Disciples In the MarketPlace Worldwide, otherwise called DIMP Worldwide is a non-denominational, Christian non-profit organization with a God-ordained mandate to raise disciples of Christ in the marketplace and governance; people who will be kingdom-minded, prove God in their sectors and stand financially to promote the gospel. We collectively empower people through business trainings, skills acquisition and other works of charity. We also promote the gospel through helping missions and missionaries financially. Members and invitees meet weekly f9r one hour virtually, as we pray, talk and have an Apostle in the MarketPlace speaking on a topic for about 30 minutes. We are financially supported by contributions from friends and partners of the ministry. We have a global annual conference live every February, where lives are impacted and transformed for greater impact in the marketplace.
To raise disciples for Christ in the marketplace; People of Success empowered with Character and Faith.
To transform the minds of believers to be conscious of their spirituality and kingdom citizenship, not only in church pews but much more in their businesses and careers (marketplace).
We believe the BIBLE is the final authority for ALL that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS, and this well includes even our businesses and careers. We believe in the balance of the Tri-Prosperity; Soul Prosperity (Salvation & Spiritual Growth), Financial Prosperity (Wealth) and Health Prosperity (wholeness in body and mind).
We strongly believe that the Spirit of God is excellent and that the best things come from Him, as shown in nature. As His disciples in the marketplace, having the same Spirit of God, we display His excellence in our works.
No matter how the world views integrity as foolishness, we remain resolute that handling our businesses and careers by God’s standard is the right and only way to work. We believe using God’s Word as standard in the marketplace is a proof that we have faith in Christ Jesus and in the Word, and therefore don’t need to lose our integrity to win in the marketplace.
We strongly believe that the Spirit of God is excellent and that the best things come from Him, as shown in nature. As His disciples in the marketplace, having the same Spirit of God, we display His excellence in our works.
Positioned for dominion, we work with excellence, integrity and faith. Being the best at what we do, we are sorted after by kings and nobles. We are God’s financial army, His agents of marketplace revival and worldwide revolution from heaven. We are Disciples of Christ in the marketplace!

He was born on August 22nd, 1981 in the city of Benin, in former Bendel State (now Edo State). His sense of leadership and faith can be traced way back to his childhood when the stories of his beloved paternal grandmother of his brother- “Isaiah” who she claimed was a believer and a wealthy farmer motivated him together with video messages of men of faith like Late Arch. Bishop Benson Idahosa, RW Shwabach, Kenneth E. Hagin amongst others.
Academically, he has a BSc degree in Microbiology in the University of Benin. However, the passion to impact lives through speaking and coaching; and his prowess to negotiate business was quick to help him realise that he had to forge a new course to suit the yearnings of his heart.

God’s Billionaire as he is prophetically called, he is reputed for quo ng that; “Man cannot remove God from his Business without encountering catastrophic consequences. Christ will either be Lord of all or no Lord at all.”
My deepest desire is to cause men and women, young and old, black and white, no matter how faint their hearts or wobbling their knees will be to find God’s best and with godly motivation and deep resolve march on to conquer their fears and master their lives to rule in dominion”
