Dr Joseph Ikea
Pastor
Joseph Kemakolam Ikea was born in Lagos, Nigeria and has been the Pastor of Agape Pentecostal Fellowship Canberra, Australia, since its inception in January 2011. Before this, he helped in church planting here in Australia and evangelistic outreaches in Nigeria. Earlier, as a young boy he gave his life to Christ in 1973 and was an active member of the Scripture Union (SU) and Student Christian Movement (SCM) during his secondary school and university education days. He also served for some years as the Assistant Sunday School Superintendent at the Assemblies of God Church Kirikiri, Lagos.
After graduating from the University of Lagos in 1984 he got filled with the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in Tongues and has since been active in preaching and teaching the WORD. He is a gifted teacher and stickler of the Word; and an exhorter that believes in empowering people with the Word of God. Together with his wife, Mercy, they desire and work to see people grow into their full potential in God, equipping them to impact both their own sphere of influence and beyond. Their heart is to grow people, connecting them to Jesus and His Church.
