The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has mourned the passing of renowned evangelist and founder of the Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association, Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai, describing him as a preacher without borders whose One Million Man Crusades brought revival and healing across northern Nigeria.
In a condolence message signed by its Chairman, Rev. Joseph John Hayab, Northern CAN said the late evangelist’s ministry transformed lives and strengthened faith across denominational lines, noting that his passion for evangelism and unity left an enduring mark on the Christian community.
Rev. Hayab recalled that the late cleric visited Northern Nigeria several times for his famous One Million Man Crusades, which recorded massive attendance, miracles, and numerous conversions to Christ.
“The blessings of his several One Million Man Crusades in northern Nigeria remain evident. Many lives were turned to Christ, miracles happened, and souls were healed. He was a preacher with no national barrier,” Hayab stated.
