Glory be to God in the highest!
On behalf of myself and family, I wish to thank God for His hand upon the
Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries worldwide (MFM), especially
concerning all the awesome testimonies of the move of the Holy Spirit,
delivering and changing lives for good on both members and persons coming

Introduction (Arrival Preamble)
To the glory of God, on Sunday, xx, 2019, I resumed at the TMPM-MFM Warri Region
Headquarters, Warri, for my 2-months Internship after the School of Ministry training
and impaction. This has been my Church before going for the Schoool of Ministry and
tasks were given to me in the pastoral.
I met briefly with the Pastors, Ministers, Group Heads and the leadership at the Regional
Headquarters same day to solicit for their continued support and also to know from them
the area where improvement is needed from me being their colleague before SoM
training. A schedule to meet with the Branch Pastors was also drawn. This is to ascertain
how they are coping with directives from the International and Regional Headquarters
and to also know the areas of improvement.
Geographical Location/Brief History
Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministries Tent Makers Pastoral Ministry Warri is situated at Cyprian
schools, Ekpan; a place is bought for the church.
The Region has established two branches within Warri and surburb.
Ekpan a small village with an area of farmlands that became today the land nass where the Warri
Refinery, the Petrochemicals, the Nigeriam Pipeline and Products Distribution Compant and the
Nigeria Gas Compay, some other Companies; namely Cheron, Texaco, Slumberger, Halibuton to
men a few.
The TMPM Warri Region is located in Ekpan. Through the benefits of the Nigerian petroleum
industry, Ekpan was further developed, with aspects of modernization such as overpasses, city
blocks, taller and more substantial buildings. There are a number of institutions of tertiary
education in around Ekpan, mostly government-owned. These institutions include, Petroleum
Training Institute, Effurun, the Petroleun University, Effurun. Osubi Airport located on the
outskirts of the city is 30miniutes from Ekpan. Aero Contractors and Arik Air Nigeria have
schedule flights programme for domestic flights.

Spiritual Mapping.
Located in the Niger Delta, most people from here are possessed with several types of Marine
Spirits. This is quite related to the several activities of cultism’s and ritual killing that is rampant
here in Ekpan. The people are known for their immorality, deity and idol worshiping .

Assignment Reports.
Upon resumption, a schedule to meet with the Branch Pastor was drawn. This is to enanble me
visit the Branches and know what they are doing espectially if they are following directives from
the International and the Regional Headquarters. Reason being that some of the Branch Pastors
want to act independently.
Working with the Regional Overseer was interesting, educating and encouraging. Practical
pastoral knowledge on the day to day running of the Church as in teaching, preaching sermons
counseling members, attending to welfare of members, supervising group activities, managing
resources as disbussed by the Church Accountant and partaking in special programmes (such as
4
deliverance and crusades) expanded my knowledge and made me to be more confident in
carrying out assignments as directed.
The Regional Headquarter Church is not very big with an average attendance of about 50 adult
members. All the members know themselves, care for one another and encourage one another
in the Lord and work of the vine yard. There is no money here but love speaks and the
congregation are willing to learn and one can feel the hunger for the power of God here. The
congregation never saw me as a Pastor but as an Intercesor and Evangelist who have come to
revive the Church becase of my passion for prayers and drive for evangelism.
ACTIVITIES IN TMPM REGION XX.
TMPM Warri Activities were carried out according to the Church Programme
as in the sign post. Special programmes carried out during this one month
period in Warri were on Evangelism.
1. One to one Evangelism was introduced.
2. Evangelism General was intensified by introducing Sunday
morning evangelism from 0645am to 0745am before Church
Service starts from 0800am to bring awareness and increase
membership.

2.0 COOPERATION/SUPPORT
The workers and members of the congregation gave me maximum support
and cooperation during my one month internship period. Attendance at special
programs, deliverance programs and weekly services was very encouraging.
The members are zealous for God.
2.1 GROUP MEETINGS
6
There are some few functional church groups. They carry out their group
meetings according to MFM standards but the Prayer Warrior and Visitation
groups are yet to find their feet on ground. The reason is that, they are not
commitment.
The following groups are the functional Groups in the Church:
1. The Choir.
2. The Evangelism Group
3. Women Foundation
4. Welfare Department
5. Prayer Warrior.
6. Ushering Team
7. Membership Class
2.2 HOUSEFELLOWSHIPS
The house fellowship system is in place in TMPM Region XX. The pastorate is
enforcing house fellowship standards in the Region.
2.3 DECLARATION FOR CHRIST
A total of forty-five (45) people gave their lives to Christ during the period of
my internship.
2.4 CHURCH STRENGTH
The church strength was not consistent, but the record shows numerically
from 50-70 members attends Sunday services.
2.5 CHOIR GROUP
The choir members were consistent with their activities, in practicing and in
their deliverales, to sing Hymns, praises and worship.

