How to Visit SCOAN Without Invitation in 7 Easy Steps

Whether you are planning to visit SCOAN from Europe, America, Africa or anywhere else in the world, it can be quite a daunting task – and understandably so.

The bulk of daily correspondence to the Synagogue, Church of all Nations (SCOAN) is unimaginable.

People visit SCOAN from all over the world every single day for one reason or the other. As a result, it is incredibly difficult to get an official invitation from the church.

You have to wait on end and often get a bit frustrated after submitting the visitors’ questionnaire form in vain.

If, however you eventually get an invite from SCOAN after filling the visitation form, you might face the problem of pricey accommodation within the church premises. Not everyone can afford the staggering amount it takes to live there, but it is best if you can.

These are two obvious challenges most people often face while planning their SCOAN visit. First, you need to have the luck of getting an official invite; then you will have to deal with the high cost of accommodation within SCOAN premises.

Not to worry though, there are faster, easier and cheaper ways to visit SCOAN even without an official invitation from the church.

And like everyone else (all international visitors), you will attend church service in the main auditorium, attend the living water service and be equally prayed for by the Man of God, Prophet TB Joshua.
