In a powerful demonstration of faith and compassion, the Solution Prayer Power Divine Ministry in Port Harcourt awarded scholarships to over 15 students during an all-night vigil held at the church’s headquarters in Omuike Aluu, Rivers State.
The vigil, themed “I Must Overcome”, took an inspiring turn when the church leadership announced the beneficiaries of its 2025 academic scholarship scheme.
The initiative, aimed at supporting students who responded to the church’s invitation to sit an examination, sparked excitement and emotional gratitude among congregants.
The General Overseer, Prophet Efe Cyril Edah, who made the announcement during the service, described the initiative as a divine instruction intended to lift burdens and unlock opportunities for the next generation.
“God laid it upon our hearts to sow into the lives of these children. Education is not only a right, it is a weapon of spiritual and economic liberation. These scholarships are seeds of hope and transformation,” he said.
The scholarship package includes the purchase of JAMB forms, 100-level tuition fees and other academic expenses for secondary school leavers entering tertiary institutions, as well as registration fees for junior secondary school pupils advancing to senior secondary school (SS1).
Recipients were not members of the church, but residents of the surrounding community.
One of the scholarship recipients described the award as “an answered prayer in a season of struggle.”
The church has reportedly established the Solution Social Initiative (SSI) as the humanitarian and developmental outreach arm of the ministry. SSI is committed to transforming lives and communities through practical expressions of love, compassion and empowerment, funded by a portion of the church’s tithes and special offerings dedicated to youth development.
During the vigil, Prophet Efe urged other religious organisations to invest more actively in community development, particularly in the education of children.
Community leaders present at the programme praised the ministry’s effort, calling it a model of authentic Christian service. “This is what the church is meant to do, meet both spiritual and physical needs,” one elder remarked.
The night ended in joyful celebration, with the congregation praying over the scholarship beneficiaries and declaring success and divine favour upon their academic journey.
