The Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International (COFI) revisited the earthquake victims in the nation of Turkey in an intervention tagged, Hope Relief Mission 2.0. In February 2023, the nations of Turkey and Syria were affected by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake affecting over 17.9 million persons throughout the border region leaving millions in urgent need of aid and healing.

Founded by the Man of God Pastor Chris Oyakhilome in 2008, COFI’s mission is aimed at eradicating poverty, providing quality education, promoting economic growth, and responding to natural and man-made disasters.
The inaugural relief effort by COFI in Turkey revealed a notable number of individuals residing in the IDP camp who are contending with emotions of depression, frustration, and emotional anguish. This prompted COFI to acknowledge the pressing necessity for a relief campaign that integrates psycho-social support services alongside vital relief provisions.
The team took steps to link many of these individuals to the Healing Stream Live Healing Services led by Pastor Chris—an online quarterly event designed to address the healing of those who are unwell or suffering, using principles from the teachings of the Word of God.JAMB Portal
The people in the city of Nurdagi were deeply moved as COFI volunteers showed them videos of the Healing Streams in Turkish. Many complained of depression, arthritis, and other sicknesses. A Turkish lady narrated her story of how she was the only survivor of her family after burying 15 members who died during the earthquake. This caused her to lapse into depression. The cry of the residents was “Pastor Chris please we need healing, please help us!” They were given relief materials and thanked Pastor Chris for praying for them.
