THE OFFICIAL SHOWCASE OF EL GROUP OF INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL ORGANIZATIONS – N.G.O
THE HISTORY OF EL GROUP OF INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL ORGANIZATIONS
El Group of international gospel organization is a gospel organization established and formed by Rev Prof Emma Ononuju. It is the biggest umbrella that unites all the gospel ministries, theological institutions, charitable organizations, literature ministries and all other ministerial outreaches including churches that were established, formed, founded and built by Rev Prof Emma Ononuju and his wife, Rev DR Mrs. Alice Zuriel Ononuju.
The hunger and burden to establish a strong house where all other institutions and gospel ministries from the Ononuju’s shall be sheltered and to form a united forum or organ from where every ministry from the Ononuju’s shall be described, started in the year 2006 where many visions of more ministries were born in the heart of Rev Prof Emma Ononuju. In the pursuit of this vision, Rev Prof Emma Ononuju first founded an organ that covered and unite about six out of the whole ministries with a full name as UJU INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL MINISTRIES which is still (presently) a ministry under organizations. The vision of having multiple ministries came in 2009.
The burden of having many ministries is the vision of establishing a big house of unity called EL GROUP OF INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL ORGANIZATIONS. This name is born to be a united name for all the ministries, institutions and all gospel related organizations founded by Rev Prof Emma Ononuju and his wife Rev DR Mrs. Alice Zuriel Ononuju. It is founded to unite and to represent all the ministries in one occasion or the other. El Group Of International Gospel Organizations is divided into four sections, namely;
These four sections of El Group of international gospel organizations have specific gospel ministries under them according to their areas of gospel distributions. Each of the sections stands as an umbrella that covers those ministries under it, while all of them are under El GROUP OF INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL ORGANIZATIONS which is abbreviated as “ELGIGO”. This organization shall also be called, addressed, abbreviated and known as ELGIGO everywhere and at anytime. The earliest umbrella that unites some of the ministries was Uju International Gospel Ministries which covered Redemption campaigners ministry, El Theological College, El Emancipation ministry, International institute of missions, Uju Gospel publications, and Global prayer link, while other ministries by the Ononujus were not included in this arrangement and coverage of Uju international gospel ministries. Thus, the plan and goal for wider ministry and the need for global name was born. Below are the whole gospel ministries founded by Rev Prof Emma ONONUJU and his wife Rev Dr Mrs. Alice Zuriel Ononuju which are under the El Group of International Gospel Organizations.
The above gospel ministries are the visions of sponsorship and the private ministries of Rev Prof Emma Ononuju and his wife. El Group of International gospel organizations was officially established in April 2010, while the vision to establish it came December 2006, so the real birth of the organization shall be seen as April 2010 in Aba, Abia State with that initial headquarters in 200 Port-Harcourt Road Aba south, Abia State Nigeria, but now has been relocated to its permanent headquarters in Asa Nnentu local government area of Abia State Nigeria. Below are the major four sections of El Group of international gospel organizations as earliest mentioned above.
EL GROUP OF GOSPEL MINISTRIES
EL GROUP OF CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS
El Group of international gospel organizations is a name above other names in the history and life of the gospel ministries in this part of the land. The name El group of international gospel organizations concerns all other gospel arms of the Ononujus.
