Patrick Edet, while serving in the Catholic Diocese of Uyo, ran a ‘Pentecostal-styled’ fellowship called Grace Family Outreach within the Catholic structure.
Mr. Edet, who had been a Catholic priest for more than 11 years, stunned the Catholic community in Akwa Ibom when he announced on a live radio programme on August 2 that he was leaving the Catholic Church to live his life as an independent cleric.
Mr. Edet on September 1 launched a “mega revival” programme in Uyo, using his outreach.
Some Catholic members have been attending the programme, even though the Catholic Bishop of Uyo Diocese, John Ayah, had earlier warned that any Catholic member who attends his programme or identifies with him (Mr Edet) in any way “does so at the risk of his or her Catholic faith and membership.”
The eight-day programme, which he tagged “The Great Awakening”, is currently holding in a city hall and has been attracting large crowds daily.
He has also erected billboards at strategic locations within the city to announce the programme which is his first major public outing since he quit the Catholic Church in August.

DeleteAll that matters is that you love his preaching. Wow.
DeleteYou love the preaching, but the preaching is if no effect in your life abi?
DeleteGood luck to him
ReplyDeleteHaha. Guy man wants all the proceeds to himself. He cannot come and be working for another and earning salary when he can make it on his own. Next thing he will have bodyguards and all he hopes to achieve opening his ministry. Good luck to him and his followers.

ReplyDeleteSmh
Haaahaaahaaahaaa! I follow you dey shake my head.
DeletePeople and I mean Catholics will surely be attending the crusade, threat or no threat.
I subscribe to the Christian Faith.
DeleteAs in ehnn...see how Christians be behaving...smh
DeleteI'm not surprised at all......hian
ReplyDeleteOK nau
ReplyDeleteI think its not about money. If he were, he will remain as a priest.
ReplyDeleteHave u seen a poor priest?
They are the richest clerics.
I believe, he is living out His conviction. He left, cause he doesn't want to go against the doctrine.
You all should not be quick to judge, especially a cleric.
Thank you so much for this comment. People are too quick to judge what if he is on d right part just what if.... Everyone should face their calling and allow others be...
DeleteThank you HIGHLY FAVORED!You are definitely full of wisdom.Cathokic priests are quietly rich people who don't make noise same as the church .I am of the opinion that he has discovered some Truth that does not tally with Catholic doctrines,he doesn't wanna seem rebellious hence the need to step out.
DeleteBut you have also been quick to judge that he is not after money. Are you in his head and heart? No matter how rich a priest can be can he be as rich as a mega international church pastor? Only God knows the truth and will reveal all. He has just started, Bible says by their fruits we shall know them.
DeleteAnonymous 05.04 ,calm down. What if his church never becomes a mega International Church? I think he should be left alone to live his life. Irrespective of what his motives are. We all leave paid employment to start something of our own so why can't he? Conviction or no conviction, as long as we will all independently account for our lives before God, let us at least live it first.
DeleteShut the fuck up pls! Come so i can school you on the different types of priests we have in the Catholic church.... The comfortable ones are allowed to own lands, cars etc.. Not every priest takes the oath of poverty.. Idiot!
DeleteNot surprised,Good luck to his ministry..
ReplyDeleteIs well.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I understand this. The report here says "through his outreach". This same outreach he's been at while in the catholic church. It is not an official declaration na
ReplyDeleteThe message of the gospel and church administration; which is now more important. People talking what they do not know
