Don’t go through life like you were dead yesterday and there was nobody to bury you today. Your life should not be seated on the misery of yesterday; tap into the new beginning grace with God and unlock your divine treasures

Uma Ukpai

Uma Ukpai (1945–2025) war ein nigerianischer Pastor und Massenevangelist der pfingstlich-charismatischen Bewegung mit zentralem Wirkungsort in Uyo. Er wurde durch überkonfessionelle Großveranstaltungen, Heilungskampagnen und soziale Einrichtungen bekannt, wobei die von ihm verkündeten Wunderheilungen von Kritikern als wissenschaftlich unbelegt eingestuft wurden. Bibellesern gilt er als einflussreicher Vertreter der westafrikanischen Erweckungsbewegung, dessen Schriften und Zitate die Themen Gebet, persönliche Umkehr und Standhaftigkeit betonen.
