Could a simple act of love and mercy inspire the founding of a church? This is the Church of Brotherhood and the Cross. It stands as a testament to the gratitude felt by Mother Mary Akpan towards the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star’s founder, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu. In 1974, she journeyed from London to the BCS World Headquarters in Calabar, Nigeria, seeking healing for her daughter’s illness. Leader Olumba Olumba Obu’s pronouncement of healing sparked a mission in Mother Mary. She vowed to bring the message of the Kingdom to Britain. Initially, a small group of Nigerian brethren gathered in South London. They later found a home in Kennington before finally establishing Mill Hill Bethel in a former Methodist church in North London in 1978. This marked a pivotal moment for the Church of Brotherhood and the Cross in its journey to spread its message of faith and love.
