Nigeria's SCOAN Draws Worshippers From all Nations


Dedicated pain physician Dr. Ezekiel Akande presides over the Somerset Regional Pain Center in Somerset, Kentucky. As the CEO and medical director, his work is central to the facility’s ability to treat pain and learn more about the phenomenon. In his personal life, Dr. Ezekiel Akande supports Nigeria’s Synagogue Church of all Nations.

The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) began as little more than a shack in the jungles of Agodo-Egbe in Lagos, Nigeria. It had just eight members, one of whom was pastor T.B. Joshua. His powerful leadership and drive to heal others earned him tremendous respect in his community, where was first called a prophet.

From that point on, T.B. Joshua - whom the church holds as a prophet - was determined to turn the tiny church into an international gathering place for worshippers. There were many obstacles in his way, and he cites the agents of Satan as a real and very personal barrier to success. Nevertheless, he achieved his goal, and the SCOAN now draws visitors from all over the world. It is currently the most popular tourist destination in the entire nation, drawing more than half of all foreign visitors.
