A Visionary Project
The initiative to build a new place of worship for Jifa Ministry arose from the desire to meet the growing needs of the local Christian community. Since its founding, Jifa Ministry has rapidly grown, attracting many believers eager to experience a fulfilling spiritual life and participate in community activities. The construction project aims to provide a modern and suitable space to host worship services, seminars, Bible training, and other religious events.

He urged the faithful to continue their missionary work and prepare for a future full of blessings.

Spiritual and Community Support
The laying of the foundation stone not only represents a material accomplishment, but also a sign of the spiritual and community commitment of Jifa Ministry members. This church will be a gathering place for prayer, worship, and spiritual strengthening. The pastors reminded everyone of the importance of solidarity and unity within the Christian community, stressing that this project must be supported by the engagement of each individual, whether they are a church member or an external supporter.
Beyond the spiritual aspect, the construction of the church also represents a social development project, as it will provide space for educational and social initiatives aimed at improving the lives of the local community. Pastor DIDE Jeremie made it clear that this place of worship will also be a starting point for charitable actions, such as helping people in need and offering training programs for young people.
A Vision of Growth and Transformation

With the support of Pastor José PORTILLIO and other spiritual leaders, this project embodies the aspiration to see Jifa Ministry become a center of reference for evangelism, spiritual training, and social involvement in the region.
As construction work is set to begin soon, expectations are high. The church members and partners are eager to see this project come to fruition, fully aware of the positive impact it will have on their spiritual lives and on the broader society in Benin.
A New Chapter for Jifa Ministry
With the laying of the foundation stone, Jifa Ministry enters a new chapter in its history.
