OUR HISTORY
Citadel of Glory International Ministry (CGIM) originated in 2013 as a humble home fellowship in Lagos, Nigeria. Here, devout individuals congregated every Wednesday evening, addressing one another’s physical and spiritual needs. This altruistic ministry evolved, expanding its outreach to the streets, where it became a beacon of hope for those grappling with addiction to drugs and alcohol. This divine calling to assist those in dire need was inspired by God Himself.
The ministry soon embarked on a mission to enrich local churches with recovery-focused educational components, equipping their members with an understanding of the challenges faced by those seeking help. This innovative teaching approach addressed the daily struggles encountered by individuals.
The impact of these efforts in Nigeria has been substantial, leading to the rehabilitation of numerous individuals battling various addictions. The local church, under the pastoral leadership of Adekemi and Olakunle, has been profoundly enriched by their ministry.
In 2023, Citadel of Glory International Ministry extended its reach to Canada, with the intention of sharing the transformative work that God has initiated in changing lives for the better.
In August 2023, the Canadian government bestowed non-profit status upon Citadel of Glory International Ministry, formally incorporating the organization.
Through God’s grace, the ministry aspires and plans to establish transitional homes worldwide in the near future, further advancing its mission of providing hope and recovery to those in need.
