Pastor John Anosike Career
He became a member of Christ Apostolic Church in 1946. He was ordained as Pastor in 1959 with ordination registration number 115. For many years, he was living in the North where he got married to an Igbo woman born by a Prophetess who was also a midwife. His mother-in-law was a Prophetess who was also residing in the North. One day in 1956, the mother-in-law saw a vision where she was directed to go and plant CAC in her native Igbo land. She left the North for Owerri.
Since Pastor Anosike was married to the only daughter, they all left for Owerri. They planted the first CAC assembly in Owerri. They moved from original land to Wetheral Road. They planted many other assemblies of CAC in Owerri.
Later on, Pastor Anosike led the demand for the creation of Owerri as a district administrative division of the church. Eventually, Owerri was created as Section 1.
Pastor Anosike was promoted to District Superintendent. He remained at CAC Wetheral road for some time as a District Superintendent before he was moved to Enugu after promotion. The Wetheral Road Church today is a DCC headquarters.
