On the vision of the church, with focus on the name, hence Caring People’s Church, he said: “I was just in my prayers when I saw ‘Caring’ and I also felt in my spirit that the vision will not rhyme with the other Ministry. So, that was why I had to put in my resignation letter and then I left.”
Asked about the funding of the church, the Cleric who boasted that the church had on innumerable occasions intervened in the financial needs of many indigents, pointed out that God who gave him the vision does not hesitate in reaching out to them in times of need, as he noted that “God is the giver of the vision so he also provides.”

To this effect, Pastor Otti said: “it’s a universal truth. Even apart from Ministries, in ordinary careers in life, people are influenced by what they see others achieve. But, if you remain steadfast and know that the one that has called you into the career or Ministry is able to take you to the top. So, you don’t have to be in a hurry”, he advised.
