  1. You didn’t Mention God’s APPLE CITY ASSEMBLY INT’L ( GACA), the Founder is Pastor Josiah Michael but it is own by Jesus Christ with 330 branches in each states in Nigeria and had branches outside Nigeria over 80 Countries in the World while the Headquarter of the is in Usieffurun City, Ughelli North Delta State, Nigeria with over 6millions population across the world.

  2. YOU PEOPLE MAKE A MISTAKE EACH TIME YOU REFER TO CHURCH FOUNDERS AS “THE OWNER OF THE CHURCH”. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO MISLEAD PEOPLE INTO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE BUSINESS EMPIRES. JESUS OWNS THE CHURCH NOT ANY MORTAL MAN!