Choir Ministration
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
During the 6-weeks stay ion Region 26 Headquarters Church,
the following were observed:
(i) The regional headquarters has a good and well-furnished
auditorium with all facilities. The Pastors at the Regional
Headquarters need training because some lack understanding
of their functional roles.
(ii) The Branch Pastors are not receptive to new ideas.
(iii) The Region’s network is good but the Branch Pastors do not
cooperate with the Regional Headquarters. They operate on
their own as they do not honour invitation for meetings or
send their reports on time. Even when queried, they put on
8
the act of rebellion and telling you that they understand the
doctrine of MFM better.
(iv) The workers are committed and in support of the host
Regional Overseer and members are generally financially
supportive in getting things done. This attitude was glaring
going by the activities carried out and achieved by team.
STRENGTH
The Regional Headquarter Church is in a strategic location and has the
tendencies for great expansion. Though, the church is situated in a rented
hall. Regular programs are usually carried out to project the image of the
ministry in the environment. The Sisters in Church form the larger number
of the membership.
WEAKNESSES
1. The Prayer Warrior is not functioning properly they need
reorientation, more members and commitment.
2. The visitation team too need reorientation/commitment.
3. A lot of groups are not functioning well due to lack of members
OPPORTUNITIES
There are great opportunities for expansion in the Region if the tool of
Evangelism is Adequately Stirred Up and the support of International
Headquarters is present and vigorously employed with the cooperation of
workers and members at large. The Udu Road branch Church may soon
overtake the Regional headquarters in terms of membership strength if
given maximum support.
THREATS
There are no threats as at now to the Church but with the kidnapping, ritual
killings and rapant robberies in Warri, one need to be careful in making
9
choice of where to go to or attend occasions. At Church Services days, it is
recommended that the law enforcement personel are hired to keep the
environment safe. Night movement should be discouraged.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
MFM TMPM Regional Headquarters Church.
1. There is need for well trained and experienced deliverance ministers at
the Regional Headquarters and Branches.
2. The house fellowship system should be properly looked into so as to
bring out the real vision. Members where lukewarm to attendance as
discovered from the home cells visited. Reason might be attested to
the long period of continual review of manual after completion
awaiting the review of the new manual “The way of Holiness” that took
the House Fellow Center to approve and review from the
Headquarters.
3. Ministers in the Regional Headquarters need training and retraining.
4. It is also recommended that capable hands should occupy the right
positions in some groups. Reason is due to members in the groups not
taking part in group meetings and no commitment.
5. The R. O. need to be stern in taking decisions to station Pastors that
disobey his authority and that of MFM TMPM Headquarters Instructions
and doctrine. Some of the TMPM Branch Pastors are pompous, take
decision on their own without relating to the center and sometimes
flouts the R. O’s instruction. The R. O’s power is limited in view of the
MFM TMPM Headquarters assessment and sustaining the few TMPM
Pastors in the Region. They are few because of the pastoral voluntary
philosophy of Tent Maker. Evidences are in the Regional Administrator
records.
6. Faulty sound system in the Church should be changed. This is already
being discussed.
10
THE 4M VISION.
The 4M vision of MFM is in place in the Regional Headquarters and there is
need to consolidate on this for more growth. The Regional WhatsApp Group
Chat has been activated an Bulk SMS for effective commuication of church
activities/prgramme.
4.0 CONCLUSION
The vision of the Internship will continue to grow because the lessons, the
challenges and the gains will in no small measure continue to equip and widen
the horizon of the modern day Pastor on what to do in any given situation and
circumstances he/she may find himself/herself.
The programme is commendable. It is a worthwhile experience which has been
very fulfilling.
It has jeered up sleeping pastors of the church. This Internship revival has
also given me the opportunity to meet other members of the church situated
in the old Midwest Region.
I want to give God the glory and to thank our “Baba Audu” – the Rector of
School of Ministry (SoM) for giving me the opportunity to serve in MFM TMPM
Warri Region, Warri. My prayer is that God will send Ministry workers to build
His church in MFM TMPM Warri Region to uphold and expand the church in
Jesus name, Amen.
Activity tables from the Region and Branches including Warri Branch are
attached with this report
Pictures of activities during the internship are also inclusive in this report.
11
God bless Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries and also pray that the
agenda of satan to use satanic pastors to bring down the Church, must fail.
The church is marching on and the gate of Hell will not prevail over it in Jesus
name, Amen.

