Leader of the Synagogue, Church of All Nations, Evelyn Joshua, has expressed gratitude to God as the ministry celebrated the 20th anniversary of its television platform, Emmanuel TV.
The anniversary service, held on Sunday, March 8, 2026, drew congregants, partners, and viewers from across the globe for thanksgiving, reflection, and prayers.
Preaching from James 1:2–8, Pastor Joshua encouraged believers to remain steadfast in faith, noting that challenges and trials often strengthen faith and draw people closer to God.
She recalled that before the launch of Emmanuel TV, the late founder of SCOAN, T. B. Joshua, faced a setback when his programme was removed from national television, creating uncertainty about the ministry’s broadcast future. She said the late cleric responded with prayer and submission to authority, a decision that ultimately paved the way for Emmanuel TV’s establishment.

Over the past two decades, the network has grown its global reach through satellite broadcasting, online streaming, and social media, attracting millions of viewers worldwide.
Pastor Joshua acknowledged the challenges along the way but expressed gratitude to God for sustaining the ministry.
As part of the anniversary activities, Pastor Joshua and Emmanuel TV partners carried out a humanitarian outreach in Oko Baba, distributing food items, wheelchairs, and financial assistance to community members. Quoting the late T. B. Joshua, she reminded congregants that “true love expresses itself in giving,” emphasizing that compassion and charity remain central to the ministry’s mission.
The celebration concluded with prayers of thanksgiving as congregants and international visitors reflected on Emmanuel TV’s 20-year journey of spreading the Christian message globally.
