Royal Victory Church International

The first Royal Victory Church was birthed in China in September 1997, by our Senior Pastor, Rev. Dr. Daniel Enyeribe Michael-Mbawike.

But the story starts many years before. In 1991, the Lord called his servant, Daniel Michael-Mbawike, through the following scripture:

You did not choose me but I chose you, and I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask Him in my name.¨ John 15:16

The way and place was revealed on September 7, 1994, while he was in Lagos Nigeria to collect a visa for Britain, following the invitation of his Senior Pastor, Dr. Fefegha. He explains it this way:

“I was disturbed and greatly worried about the steps to take to fulfil the calling of the Lord. As I lay down, I had a vision: I was riding a unique bicycle through China. This bicycle reached a point and powered itself through where there was no way in the bush to the destination where people received me.”

In answer to the call, Pastor Daniel arrived in Hong Kong in June 1995 and contributed major assistance to existing Ministries and Churches. Thereafter, he was led into Mainland China in March, 1997. Initially he taught English language in a college, until the Lord spoke to Daniel on August 7, 1997, to plant Him a Church right in China! The Royal Victory Church like a root out of dry ground, grew from obscurity through persecution into the light. The Church has the five-fold Ministry in operation.

Initially the main role of Royal Victory International as a ministry in China was to take care of Nigerians who were away from home, train and equip them for their missionary fulfilment. That together we would evangelize and develop the land where God had brought us.

From the first church established in 1997 in China, Royal Victory International has now expanded to multiple churches across China, as well as Philippines, Nigeria, Cameroon, Macau and Hong Kong.

Pastor Daniel is the fifth out of six children born to Mr. & Mrs. Michael Mbawike of Umuabazu, Imo State, Nigeria. He is a phenomenal blessing to the body of Christ and a true leader. He has not always been up-up there, he has known the pain of suppression and rejection especially as a Christian youth leader. Even today we celebrate his willingness to answer God's call and passion for the work.

The next, soon coming phase, of the ministry of Royal Victory Church will be Rev. Dr. Daniel Michael-Mbawike's return to Nigeria with the mandate from the Lord to “Heal your people.”  We see the burden in his heart even now in the way he is mobilizing men to pray for this nation at this critical time.
