About KMEN

KMEN is an uncompromisingly Bible-based, independent ministry to men.
Established nearly two decades ago, the ministry’s objective is to assist men, irrespective of their church affiliations, in their Christian Walk, that they may become better sons, brothers, husbands, fathers and leaders.

KMEN is determined to raise and disciple men, who will in turn raise and disciple other men, in an unbroken chain of victory and godly prosperity.
It is important to note that the ministry is not a Church and does not plan to become a Church.

With core vision to raise men:

Who are conscious of their status as sons of God, with a divine mandate to establish His will on earth;

Who manifest the divine nature imparted to them by their Father – at home, in the workplace and in society at large; 

In whom Christ-likeness is visible everywhere and at all times.

KMEN helps to transform men from being the problem or part of it to becoming the solution that God designed them to be when he made Adam, breathed his life into him and put him in charge of his earth.

Programmes of the ministry include the project ISI (Iron Sharpens Iron) a small group of minimum Four and maximum 12 men who meet regularly to encourage, sharpen and hold each other accountable., the quarterly Men Breakfast Roundtable (MBR) which brings men face to face with established leaders of men who share their experiences in their journey of Christ-likeness through careers, and of course the annual flagship Mega Summit which has held almost every month of May since 2012 in Lagos.

KMEN has a Board of Trustees (BoT) with an oversight function over the activities of the Ministry. Members include Archbishop John Osa-Oni (Vineyard Christian Ministry), Bishop Sunday Onadipe, Methodist Church of Nigeria, Diocese of Badagry., Rev Mike Udonquak, President of Risk Managers Society of Nigeria and Council Member (CCIC); Rev (Professor) Phillip Okerentugba, Regional Pastor, CCIC, PH and a Professor of Microbiology. Remi Akano, the ministry’s Chief Vision Steward, is an ex-officio member of the BoT.

Day-to-day affairs of KMEN is managed by a Board of Stewards, consisting of men committed to the vision, most of them with over ten years intensive involvement in ministry to men.
