The founder of the Synagogue Church of Nations (SCOAN), the late Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua has been described as a man who touched the lives of millions and who also preached the word of God with power.
A South African nationalist, Dr. Kirstan Nematandam, stated this during a night of praise and worship service at the church’s international headquarters, Lagos, Nigeria, where many people from home and abroad gathered.
Prophet TB Joshua died on June 5, 2021, while having a retreat with some members of the church.
The night was agog with visitors from different parts of the world – America, Asia, Middle East, and Europe, who celebrated the third anniversary of Joshua’s death.
Nematandam stated: “T.B.Joshua was a great man of God, whose life was Christ-like, living the Word and practicing the word. He was the light shining in darkness, the most humble man you could ever come across, who touched the lives of millions, preaching the word with power and with an extra-ordinary philanthropy across the universe.”
Also, Pastor Sandro Gomes dos Santos, from Brazil said: “I am here to celebrate Prophet T.B. Joshua, a unique man, a unique prophet, a great man of God and his legacy remains. It is ageless and cannot be forgotten. The good works he did here on earth are wonderful and cannot be forgotten.”

One of the coordinators in the church, Mr. Segun Olanipekun, stated: “The last three years have been of joyful activities and the ministry has greatly expanded to the glory of God.”
Another Pastor from Argentina, Pastor Robert Acosta also described the late prophet as “the men of God who impacted lives and transformed generations under the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit never die.
