Campmeeting 2012: Who’s who in Port Harcourt

Port Harcourt, the Garden City and capital of Rivers State is one of five venues for Campmeeting 2012. Others, of course are Lagos, Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, Calabar aka Canaan city, and Ibadan the political hub of Nigeria’s southwest. Pastor and Psalmist Mike Moore is one the three-man team of guest ministers scheduled to speak the engrafted word of destiny into the lives of the attendees. He is an old Campmeeting hand. He would be joined by another returnee, Pastor Chris Oarhe, one of Port Harcourt’s best known preachers, who was at Campmeeting 2011 and newcomer, Pastor Emmah Isong, whose middle name, literally speaking, is Gospel. Here’s a bio-brief of these men of destiny.     PASTOR MIKE MOORE Pastor Mike Moore is the spiritual head of Covenant Life Church Family Worship Centre in Summerville, South Carolina, USA. He is a trained Business Administrator and practiced with an insurance company for 20 years, serving in top offices of the organization. In 1976, he became a student under the tutelage of great men of God such as Oral Roberts, Kenneth E. Hagin, and Kenneth Copeland. Ten years after, he and his wife were pressed in the Spirit to begin a Word of Faith Church in Summerville, SC, USA. That happened two years later in their apartment on May 8, 1988. He was first ordained pastor by Bishop Harry Mushegan and later by Kenneth Copeland. Pastor Moore who teaches with fresh anointing, boldness and can sometimes be hilarious in his presentation is a prophet, teacher and psalmist. He has been a blessing to millions of people all over the world through his songs and trumpet. He has two albums to his credit, “Awesome God and Other Praise and Worship Favorites” and “Christmas With Mike Moore”. Mike is married to Ann and they have three sons and seven grandchildren. PASTOR CHRIS OARHE Pastor Chris Oarhe is the Senior Pastor of one of Nigeria’s fastest growing churches, Hilltop International Christian Centre. In the year 2000 after acquiring a 5-acre property, Pastor Chris moved Hilltop International Christian Centre into its new 3000 seater fully air-conditioned auditorium. Each week, Pastor Chris delivers God’s message of faith and encouragement to more than 5,000 attendees. One out of the three weekly services is broadcast as “New Experience with Pastor Chris Oarhe” on four television stations where it is viewed by over two million Nigerians each week and more than 10 million viewers all over Africa.   Oarhe was Campus Fellowship Pastor and as associate pastor for several years at the University of Benin, Edo State, where he graduated in Optometry, before he received two specific visions to plant a church in Port Harcourt. He and his wife, Stephanie had been praying for the will of God. Today the church has grown into a family of kingdom minded believers with outreaches (mission centres) extending from the city of the Rivers state capital to many nations of the world. Pastor Chris is an international speaker and the author of several books including: More than Conquerors, How to Build Strong Faith, Breaking Beyond the Growth Barrier, Praying with your Pastor, a daily devotional – Today in His Presence and prayer manuals.

EMMAH GOSPEL ISONG Dr Emmah Gospel Isong is the President of Good Cheer Partner Inc., President and General Overseer, Christian Central Chapel International and President, Association of God's Servant (AGS). A banker, he bid banking goodbye in obedience to God's call  to him to "go and tell my people to be of good Cheer for I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). He is an Evangelist endued with a sensational healing and deliverance anointing, which explains why he is a well-known minister of the word at conferences, crusades and revival meetings as well as on radio and television. He has travelled extensively to preach the Gospel in more than 27 countries in five continents in the past 12years and authored quite a number of Christian books.
