Under the dynamic leadership of Bishop Ogiste, First Jerusalem experienced tremendous growth spiritually and economically. “O” Taste and see that the Lord is good,” quotes Bishop Ogiste from Psalms 34:8. Bishop Ogiste puts these words into action. He broke “religious tradition,” constantly teaching the word of God in an uncompromising way. He is a loving shepherd of a church that calls itself, “The church of a second chance, where Faith, Hope, and Love keeps us together.” I Corinthians 13:13.
