Portrait International Foundation (PIF) is a faith based Non-Governmental Organisation. It was borne out of a prompting:
1. To lead and to unveil ‘the real man’ that are innately giants but are currently being dwarfs by issues of life.
2. To promote and advance religious freedom for all people both local and international.
3. To anticipate, prevent and respond to attacks against individuals and groups on basis of their religion, including programmes designed to help ensure that such groups can persevere as distinct communities.
4. To promote accountability for the perpetrators of such attack.
5. To ensure equal right and legal protection to individual and groups regardless of beliefs.
6. To improve the safety and security of houses of worship and public spaces for all faiths.
7. To protect and preserve the cultural heritage of religious communities.
In one of my trying times, I decided to seek God’s face in the place of deep prayers and He gave me three letter words; ‘C P R.’ I asked what these alphabets represent.
It was revealed to me that
‘C’ stands for
confusion. He said in this world, there are many who are so confused, demented and unclear in their direction in life and promised me that anyone who listens to my voice will not know confusion but will have proper and defined direction of where their lives will go.
‘P’ is for
poverty. He said most people are into different vices as a result of being poor and that anyone who listens to my voice will not know poverty but wealth, prosperity and richness.
‘R’ is for
reproach. He said many are facing shame, humiliation and misfortune to the extent that their heads are bowed in shame and promised that whosoever listens to me or reads any material that emanates from me will not be reproached but will receive praise, honour and commendation.
The organization was inaugurated on Thursday May 7, 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.
