Overcomer Church
Markus and Yetunde heard the call of God on their lives when He took them out of the corporate world and gave their lives a new meaning. Having been in their previous church for 12 years serving there as elders and trustee (Markus) they started Overcomer Church within their own neighbourhood in Hampshire, UK, in June 2020 and have now moved to Cardiff to be closer to their two sons and their families.
What we are passionate about:
To help believers to fall in love with the Word of God and to help them to understand what the living Word means for us as people and for our lives today and tomorrow.
What we believe in:
The only truth and authority is in the Holy Scriptures (e.g. NIV, NKJV, ESV to name a few)
Joshua 1:8 (ESV) “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”Justification is by Grace alone (not works) through faith
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (ESV) “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,”
John 3:16-17 (ESV) “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 (ESV) “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
Romans 5:8 (ESV) “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”God is one but three persons (Holy Trinity = God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit)
John 1:14 (ESV) “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
2 Corinthians 3:17 (ESV) “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
Markus
Markus had been a nominal Christian most of his young and adult life but never made the true commitment for Christ until he was 40 years of age. Distracted by the world and likewise lost in it, he struggled in corporate life. Then, God called him out of the corporate world and showed him through personal hardship that money and status in the world can hold us back from the true joy and peace that comes from serving God. Markus has since never looked back and is hungry for the truth and where it is found, in the Word of God and through revelations by the Holy Spirit. Markus has been blessed with the opportunity to spend most of his time in full time ministry whilst supporting his wife in her widespread activities within and outside the Kingdom of God.
Yetunde
Yetunde has been a born-again Christian from a young age but has had her ups- and downs in her walk with Christ until she met Markus and brought him to church. Together they were able to see with more clarity the truth in the Word of God and what it means to apply the Word of God in their lives and to live in Christ. Yetunde left the corporate world before Markus and started her own consultancy.
She is a successful author, coach and mentor as well as a speaker on culture, change, inclusion and love based leadership. She also runs an annual conference called “What’s your story” demonstrating the need for humility and the importance of who you are over what you have or do and how that can have a positive impact in the professional and private environment.
She leads Overcomer Women – a women’s group under the cover of Overcomer Church and not restricted to Overcomer church members. The purpose of Overcomer Women is to Equip, Empower and Multiply. The vision is raising up women of God who love God and others, who share the Gospel and overcome challenges and are living testimonies and role models raising up other women likewise.
