This is a brief biography of Bishop Agori Iwe. He was trained by the Church and for the Church. He served his Lord and Master as a School teacher, Catechist, Pastor, and Bishop. Throughout his ministry on earth, he served his master constantly and with undivided loyalty. Only few can equal his leadership qualities. He was loving, but firm; he taught his flock unceasingly to be dedicated to the cause of Christ, and in his last Synod the theme of which was “The Christian’s, Only Weapons are Prayer, Faith, and Love” he left the flock Christ entrusted to him in no doubt that he who called them is faithful and is able to keep them to the end. In his words “True, in this world there will indeed be much tribulation, but our hope is set on the knowledge that Christ bids us to be of good cheer for he has already overcome the world. Yes our war is not fought with weapons of flesh, yet they are strong enough to demolish fortresses, these are PRAYERS, FAITH, AND LOVE”.

It is a short biography of this faithful soldier of Christ, who fought and won that we here present to you, inadequate as the biography may be, in the hope that reading the story of the life and work of Agori Iwe, will stimulate and encourage you to try to fight the good fight of faith yourself, and follow his good examples. May the good Lord bless you as you read it.
