Word of Peace International Ministry, Inc. (WOP) was registered with the Texas Secretary of State in 2004. The ministry started in the home of Senior Apostle and 1st Lady Manu, where services were held on Saturdays at 6:00 p.m. and subsequently moved to Sunday mornings.
In January 2005, the church moved to the Quality Inn in Arlington, Texas, with Sunday service beginning at 10:00 a.m. After three months in the hotel, WOP moved to Avenue H in Arlington and added the Wednesday Mid-Week Bible Service, where an additional 40 members joined. With the increase of members, the church moved to a larger building on Lillard Road that seated about 100 members.
Through every season and every location, the call has remained the same: Kingdom expansion, leadership empowerment, and reaching the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
