The Nigerian priest, who resigned recently from the Catholic Church in Nigeria, has officially launched his own church in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

Patrick Edet, while serving in the Catholic Diocese of Uyo, ran a ‘Pentecostal-styled’ fellowship called Grace Family Outreach within the Catholic structure.

Mr. Edet, who had been a Catholic priest for more than 11 years, stunned the Catholic community in Akwa Ibom when he announced on a live radio programme on August 2 that he was leaving the Catholic Church to live his life as an independent cleric.

The Catholic Church later responded by stripping him of the rights and privileges enjoyed by priests and also barred Catholics from relating with him.

There has been a measure of excitement in Uyo over the recent launch of Mr. Edet’s ministry since his exit from the Catholic fold.

Some Catholic members, PREMIUM TIMES found out, have been attending the programme, even though the Catholic Bishop of Uyo Diocese, John Ayah, had earlier warned that any Catholic member who attends his programme or identifies with him (Mr Edet) in any way “does so at the risk of his or her Catholic faith and membership.”

Mr. Edet on September 1 launched a “mega revival” programme in Uyo, using his outreach.

The eight-day programme, which he tagged “The Great Awakening”, is currently holding in a city hall and has been attracting large crowds daily.

He has also erected billboards at strategic locations within the city to announce the programme which is his first major public outing since he quit the Catholic Church in August.

A member of the outreach, who gave his name simply as Chukwuemeka, told PREMIUM TIMES on telephone that Mr. Edet would be holding subsequent meetings in the city hall.
He didn’t, however, say how often the meetings would take place.

On Saturday, during the second day of the church programme, several people defied the heavy rainfall to attend his programme.

About six police officers were deployed to guard the congregation during the programme.

The hustle is real..

Turn 50% of the present religious buildings into industries and you will have less crime to handle. . .One don't need to own a church as pastor to serve God. Just show love and kindness to everyone. That's all that matters.


Well, he would soon be needing our product to meet up as a man

I knew it was human greed driving him and not common sense

Another one just got called to start his own ministry... Oh Lord... smh.... Where are the Industries to employ the jobless youths...

Cool business.

He Would soon marry

That's where untaxable money is at

Catholics are just too judgemental for my liking sometimes.

As if Jesus wasn't enough for our sins,they included purgatory.

The ostracization spells secret cult like fellowship.

he found out the Truth that Catholic church is a demonic church who worship Mary instead of the son of God.

No one comes through the father except through me! he didn't say no one comes through virgin Mary

why will a sane man be praying to Mary and be worshiping a carved status of Mary?
it shows that the church is practicing idolatry.

That was how many churches were formed after their founding fathers left catholic, and that's why we have many churches. Tomorrow his church member will wake up, have a dispute with him and create his ministry and it goes on.

He who does not want peace will know no peace!

Chascop:


you don't say everything you know.. at times you keep mute

Please dont be aggressive.

he is a nice man



i know most catholics will hate on him

so he used Catholic church to gather fund and member... no problem. op pls don't fail to announce his downfall when d time comes.

when you see a very lucrative business and you know there's recession, won't you invest?

Hussle continues. May his sheep's tithes fall like rain
