Agape Church Profile
Porto Novo, Benin Republic
Benin Republic is situated on the Atlantic coast of West Africa between Nigeria and Togo. It is the birthplace of Voodoo – and millions of people still actively practice witchcraft and idolatry throughout the land. Roughly two-thirds of the population of 14 million people are under the age of 25. Agape Church was launched in the capital city of Porto Novo on January 26, 2025, by Rev. and Mrs. Rotimi Johnson. God has blessed our outreach and discipleship, and we are excited about reaching the youth and breaking the bondages of Voodoo by the power of Jesus Christ.

Agape Church Profile
Jui, Sierra Leone
The nation of Sierra Leone is predominantly Muslim – yet there is freedom to preach the Gospel and establish churches. Agape Pastor Jeshurun Rogers is a former Moslem, and he is passionate about reaching his people for Christ. The Agape Church in Jui is the second church planted by our main headquarters church in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone. Located just outside the east end of the Freetown city limits, Jui is home to a very religiously and ethnically diverse population. The Agape Church in Jui was just launched on March 6 this year – but it’s already reaching souls and building a solid base for a bright future.
Article: The Power of the Holy Spirit
Light in the Midst of Darkness
Across many parts of the world, the spiritual realm is not distant or theoretical—it is deeply real to everyday life. People speak openly about fear, protection, curses, and unseen forces. In such environments, practices like witchcraft, ancestral rituals, and spiritual mediation are often pursued not out of rebellion, but out of a desire for safety, healing, or control. Into this reality, the message of the gospel does not arrive as a distant philosophy—it comes as power. The same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is present and active, revealing that darkness is not ultimate and fear does not have the final word. The book of Acts gives us a clear picture of this reality. In Ephesus, a city filled with spiritual practices, God did not simply argue against darkness—He demonstrated His authority over it. Through the Holy Spirit, people were healed, demons were cast out, and the name of Jesus was lifted high above every other spiritual claim. What stood out was not only the presence of spiritual activity, but the clear distinction between human attempts to manage the unseen world and the true authority that comes from God. When the Spirit moved, people recognized that this was not one power among many—it was the power above all. This is what changed lives. Those who had once relied on spells, rituals, and hidden practices did not need to hold onto them as a backup. They saw that in Jesus they had something greater. Their response was bold and public—they brought their scrolls and burned them, turning away from fear and stepping into freedom. The Holy Spirit did not simply call them out of darkness; He gave them the confidence to leave it behind completely. For believers today, this same reality still holds. The Christian life is not lived in fear of competing powers, but in confidence that Jesus has already overcome. The Holy Spirit does not coexist with darkness as an equal force—He overcomes it. Where there has been fear, He brings peace. Where there has been bondage, He brings freedom. Where there has been uncertainty, He brings assurance. This is not theoretical theology; it is the lived experience of countless believers who have encountered the transforming power of God. In the context of Christian mission, especially in places where spiritual realities are deeply felt, this truth is essential. The gospel is not only a message to be understood—it is power to be experienced. Many who come to faith are not just changing beliefs; they are stepping out of systems of fear and dependence that have shaped their lives for years. The role of the church is to walk with them in that transition, helping them grow in confidence that the Holy Spirit is sufficient for every need—spiritual, emotional, and practical. This is the hope that continues to move forward through the work of the church today. The same Spirit who worked in Ephesus is still at work—freeing, healing, and transforming lives. And as people encounter the true power of Jesus, they are not left trying to balance two worlds. They are invited into something better: a life rooted in freedom, grounded in truth, and sustained by the presence of the Holy Spirit.
