BRIEF HISTORY OF ECWA D/Line

HOW IT ALL STARTED

ECWA D’Line started way back in 1975 by one man and his family members. His name is Mr. Olu Kolesho. He was a well trained Pastor in ECWA seminary Igbaja, before joining the services of Challenge Bookshops- a subsidiary of ECWA Productions Limited. When Mr. Olu and his family, were transferred from Lagos to Port Harcourt in the course of his work in 1975 as the branch Manager of Challenge Bookshops, he made concerted moves and contacts as to where ECWA Church was situated in Port Harcourt, he found none.

As a devout ECWA faithful, he took it upon himself to start with his immediate family what may pass in today’s parlance as ‘’HOUSE FELLOWSHIP.’’ Well placed as he was, with burning zeal and passion for God’s work. More so, as a well groomed Gospel minister, it was only natural for him to connect his friends, associates and acquaintances of like mind and took the bull by the horns through fellowshipping together with him in the Challenge Bookshop compound , which incidentally doubles as his official residence as well as a ‘’Church’’.
