The 2026 edition of the All Believers Championship (ABC) drew strong participation, with over 20 schools and churches taking part in the event held on April 24, 2026, at the TNL Headquarters in Agbor, Delta State. Participants competed for prizes valued at up to ₦500,000.

Known as ABC 2026, the programme is a global student conference that combines a Bible-based quiz competition with career development sessions, study abroad guidance, and teacher training initiatives.

The event was organised by Radical World Changers, a non-denominational organisation focused on promoting faith, academic excellence, and healthy competition among young people.

Speaking at the event, the National Director of the All Believers Championship, Isioma Monye, said the initiative was established to positively shape the mindset of young people and guide them toward purposeful living.

According to her, the conference seeks to introduce participants to the teachings of Jesus Christ while equipping them with practical tools to make meaningful contributions to society.

“This initiative was created to help young people develop the right mindset and understand how they can transform their world,” she said.

Monye, who also served as a judge, urged participants to apply lessons from the programme in their daily lives, noting that the championship has witnessed steady growth.

“We started three years ago with over 80 individual participants. Last year, we had about 16 teams, and this year, participation grew to about 20 teams. The programme continues to expand with increasing partnerships,” she added.

She attributed the sustained growth to consistent effort by organisers and support from partners.

Also speaking, the Executive Director of Radical World Changers Worship, Debby Yinka Wonders, described the 2026 edition as both impactful and inspiring.

She noted that, beyond spiritual development, the programme exposed students to emerging career opportunities, including discussions on artificial intelligence and other evolving fields.

“This conference is designed to stretch students both spiritually and academically, giving them a solid foundation for future success,” she said.

Wonders commended the turnout and appreciated partners, volunteers, and participating institutions for their contributions. She also acknowledged the role of teachers, praising their dedication despite prevailing economic challenges.

“Teachers have shown great commitment, often making personal sacrifices to guide these students. Their contribution cannot be overlooked,” she said.

Participants also shared positive experiences from the programme.

Divine Ifeoma of Best Kids School said the event inspired her to pursue her career goals despite challenges, adding that it boosted her confidence and focus.

Okwara Victory of Idumotu Secondary School highlighted the importance of developing multiple skills, noting that the programme encouraged him to combine different career paths.

Similarly, Divine Rejoice of Moir Memorial Foundation School said the experience broadened her perspective on career opportunities and personal development.

The event was open to students, parents, schools, and churches, providing a platform for learning, networking, and future planning.

A partner at the event and founder of Scholarwaka UK, Engr. Lucy Ikpesu-Ewhubare, urged students to remain determined in pursuing their ambitions. She advised them to study diligently, build meaningful relationships, and uphold strong values.

At the end of the competition, I.I. Erigbuem Secondary School emerged as the overall winner, while God’s Hand School placed second.

The competition featured 18 teams at the preliminary stage and progressed through multiple rounds, including Bible quizzes, career talks, and academic guidance sessions.

Partners included BIU Nigeria, Scholarwaka, YouVersion, Wonderside, Courage Strings, Bundye Medical Laboratory Consults, The Visage Studios, and TMAK Consultancy.

With its blend of academic development and spiritual engagement, ABC 2026 continues to position itself as a growing platform for youth empowerment in Delta State.
