Warning Trumpet Evangelical Mission (WATREM), a non-denominational evangelistic and teaching commission, was inaugurated on Wednesday, November 6, 1996.
The inauguration was a brief, low-key ceremony featuring only three people:
Lady Evangelist Mrs. Elizabeth Abosede Idowu
(now Evangelist/Prophetess E. B. Okeleye – officiating)
Sister Mrs. Dorcas Ben-Seth
Evangelist Kamar Iyere Omo-Sadiq
(now Apostle Isaac Iyere Ben-Seth)
The ceremony took place in the living room of the vision bearer, marking the humble beginning of what has grown into a sustained and impactful evangelistic mission.
Since its inauguration in 1996, WATREM has consistently, vigorously, and diligently pursued its God-given mandate through seminars, conferences, revivals, crusades, teaching programmes, and charity.
Over the years, the Mission has marked significant milestones, including:
20th Anniversary (2016)
25th Anniversary (2021)
Through every season, WATREM has remained faithful to its original calling—preaching Christ, teaching the truth of God’s Word, and serving humanity in love.
WATREM’s areas of calling include, but not limited to, the following: seminars, conferences, revivals, crusades and charity. Our instruments of operation include, but not limited to, the following: teaching, drama, music and literature. (Greater details of our mandate and the tools are contained in THE VISION…THE MISSION.)
Warning Trumpet Evangelical Mission (WATREM) exists to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism, teaching, revival, and charitable service, while fostering unity among believers across denominational boundaries.
The Mission is committed to equipping Christians for acceptable service, faithful leadership, and effective ministry through structured teachings, practical training, and Spirit-led programmes.
Since its inauguration in 1996, WATREM has consistently, vigorously and aggressively pursued its mandate.
The following are some of the major highlights of our activities in the last close to three decades:
A long-running, broad-based teaching series under the Institute of Practical Ministry (IPM), focused on Christian service, leadership, integrity, and faithfulness.
Yearly inter-denominational conferences organised in collaboration with churches and Christian associations for edification and revival.
Through the Christ Liberation Squad (CLS), WATREM conducts revivals, open-air crusades, drama and music evangelism, and special outreach programmes.
Including targeted teachings for ministers, interpreters, choirs, music leaders, women in ministry, and youths.