MFM TMPM WARRI Regional Headquarter Church: - There were a lot of
testimonies and the Church and the testifiers were grateful to God for
deliverance and miracles that occurred. Here are some of the testimonies:
1. Sis Hope gave the testimony of a substance always moving
around her body and having a field day without stopping for a
period of 6-7months. She was deliver at the Midwest Region
Council Crusade and Anointing Service that took place at Warri
Prayer City, Okwuo-Edjeba during the ministration of the G. O.
our Father-in-the Lord. She saw a rat moving on her body as she
was taking into the spirit realm and a man standing by her told
her to shake it off. The rat fell on the ground and the man killed
it. When she regained consciousness and up till the time of
testifying over 24-hours, the movement in the body has
stopped. What a wonderful God we serve. The God of signs and
wonder.
2. Bro. Samuel gave the testimony of God healing process in his
life. For over a year and half after the motor accident he had,
with a spinal cord diagnosis, made him to walk again and not
only that, he can now stand for an hour. He gave back the honor
and glory to the Almighty God.
3. Sis. Endurance Tare testimony was that the Bus she boarded to
Ogbe joh waterside hah an accident, one death and several
injuries and nothing happened to her. Our God delivered her.
Importantly, a week later, on the same trip to Ogbe Ijoh
waterside to buy things, the taxi she boarded had accident again
on the the same spot, all persaagers including the driver, were
injured and rushed to the hospital except her. What a wonderful
God we serve.
4. Sis. Funmilayo thanked God for His goodness and mercy upon
her life and family for journey mercies during her travels, as she
is most times on the road.
A second testimony was how the Almighty God used the Pulpit
Rotation of the R. O. going for his assignment to change her
status of late coming to Church. Being a minister in the Church
and the R. O. giving her responsibilities of running the Church,
she had to arrive church early to put the Church ready for
service, activities and plan with the Pastors. This responsibilities
20
changed humor and for the period of the Pulpit Rotation, she
was never late to Church activities.
5. Bro Gabriel, a Capenter gave the testimony of how the Almighty
God saved him, with His mighty great right hand from spinal
cord problems, back pains, broken head, dislocated joints and
broken neck when he fell from the roof top of the house he
roofing to the concete ground floor and nothing happened to him
or sustained an sort of injury. To God the glory.
6. Sis Rose, a teacher came to give thaks to God for giving safe
trips every end when she travel from Warri to Burutu for God’s
protection amist several boat accidents. May the name of our
God Jehovah be praised for ever and ever, in Jesus name, Amen.
7. Sis, Funmilayo testified to favour of God in her life and family.
This time the Almighty God put her enemies to shame and the
trespasser into her husband land in the village. The court rule in
favour of her husband and the land has been returned to him.
The devil was disgraced again. Honour, glory, majesty be
ascribed to our God, Jehovah Adonai.
8. Bro. Samuel gave another testimony on his healing status. How
the Almighty God is doing miracles in life. He has eliminated
some of the strong pain killers he has been taken to reduce pain
at the waist session, thigh and fore-muscle pains due to an
Auto-accident. Secondly, the drugs caused abdominal pepsic
ulcer. He is now healed through prayers and the healing power
of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was confirmed in the preparation
for the PMCH Programme for June, 2018; he was able to fast for
the first time in 2-years. May the name of our God, Yahweh be
magnified.
New Converts
MFM TMPM REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS CHURCH: - During the period of
my internship, a total of forty-five (45) persons gave their lives to Christ.
This is the outcome of the vigorous evangelism embarked upon. But after
they have worship with us two or three times. They will move to our 2-sister
churches within the environment, MFM Churches at Shagwolo and Bencaly.
These Churches are located close to the Residential Area on the NPA
21
Expressway, Ekpan. They complain of the danger they are exposed to, in
crossing the express way with their chidren expectially and to the family.
We thank God that they are still in faith and attending a MFM Church
(regular and not TMPM
It is important to note that, for the expansion and growth of MFM TMPM
Church at Cypriam Schools, NPA Expressway to explode, the Church must
relocate strategically to either sides of the Expressway that is populated.
This point has been identified and stated in my recommendation.
