Our Students will be employers of labour - Oladeinde
How did you get to kno w about Dorcas Empo werment program? y name is Adenike Oladeinde, the wife of the regional overseer MFM southwest 13, Ifo region. We got to know about Dorcas empowerment in February this year when a sister told us about it. Initially I did not take her serious, we heard from her on a Sunday and on Wednesday G.O gave a testimony about a woman that God used to buy equipments for Dorcas empowerment, that was when we believed it was real so I told my husband about it and we contacted Madam Joy who is in charge of the Dorcas empowerment and she came down to the church and told the congregants about it. When she left, we told the congregants to start registering but the number of applicants was not encouraging, so we were not sure of starting. When she came for the proper inauguration of the Dorcas empowerment, the turnout was massive even non Christians came. She interviewed the trainers and trainees and then we commenced.

So we had training in fashion designing, bag making, shoe making, and baking. Two weeks later, we asked them to put to test what they have learnt, and most of them did well. We are using an open space, so people do come in from time to time. As you can see our students here, they are sowing fabrics for themselves, we have three departments and all departments are functioning very well. We saw all the bags tha t they have done. Would this be enough to make the beneficiaries self reliant? It will help them if they know what they are doing, if they do not make it too expensive so that it will be a market for both the poor and rich, the sky will be their limit.

What I learnt here is Immeasurable

y name is Mrs Amodu Oluwatoyin, I am the instructor for home use products. God has been using me to train the students of Dorcas empowerment in the aspect of Insecticides, liquid soaps, body jelly, body cream, air fresheners, etc. I was also trained in Dorcas empowerment to make bags in various sizes which I have included in my own training too and has made me a better person. My prayer for Dr D.K Olukoya is that God will continue to empower him, take him to higher ground, and his vision will not be destroyed by any power of his household. And also my prayer for the students is that God should continue to impact more knowledge and understanding unto them so that they can be a better teacher too. My prayer for the teachers that are here is for God to continue to empower us with more knowledge and understanding, because it is the understanding of God that is the most powerful, without God we can not do anything. And I thank God for the program that has been on for more than 5years, God has been using us wonderfully to impact knowledge on the students. Amodu
God has used Daddy G.O

y name is Sister Motunrayo Odunlami, I am a member of MFM and I worship at the headquarters. I got to know about the programme when they announced it in the church and I went for the training. I got trained in bag and shoe making and now I am a teacher in Dorcas Empowerment. I make leather handbags, clutch purse and so on. I hardly go to the market to buy bags, I make any bag with different types of materials and I already have a lot of clients. I really thank God for Dorcas Empowerment and Daddy G.O. I really appreciate God for that.
