ABOUT US

Pastor Idohou Roland was born in South Benin to a family of four children. He started his ministry at the age of 23 in Cotonou serving 5 years as a translator for Divine Grace Ministry. Upon graduating from Living Word Bible School, he moved to Akpakpa where he was trained and ordained under the leadership of Rev. Odege Nnanna at Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Benin. After serving for three years under Rev Odege Nnanna, Pastor Roland was assigned to The Evangelical Presbyterian church Bohicon where he served as Residential Minister for 3 years. In 2008 God led Pastor Roland to start Salem Ministries. Through an orphanage and prison ministry a local church was established. Pastor Roland's favorite verse comes from the prophet Isaiah: “The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.” He invites you to become involved and to support the ministry!
