Bishop Mike Okonkwo’s N20 billion TREM



The Redeemed Evangelist Mission (TREM) is big enough to contain you, small enough to reach you and powerful enough to deal with anything the devil brings against you.

This is the articulated vision statement of the Bishop Mike Okonkwo led, The Redeemed Evangelist Mission, which was launched on January 4, 1987. The ministry, which took off from a humble
beginning in an uncompleted building, has grown into a household name with over 160 branches in 10 nations of the world. The ministry, with presence in Africa, Middle East, America monthly income of N20 million from tithes, aside offerings and special donations.

Also the ministry which has their world headquarters at Obanikoro/Anthony Oke, Lagos, dedicated their cathedral on Saturday, July 2, 2011. The multi-million naira auditorium would comfortably seat over 20,000 worshippers. The intimidating auditorium has an oval shape of a standard stadium and the equipment was all procured abroad. The funds for the cathedral came from pledges by friends and worshipers. The Church auditorium which was tastefully built and furnished to the modern day standard gulped a whopping N20 billion.


The Cleric, Bishop Mike Okonkwo, also operates a prisons’ outreach which ministers to inmates of various prisons and remand homes in the country. Okonkwo who hails from Ogbunike in Oyi Local Government of Anambra State, during the war underwent the military training but had no opportunity to practice what he had learnt because the war ended the very night he was deployed to the war front.
