BIOGRAPHY OF PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE
Pastor Paul Eneche is the founder and Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, a Church with headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria. He is also a trained Medical Doctor, an author and a Musician.
He was born on 4th of June, 1968 in Otukpo, Benue state. He is a native of Idoma tribe and was raised by his mother in a Godly way. He was raised up as a Methodist but when he enrolled in the University of Jos, he was actively involved with the Deeper Life Campus Fellowship.
His salvation experience is unique as he noted that he repented after series of inward convictions and questions about his eternity gripped him. He started following the Lord while on campus with the Deeper Life Bible church.
As a medical student, he spent time evangelizing to patients while on duty, praying for them and preaching to them while doing his job also as a medical doctor. He met his wife Becky Enenche on campus with Becky more like a spiritual daughter. They eventually fell in love and got married on April, 16, 1994. Becky Enenche herself is a medical doctor whose parents were medical professors. They are married with four children.
In May, 1996 in Jos, Plateau State, Paul Eneche was at a crossroad as to what next to do with his life. He had several attractive choices, to relocate to the prestigious University of London and the Hammersmith Hospital with his beautiful wife where they had offers to work and simultaneously advance their Medical Profession or to keep their jobs in the two different hospitals where himself and his wife worked, and were comfortably accommodated in Nigeria.
As attractive and promising as the choices seemed, he was overcome by an unusual level of restlessness in the spirit, and so on the 28th of May, 1996, he journeyed to a mountainous area in the outskirts of Jos, to be alone with God. After three days of fasting, he came down from the mountain with a clear vision of exactly what he was to do with his life.
The Lord asked him to "put aside his Medical Certificate and go to the city of Abuja to start a gospel outreach that will be characterized with a heavy Presence of God to heal, save and deliver people; a church that will restore human destiny and dignity.” The Dunamis church was established first in 1996, two years after he married Becky.
The church started meeting in a hall before a Land was acquired. Currently, the church's headquarters is located along Airport road Abuja. The Glory Dome as it is called is capable of sitting 100,000 worshippers with multiple services every Sunday. The dedication of the building in 2018 was very massive with many dignitaries in attendance including the then Vice President of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo.
His teachings are focused on Christian Living, Character, Lifestyle and Living a life full of God’s power to fulfill destiny and impact lives. He is a preacher who doesn’t shy away from preaching holiness and righteousness; this is attributed to the background he had in the Deeper Life Bible Church founded by W.F Kumuyi.
He is known to also preach prosperity and faith which is attributed to the influences he had under Bishop David Oyedepo, founder Living Faith Church popularly known as Winners Chapel. Miracles in their hundreds and thousands are known to be a constant occurrence at Dunamis Church. The greatest influences to his ministry are David Oyedepo, W.F Kumuyi, Kenneth Copeland and Enoch Adeboye.
Dunamis International Gospel Centre network of churches is located in several states in Nigeria and also in a number of other countries, including the United Kingdom and Liberia. His meetings are characterized by the deliverance of multitudes from every manner of sicknesses and oppression.
His ministry has contributed positively to the growth and development of millions both within and outside Nigeria.
