Mr. Malachy Chimezie Onuwa stands as a cornerstone in FECA Nigeria's leadership legacy, embodying the organization's unyielding commitment to its vision of redeeming the desolation of our land and generation. Joining FECA in 2006 through the Orji Chapter in Imo Zone, he quickly rose through the ranks, demonstrating exceptional dedication that transformed him from a committed member into a visionary leader. His journey reflects the classic FECAite trajectory: starting with grassroots service, embracing sacrifices, and ultimately steering the national body during a pivotal era, inspiring thousands across Nigeria's 150+ chapters to keep the vision burning.

Personal Profile and Milestones

Born on May 4th, Malachy balances post-graduate studies with a thriving clothing business and active ministry work, showcasing the multifaceted excellence FECA cultivates in its members. His favorite meal—rice with chicken and cake—offers a glimpse into his approachable, joyful personality amid demanding schedules. A defining scripture for him, "Those who seek the Kingdom first, every other thing will seek them first," encapsulates his life philosophy, drawn from Matthew 6:33. This principle guided his tenure, prioritizing spiritual depth over worldly pursuits, much like the founding ten girls who exchanged letters post-1990 to sustain integrity against university corruptions.

Leadership Journey in FECA Nigeria

Malachy's ascent was marked by progressive roles that honed his administrative, outreach, and oversight skills:

• Outreach Coordinator (2007-2008): Here, he spearheaded soul-winning initiatives, aligning with FECA's core focus on Save Generation Next (SGN) and Spread programs targeting primary/secondary students. His efforts amplified chapter-level evangelism, reaching feeble youths in formative years.


• Imo Zonal Coordinator (2010-2012): Overseeing Imo's 17 chapters, he coordinated zonal congresses, retreats, and raking sessions, fostering unity and discipline while reporting to regional executives.


• Eastern Regional Coordinator (2012-2014): Managing zones like Abia (22 chapters), Rivers (5), and Enugu (5), he bridged chapters to nationals, preparing the ground for his presidential bid amid regional conventions.


• National President (2014-2016): As the 11th National President, inaugurated at the transformative "Exceeding Grace" convention (August 20-24, 2014, Enugu/Abakaliki), Malachy oversaw all 10,000+ members. Per FECA's constitution, he presided over National Executive Council meetings, summoned executives, resolved controversies, and coordinated nationwide activities—from Freshers Welcome Banquets (FWB) to Mission Training. Under him, FECA expanded, with key ministers like Pastor Ezekiel Atang and PapaDee (Adeolu Ogunnubi) sharing founding stories, reinforcing divine origins.

His presidency bridged eras, handing over to Ashiru Oluwaseyi in 2016's "Kingdom First" convention (Benin City). Malachy's emphasis on kingdom priority echoed in biennial events, ensuring leadership transitions remained Spirit-led, as in the founders' miraculous office assignments without duplicates.

Impact and Sacrifices

Like Ephraim Hosanna's passion—feeling "somebody will die" if missing activities—Malachy's service mirrored FECA's transformative power. He balanced academics/business with all-night retreats, outreaches, and conventions, boosting his prayer life and biblical depth. His clothing venture likely funded personal contributions to programs, embodying sacrifices akin to Dr. Edak Ezeanosike's pioneering days. Post-presidency, he remains a FECAite exemplar, mentoring via forums like FOSM (Forum of Senior Members), where elders guide Papae/Mamae at chapters.
