This Statue Of Jesus Fulfills This Man’s 20-Year Dream

Jesus de Greatest is the largest of its kind in Africa – a much-needed symbol of faith to worshippers and everyone in view!

We wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. – Titus 2:13

Obinna Onuoha’s mother fell seriously ill in 2012, and he promised her that he would build a church if she survived. Luckily, she pulled through and the Nigerian businessman fulfilled his promise.

An idea that came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago – Onuoha commissioned a 30-foot tall white marble sculpture of Jesus Christ (dubbed Jesus de Greatest), the largest of its kind on the continent, as a symbol of faith to worshippers and everyone in view!
