Pastors Christopher and Apostle Dr. Joy Ibe were called into the ministry in 1985 and 1995, respectively. They were raised in the stables of Open Christian Fellowship in Kano, Nigeria, and pioneered Crowns and Home Foundation, a ministry that catered to couples and youths. They both served in Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), one of the fastest-growing churches in Africa.
In 1998, Apostle Dr. Joy moved to Atlanta and served as the executive minister of Jubilee Christian Church Intl. in Stone Mountain, Georgia. While in Jubilee, the Lord used her to establish Divine Visitation International Ministries (DVIM) in 2001. She is used by the Lord in a powerful prophetic healing and deliverance ministry and is recognized as one of the foremost leaders in spiritual warfare, land liberation, deliverance, and prayer. She is the founder of DVIM School of Deliverance, DVIM School of Ministry, Receive The Boost Relationships Ministry, Victory Hour Prayer Ministry, and Women’s Victory In Prayer Ministry. She has ministered in many states within the United States and in many countries throughout Africa and Europe.
Pastor Christopher’s arrival in the USA in 2004 heralded the inauguration of Divine Visitation International Church, where they now serve as General Overseers with branches in the USA and Ghana. They are committed to teaching and preaching the unadulterated Word of God and training a generation of sound and equipped sons of God, prepared for Kingdom work. They have been blissfully married for more than 56 Years and are blessed with children.
