Achievements of the conference range from international and intercontinental fellowship, connections, full range leadership training, acquisition of new knowledge of leadership, positive attitude, change of wrong mentality, exposing leaders to the society where things are working, character moulding, and making of world class leaders.”

The clergyman, who explained that series of programmes had already been scheduled for 2017, explained that the conference will be used mightily to reshape the world.

“My impression on the conference is that God is set to use LEIC to reshape the world because LEIC is experiencing universal appeal,” he said, adding: “As I speak, more than 21 countries are routing for LEIC in about one year of international move.”

For LEIC to achieve its objectives, Obateye stressed: “I will like to appeal for funding and sponsorship of participants from across the globe by governments, wealthy individuals, and corporate organisations.”

He further said that several men of God will be attending the conference holding in Kenya, with various topics already slated to be discussed which include “Poverty of imaginative and creative leadership”, “Poverty of consciousness causes derailment of the church,” and “Poverty in Africa – real or artificial.”

Other topics include “Foreign financial aids resulting in death of creativity of Africa political leaders,” “Causes of poverty, solutions and cure,” and “Financial prosperity and poverty – where is the balance scale for the saints of the kingdom?”
