Favour Italumhe

Deacon

Favour has been attending IBC since 2008. She and her husband were both in the Thrive singles group for five years before they began dating and then married in 2016. Before getting married, they were involved in many service projects alongside fellow Thrivers, serving in the Laundry Love ministry for nine years as well as various other ministries such as homeless shelters, a local nursing home, the medical clinic, prayer ministry, Family Promise, and hospitality. Through Laundry Love, they met many different people from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds and told them about Christ. Some of them were very interested and wanted to know more about Him, so Favour and her husband organized a Bible study at their house to share Christ’s love with them. Favour has served on the hospitality ministry team for over 14 years, and loves standing at the door every Sunday morning, welcoming people to church. She also serves as a communion usher, releasing rows for communion every Sunday morning. In her free time she enjoys running, listening to gospel music, and praying for people.
