Our story, our mission, and the man God called to lead.
Our Story
Victory Temple Evangelistic Ministries International was founded in 2005 by Apostle Emmanuel Owusu-Boadi, starting with just five faithful members. As this small group began to evangelize and spread the Gospel of the Almighty God, the church began to grow.
Within two years, the ministry had grown past 70 members. In 2008, a branch was established in Ghana, West Africa — and the name was expanded to include "International" as the church now spans across multiple continents.
Apostle Emmanuel Owusu-Boadi starts Victory Temple with five faithful members, united by a call to spread the Gospel.
The congregation grows past 70 members, calling for the appointment of church elders and departmental heads to manage the growing ministries.
A branch is born in Ghana, West Africa. The ministry becomes "Victory Temple Evangelistic Ministries International."
Through financial challenges and multiple relocations in the USA, God's favor kept the church alive. The USA branch raised funds to help complete a permanent place of worship in Ghana, serving 150 members by 2017.
The US branch purchases its own building at 1599 Windsor Ave, Columbus — a milestone of God's faithfulness after years of transitions and temporary locations.
The church continues to grow in Columbus, Ohio and beyond — and the gates of hell shall never prevail against it.