El Group of international gospel organizations is a representative, the umbrella, house and the united force that gathered all the ministries founded by Rev Dr Mrs. Alice Zuriel Ononuju together in one basket, in one family, in one house and in one pursuit, one goal and in one target. The focus of the entire ministry is to bring man to whom God created him to become, to save souls, deliver the oppressed, care for the poor, restore the oppressed, heal the afflicted, bless the down trodden and to bring sinners at the dining table of JESUS. Man is never whom God wants him to become until he meets JESUS and be saved by Jesus and these are the supreme businesses of all the ministries of the Ononujus and the entire focus of the ELGIGO under the sun. it is summarized by saying, we are fully out “TO KNOW JESUS AND TO MAKE HIM KNOWN” Rev Prof Emma Ononuju and his wife Rev Dr. Alice Zuriel Ononuju did not establish ELGIGO to and other gospel ministries in it to make money but they were established to spread the gospel and to make power in the blood of Jesus known to all. ELGIGO is an international gospel organization that shall have the right to carry the gospel wherever man is found. It is not a collective efforts of others, but a private vision, mission, focus, sponsorship and private efforts of Rev Prof Emma Ononuju and his wife, Mrs. Alice Zuriel Ononuju. The foundation of the WORLD “El came from Hebrew perceptive and idea of their GOD who is known and addressed as EL”. This organization owns its title, name, existence and all derivations from the name of the Hebrew God who is called “El” and from the name of the creator of all universe who called “EL” Gen 1:1-2, Ps 24:1-3, Jn 1:1-3, Ps 121:1-3. We have no idea of any other god but the creator of the heavens and the earth who is addressed as the “EL” ELOHIM, ELSHADAI, ELYON, EMMANUEL, and other titles attributed to His great name, so El group of International Gospel Organizations derived its name from the name of God who created the heavens and the earth, the father of our lord JESUS, who gave His son to die for us and to save us from our sins.
Nevertheless, we shall all confess that through this powerful name of God that the entire family of Prof Ononuju also derived their names from the same “El” originally and is everywhere known as the “EL” family as shown below “Emmanuel, Zuriel, Adiel, Uriel, Ammiel, Eliel. These are the names of the members of Rev Prof Ononuju’s family including his name, wife’s name and his children’s names all are derived from the word “EL” and ended also in “EL”, thus the word El becomes the names of the family members of the founder of this organization also. The history started with the GOD of heaven and connected to the entire family members of the founder, Rev Prof Emma Ononuju. El Group of International Gospel Organizations is the name of the entire house hold of the gospel ministry on earth.
WHY EL GROUP OF INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL ORGANIZATIONS?
El group of International gospel organizations is an evangelistic name, ministerial name, gospel name, missionary name, visionary name and JESUS ambassadorial name. It is the name that represents, binds, reveals and unites all gospel ministries, gospel institutions and all gospel organizations established by Rev Prof Emma Ononuju and his wife Rev DR Mrs. Alice Zuriel Ononuju. The lord has used Rev Prof Emma to establish and build over fourteen (14) gospel institutions including churches, parachurch ministries, theological institutions, orphanage homes, outreach ministries, benevolent or charitable ministries, Christian publications and others on making. All these gospel ministries brought together under one umbrella are known and called “El group of international gospel organizations”.
THE VISIONARY ORIGIN OF EL GROUP OF INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL ORGANIZATIONS
The word “El” is the name of the Hebrew God who created the heavens and the earth and from there Rev Prof Emma Ononuju and his wife DR Alice Zuriel Ononuju derived the name to call their ministries.
The burden to hand over all their property, vision and mission came after their marriage in 1983 at Port Harcourt and to call all their children, ministries and properties after God’s name, thus, all the six members of the family of Emma Ononuju are attached with El, as had earlier said, and his family presently is called “The El Family”. The Ononujus family names below are attached to God and called after the name El.
These are the names of the six members of Ononujus family that is made of four children, one wife and one husband in one family, Rev Prof Emma Ononuju and his wife are the president and founders of El Group Of International Gospel Organizations.
Nevertheless, the name El is older than their four children in their home. El as their family name was born in the year 1993, just three years before their first daughter was born. The vision to go by God’s name was born in 1993, thus, their ministries were attached with El and known as El and be accepted as such El Emancipation ministry 1993, El Theological College 1999 (without structure), El university of Theology and Biblical Seminary 2013 etc. Based on this, all gospel ministries of the Ononujus are united as El group of International Gospel Organizations.
