Who we are

How it all started

Background of Ministry

The conception of EAM by the Founder, Rev Joseph Eastwood Anaba was birthed out of his life experiences as a young and dynamic speaker, preaching REVIVAL to the body of Christ in churches and communities.

In 1987, Northern Deliverance In Tears Ministry (NINTAM) was born in the Upper North Region of Ghana with the purpose of bringing revival to a region that was steeped in tradition.

In 1988, following a clash between operations of the traditional churches and the dynamic fast pace culture of NINTAM, the ministry was changed to Broken Yoke Foundation.

Over time, other branches of Broken Yoke Foundation were formed, prompting a need to settle down, teach and grow the congregation. The tone of aggressive preaching that characterises evangelistic ministries and the constant exertion of energy had to give way to a culture of dwelling together as families for fellowship and mutual edification. This led to to a change of the church’s name to Fountain Gate Chapel.

After over 22 years as the General Overseer and Chairman of Fountain Gate, Rev Eastwood Anaba was led to step down as Chairman, it was time for him to enter another phase of his ministry – a full cycle where he started with God.

The ministry ought to be our ministry and not my ministry. I should do what I am most gifted and resourced to do – preaching and ministering the spirit to the body of Christ. Others must exercise their gifts and release their potential in the church.

Rev Eastwood’s rejuvenated passion was geared towards, revival within the body of Christ; taking the vision of the spirit beyond the shores of Africa; drawing out the gifts and resources within the body of Christ and ministering in the spirit.

On the backdrop of this renewed passion and returning to his roots of why and when God called him, a new ministry was born – Eastwood Anaba Ministries (EAM)
