Paul reflects this idea in the following qualifications, “respectable, hospitable, able to teach…, not a bully but gentle, not quarrelsome…” and “have a good reputation among outsiders, so that he does not fall into disgrace and the devil’s trap.” These traits reveal a man who cares first about others.
Tamale, Ghana is home to the Dunamis Bible Institute, an accredited Bible seminary founded by African Mission Evangelism Inc. Its primary focus is the education and formation of Pastors, Missionaries, Youth and Children Leaders, Other Church Workers, and Those Interested in Christian/Pastoral Ministries and Missions. The Bible Institute welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds to be instructed in the Word of God in an environment free from religious bias. The Dunamis Bible Institute also provides training in biblical and cultural literacy, preparing students to lead effectively and humbly.
The Dunamis Bible Institute has a clear mission: to equip God’s chosen men and women with a solid theological education at prices they can afford.
This is especially important in the Northern regions of Ghana.
DBI’s mission is to provide a formal education in the Bible and Theology to men and women who feel called by God and are seeking personal spiritual growth or who are interested in serving in Christian ministry. People in this camp care more about the spiritual depth of biblical and theological education than they do about a program’s official government recognition.
Nevertheless, we have established a mechanism to guarantee excellent ministerial and theological training, particularly at the Diploma level. You’ll also learn about Dunamis Christian University in this piece.

How Dunamis Church Started
On November 10th, 1996, the Dunamis International Gospel Centre opened its doors. Abuja Centre for Arts and Culture (First Floor, Area 10) was the site of the first Sunday service. After 2 weeks, the church relocated to the Abuja Sheraton Hotel & Towers, where services continued for another 6 months.
In June 1997, less than a year after the ministry began, the congregation relocated to a larger worship facility in Area 1, adjacent to the Old Federal Secretariat. God moved in a mighty way, confirming His Word with power, signs, and wonders. And the Bible says, “as they praised God, the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
Overflowing in the church grounds and also along the road soon became a regular feature of every service, making it abundantly clear that the Church building was inadequate to hold the throngs of people who flocked there. Therefore, it became immediately apparent that a brand-new building was required to accommodate all of the worshippers.
On September 14, 2014, Bishop David Oyedepo presided over the ground-breaking/foundation-laying ceremony for the new International Church structure, which had been moved to a location along the airport road after receiving divine direction.
On November 24th, 2018, an auditorium with a capacity of 100,000 was dedicated to God as part of the new headquarters for the International Church. It is called the Glory Dome. Truly, God has been faithful.
