Rev. Dr. Lucky Ibe and Pst. Mrs. Ibe-Chibuzo Ifeoma, founders of Divine Glory Rising Mission Schools
Could you start by telling us a little about
yourself and your background?
My name is Pst. Mrs. Ibe-Chibuzo Ifeoma. I am married to Rev. Dr. Lucky Ibe, a
former flight engineer of the Nigerian Air Force, who is now the General
Overseer of Divine Glory Center Church International.
What inspired you to establish Divine Glory Rising Mission School? What was the driving force behind this vision?
As ministers of the gospel, we are inspired by the biblical principle of
training up a child in the way he should go, as recorded in Proverbs 22:6. We
see this as part of our ministerial duty to raise godly seeds—people who will
represent Christ on earth as His ambassadors.
Could you share your educational
qualifications and any relevant experience that prepared you for starting and
running a school?
By the grace of God, I am a trained teacher. I hold an NCE and a BA.Ed. in
English from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. My husband holds a doctorate
degree in Biblical Law. With his military background, he deeply understands the
value of discipline and training. Together, we decided to invest in the
education and moral upbringing of children to help them stand out in society.
Looking back, how proud are you of what Divine Glory Rising Mission School has achieved since its inception?
By the grace of God, Divine Glory Mission Schools have raised godly children
who are on the path to becoming all that God has ordained for them. It is truly
fulfilling to see the impact we have made in their lives.
How would you describe the success of the
students who have graduated from your school? Are there any remarkable stories
of alumni that you’d like to highlight?
Every child who graduates from our school is a promising individual. They excel
in their various higher institutions and vocations. Those pursuing trades or
skills are thriving as experts in their fields because they were taught
godliness and the value of hard work.
What unique approaches or teaching methods does Divine Glory Rising Mission School employ to ensure students excel academically and personally?
We introduce Christ to our pupils and students, encouraging them to understand
that without Him, they can do nothing. We instill in them the virtues of hard
work, diligence, and total trust in God, which have greatly contributed to
their success.
Education often comes with challenges,
especially in Nigeria. What are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced in
managing the school, and how have you overcome them?
One major challenge has been finances, as school operations are
capital-intensive. Another is the lack of awareness among some people in our
community about the value of education. By God’s grace, we have overcome these
obstacles through prayer, resourcefulness, and ongoing sensitization efforts to
encourage parents to prioritize their children’s education.
What role do you believe parents play in a
child's education, and how does your school involve parents in the learning
process?
Parents play a vital role in their children’s education. We encourage them to
prioritize good home training, provide moral support, and equip their children
with necessary academic materials. Our school fosters collaboration with
parents through the Parents-Teachers’ Fellowship (PTF), where we pray and
strategize together to raise well-rounded children.
In the future, what are your plans or dreams
for Divine Glory Mission School? Are there any upcoming projects or expansions
you’re excited about?
It has always been our dream to expand this vision into a higher institution,
God willing.
Finally, what advice would you give to other
educators or entrepreneurs who wish to start a school in Nigeria, especially
given the current educational landscape?
School business is a long-term project. My advice to educators is to embrace
patience and work diligently to achieve their goals. With total trust in God,
diligence, and hard work, they will fulfill their purpose.
Pst. Mrs. Ibe-Chibuzo Ifeoma’s dedication to education and unwavering faith are a source of hope for the next generation. Her advice to educators to practice patience and hard work reflects the values that have led Divine Glory Rising Mission Schools to success. With plans for expansion, the school remains an inspiration and a positive force in the community.
