Clerics unite in Abuja to pray for Nigeria

Christian leaders from Nigeria and abroad are expected to converge on Abuja in a Miracle and Healing Conference focused on prayer, worship and national renewal.

Organised by Lapis Lazuli Ministries, the conference is expected to attract participants from across Nigeria's 36 states as well as international delegates.

Speaking ahead of the event, co-convener Dr Femi Bajomo said the conference will provide an opportunity for Christians to unite in prayer for peace, stability and economic recovery amid prevailing socio-economic challenges.

Bajomo added that the conference would also feature marketplace-focused sessions designed to equip professionals, entrepreneurs and business owners with practical insights for navigating the current economic environment.

The organisers said the event aims to promote unity among Christians across denominational lines, with a focus on national transformation and spiritual renewal.

Co-convener Dr Mina Bajomo noted that many people are dealing with anxiety and uncertainty and expressed hope that the conference would create an atmosphere where attendees can find renewed faith, peace and spiritual strength.

International ministers expected to participate include Dr Tom Jones, Pastor Jean-Luc Trachsel, Dr Leif Hetland and Dr Katherine Ruonala. Other guest speakers, including Dr Randy Clark and Pastor Bill Johnson, are expected to join virtually. Gospel singer Prospa Ochimana will lead worship sessions during the conference.
