Founder’s Story

Rev. Agboto Christian founded ELMI out of a deep love for children and a divine calling to serve others. As a child, he dreamed of becoming a father to many, not realizing that his vision extended far beyond biological children.
Upon giving his life to Christ, Rev. Christian realized that his calling extended beyond his personal aspirations. God revealed a mission of leadership and care—a calling to guide His people and extend love to children who lacked familial support.
With God’s guidance, Rev. Christian has dedicated his life to raising and mentoring children. Many of these children have grown to become successful professionals such as teachers, journalists, and business owners. His passion for nurturing future leaders has also led to the establishment of a school, where over 200 children, including 54 orphans, receive education and support. The ministry’s school continues to be a beacon of hope for vulnerable children.
