Founder and Lead Pastor of Celebration Church International (CCI), Pastor Emmanuel Iren, has shared how his passion for learning and access to religious resources inspired him to embrace technology early, making him one of the first people in Nigeria to own an iPad.
Speaking about his love for studying and his dedication to understanding the Bible through various translations, Pastor Iren explained that his desire for convenience and efficiency drove his decision to adopt the device in its early days.
“I was one of the first people to have an iPad in Nigeria. I got mine in 2010,” he said. “When I saw it, I realized it had all the answers I’d been looking for in one place. I needed something portable. I was in a learning phase and wanted to absorb as much information as possible.”
Pastor Iren’s revelation underscores his commitment to continuous spiritual growth and innovation in ministry. His story also reflects how technology can serve as a powerful tool for personal development and spreading the gospel in today’s digital era.
