He explained that "to the glory of God after a successful career as a Chemical Engineer with NNPC in Nigeria I retired and relocated to Canada to start practicing what I called Jesus Engineering. When God told me to relocate to Canada, the question was - like that of Paul in Acts Chapter 9. "Lord what do you want me to do?" After years of seeking his face He told me to raise an eagle generation of believers and to put Canada on the Spiritual map of the world.What do you mean by an Eagle Generation, Lord? He told me he has many children in our generation who claim that they are Christians but they live like chickens and cocoons instead of eagles. They are Christians that cannot be trusted. They are unholy, they lacked integrity, unreliable, and classically not dependable."
"God gave to us the job of reformation and transformation. To bring the hearts of men back to him as Elijah did in the days of old. Eagle bird is a peculiar bird. Focused, goal getter and visionary. How do we implement this- Lord? He told me to gather Christian leaders together and teach them how to bring the body of Christ back to him. So in September 2003 we started the training and that is what gave birth to International Gathering of Eagles conferences. The model of training is Train -The Trainer . We teach the attendees of the conference who will go back to teach their congregation and communities to teach them."
"Of course like John 15: 5 and Psalm 127:1 without God we can do nothing and except the Lord build the house they labour in vain that build it. The Holy Spirit has empowered us and enabled us .We were faithful to God in this annual event in Toronto on annual basis until 2007, when the Lord spoke prophetically and openly through one of the speakers during the conference that there is no way we can bring all the people he wanted us to reach to Canada. That we should take the vision and training to nation . "My son start organizing this conference outside Canada and I will go with you!" Since 2009 we started holding the conference outside of Canada. Some years we go to 12 nations like we did in 2016. As at last count we have gone to 25 nations to the glory of God. Some of the nations are Brazil, China, Philippines, Kenya, India. Ghana ,Rwanda, Zambia and Nigeria . This year after the conference in Toronto we shall be going to Sri Lanka, Nepal , Pakistan , Liberia, Sierra Leone and other African nations. We go with what we call three Es, Equip, Encourage and Empower."
