About Us

---

Pastor Anelechi was 28 years old when he was saved in 1990. He subsequently served as a home church pastor through Glory Tabernacle Ministry in Western Nigeria. In 1993, he was called  into full time Ministry. In 1994 he enrolled in  cross-cultural mission training under Calvary Ministries (CAPRO) in Jos, Nigeria. Upon graduation he became a member of the full time staff of CAPRO and served among different unreached people groups in northern Nigeria for many years. Bidemi was also a full time missionary  with CAPRO.   

In 1998 Pastor Anelechi and Bidemi beccame engaged and on July 3rd 1999 they were married. From the onset of their marriage they both  desired to see the children of the poorest of the poor raised for Christ, and to help  them develop a firm foundation in the Word. In 2006, after many years of  service under CAPRO, they asked for their release of duty and for prayers for their new calling, the Crown of Life Outreach Ministries (COLOM), which they founded and officially  registered with the Government of Senegal in June 2008.  

Being trained under Calvary Ministries (CAPRO) they share a similar belief. Crown of Life Outreach Ministries (COLOM) is a non-profit organization that lives by faith and trusts the Lord for provision. Moreover, it is a non-denominational global Christian missionary movement of African origin, taking the gospel to Africa and to the remaining un-evangelized parts of the world, as God directs.

Pastor Anelechi and Bidemi have taken in numerous children over the years, caring for them as any loving parents would. The Crown of Life Outreach Ministries (COLOM) started its Christian missionary work and youth ministry through this children outreach. Their faith reaches far beyond the walls of their home and into the community of Passi, Senegal, as well as nearby villages. In 2013, they had their first child, a baby girl named Covenant Elisabeth after 14 years of marriage.  

In 2005, Pastor Anelechi and Bidemi's vision grew to build “Ker Boroom Bi” which means “The Lord’s House” in Wolof, which is spoken in Passi. Wolof is the language of the Wolof people group, who are indigenous in Senegal. Through Ker Boroom Bi (KBB), they will minister to the children of the poorest of the poor by providing them with their most basic physical and spiritual needs.
