Apostle Benjamin Okorie gave his life to the Lord Jesus Christ in 1990 in Nigeria.  Soon after he traveled as a missionary to the nation of Liberia in 1995 and in the same year he also touched down to Conakry Guinea where he accepted the call of God upon his life.  He studied and graduated at Conakry Bible School.  Also, in Whem Bible Institute and End Time Charismatic Bible College and graduated with a Diploma in theology and in Christian Leadership.

He had divine encounter with the Lord in 2001 and where he received a direction from the Lord to proceed to Asia with a specific mandate, “Go to heal, give hope and bring restoration to the world starting from Asia”.

Apostle Benjamin Okorie is an apostle, teacher and evangelist by calling with an indisputable apostolic and prophetic grace upon his life.  He carried an anointing given by God that was displayed in his prolific teachings.  His teachings were revelatory yet comprehensible.  He had within him a word that was apostolically sound with a prophetic declarative that brought believers in line with their true purpose in God.

A summary of his calling and ministry could be traced to these two scriptures in Acts 10:38: “ How God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him.”

1 Corinthians 2:4-5: “And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
