IMEKO 2026: BEYOND SPIRITUALITY, A MILLION-STRONG PLATFORM FOR IMPACT AND EMPOWERMENT

SVMSE Gabriel Oshoffa urges corporate organisations, sponsors to invest in Imeko Convocation

The annual Imeko Convocation of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide is not merely a major spiritual gathering; it is also an expanding platform for community development, humanitarian intervention, economic empowerment and unprecedented global visibility. This was the central message delivered by the Secretary of the Imeko Convocation Committee, SVMSE Gabriel Oshoffa, at the Official Presentation and Fundraising Gala Night for Imeko Convocation 2026.

Addressing distinguished guests, prospective sponsors, corporate organisations and other stakeholders at the colourful event, Oshoffa made a compelling case for greater private-sector participation in the annual convocation, describing it as a unique opportunity for organisations and individuals to combine social responsibility with strategic brand visibility.

He emphasised that the significance of the Imeko Convocation extends far beyond its religious importance, noting that the annual gathering generates enormous opportunities to improve lives, empower individuals and contribute meaningfully to the development of the host community.

In his words, “Beyond its spiritual impact on pilgrims and the host community, Imeko Convocation also makes a tangible difference through its annual empowerment initiatives.”

He explained that the convocation has continued to evolve into a major avenue for reaching out to people, supporting vulnerable members of society and providing practical assistance to beneficiaries through carefully designed empowerment programmes.

IMEKO: A GLOBAL GATHERING WITH ENORMOUS REACH

Using a presentation to illustrate the growing influence of the annual convocation, the committee secretary highlighted the remarkable attendance figures and extensive international reach of the Imeko gathering.

According to figures displayed during his presentation, the convocation attracts an average physical attendance of over 300,000 people annually, while millions of others follow its activities virtually from different parts of the world.

These figures underscore the enormous audience available to organisations and individuals willing to identify with the convocation through sponsorships, partnerships and other forms of support.

He pointed out that the convergence of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, worshippers, visitors and other participants provides sponsors with a remarkable opportunity to showcase their products, services and corporate identities to a vast and diverse audience.

Beyond the physical gathering, the growing digital reach of the event further extends the visibility of participating organisations, ensuring that their association with Imeko resonates with audiences across geographical boundaries.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

SVMSE Gabriel Oshoffa particularly drew attention to the social and humanitarian dimensions of the convocation, stressing that sponsorship should not be viewed merely as financial support for a religious programme but also as an investment in humanity.

He underscored the importance of the annual empowerment initiatives, which provide opportunities to positively impact individuals and communities, while encouraging prospective partners to become part of a legacy of service, compassion and sustainable development.

The presentation also showcased the convocation’s wider community engagement and empowerment vision, reinforcing the committee’s determination to make Imeko 2026 an occasion of both spiritual fulfilment and measurable social impact.

He therefore urged corporate organisations, business leaders, entrepreneurs, philanthropists and well-meaning individuals to take advantage of the opportunities available by supporting the convocation.

According to him, participation offers sponsors a mutually beneficial opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause while enjoying meaningful exposure before a large audience drawn from different parts of Nigeria and the international community.

IMEKO 2026: A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE WITH A GLOBAL DIMENSION

The committee secretary’s presentation further highlighted the expanding programme of activities associated with the Imeko Convocation, including prayers, worship, praise, revival programmes, word ministrations and conferences.

A special pre-Christmas Mass scheduled for December 24 was also highlighted as part of the wider spiritual programme.

The presentation reinforced the vision of positioning Imeko as a global spiritual destination, bringing together worshippers and people of diverse backgrounds in an atmosphere of faith, fellowship and spiritual renewal.

A CALL TO PARTNERSHIP

Concluding his message, Gabriel Oshoffa challenged prospective sponsors and corporate partners not to allow the opportunity to pass them by, urging them to identify with a gathering whose influence transcends religious boundaries.

His message was clear: Imeko Convocation is an opportunity to reach millions, touch lives, strengthen communities and associate corporate brands with a worthwhile cause.

As preparations gather momentum for Imeko Convocation 2026, the Imeko Convocation Committee is looking forward to greater partnerships and support that will make this year’s gathering more impactful, memorable and far-reaching.

Imeko 2026 is therefore more than a convocation. It is a meeting point of faith, people, opportunities and community transformation — an invitation to make a difference while becoming part of a global story.
