11th Future Africa Leaders Awards Ceremony Graced by Notable African Leaders

Iconic African leaders charge African youth to create a better environment and preserve the future of the continent.

The epochal Global New Year’s Eve Service with Pastor Chris, which recorded the largest gathering across the globe that night, was adorned with the grand celebration of the Future Africa Leaders Awards 2023 (FALA). Currently in its 11th edition, the program has recognized outstanding young Africans who have distinguished themselves by solving daunting societal problems and steering apt socio-economic development in their respective nations and beyond. This year, 10 young Africans who stood out among the 30 brazing nominees were shortlisted as winners of the FALA Awards 2023, among whom one would finally emerge as the Star Prize Winner of the year. In his opening address, the President and founder of the Future Africa Leaders Foundation, Reverend (Dr.) Chris Oyakhilome charged African nations to invest in their youth as they’re the future. “If you fail to invest in young people, you fail to invest in your future,” the President echoed as he charged African nations to channel resources to furnish and encourage their young ones because they hold the future. He expressed deep appreciation to the shortlisted winners for their outstanding efforts throughout the year, citing them as springboards to greater heights in the coming year. Chairing this year’s edition of the FALA Awards again was eminent son of Africa; former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (GCFR). Addressing the global audience, he recounted the contributions of vibrant and dynamic Africans across the globe. “It is up to us to get what we want out of the world,” he remarked, urging all Africans to bring out the leadership skills in them and make a difference in their respective nations and beyond. Serving as the Special guest at this auspicious event was the Former President of the Republic of Malawi, Her Excellency Dr. Joyce Hilda Banda. She had utmost praise for the FALA initiative and sought to partner with the fecund young Africans in creating further opportunities for all Africans across the continent and beyond. Following suit was Rt. Hon. Jemma Nunu Kumba, (Speaker, National Legislative Assembly, Republic of South Sudan) who challenged Africans to further the course of Pan-Africanism, championed by the several African greats including Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela, among others. The resounding charges from the FALA President, together with his iconic guests, stirred a burning desire among the global audience who were spurred to make an impact in their respective societies. No sooner had the reverberating speeches rounded off than the announcement of the 2023 FALA Award winners commenced. With joy, the winners surged forward as the outstanding accomplishments were announced walking down their aisle for their prestigious accolades. From Togo, Ghana, Uganda and several African countries, the young champions were duly recognized for their innovative and humanitarian projects to make the continent a better place for Africans. As always each award was accompanied with a special financial prize to the sum of $10,00 and the Star Prize winner got an additional $25,000. It’s on record that in the past 10 years, over $1m has been given to winners of the Future Africa Leaders Award by the founder and President of Future Africa Leaders Foundation, Reverend (Dr.) Chris Oyakhilome DSc., DD. .

    A Spirit power life built on the scriptures. Words of life and Power. Greater, greater than our enemies and all their poison. Greater than all their gang stalking, abuse, surveillance- control freaks. Control freaks who want to drag you down with them, to their level. God is the only God higher, greater full of power and whose ways are a wonder. "the Lord is above all gods for the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them" "though i walk through the midst of trouble thou wilt revive me" "greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world" "Whatsoever is Born of God overcometh the world and this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith". Building up faith is awesome! haha it overcomes the world! Building with scriptures that say Victory! Triumph! Conquer! uPower! Glory! Thats a sure place to dwell!.A fortress!

I am so much convinced there is a pressing need to rise of the task even at 40+ age is not and will never be a barrier for me. There are lots to do rather than complaints, criticism and castigation. To all the Loveworld Family, you are real a good an example to the Body of Christ and the whole wide world , it will always be from Glory to Glory in Jesus. Thank YOU for Re branding Africa by giving it a new name, no longer a Doom but GREEN ! I LOVE and CELEBRATE YOU SIR, MAN OF GOD: PASTOR CHRIS.

We applaud you our 2 Mighty Generals of God Ps Chris & Benny Hinn We See the prayer the Lord Prayed over 2 millennia ago fulfilled in our eyes "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” "
