Watchman Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement
The Watchman Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement (WCCRM) also known as Voice of the Last Days Ministry, is an international Christian Pentecostal church located in Nigeria with her headquarters in Lagos. The movement was founded in 1985 by Pastor Aloysius Chukwuemeka Onyenemelitobi Ohanebo, the General Superintendent of WCCRM.[1] with over hundred and twenty thousand members nationwide [2] The movement has numerous branches all over Nigeria, in several parts of Africa, the Middle East, Europe, United Kingdom, Canada and the United States of America. [3] The Watchman Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement is: a place where God has placed His Name, His Word, His Spirit and power. A place of encountering the Lord, revelation knowledge, worship of God in spirit and in truth and where stones of life are turned into pillows of pleasure. The word “Catholic” in her name is used in its original sense, i.e., “universal” or “for all” [4] The Movement is taxed with prosecuting the Second Exodus (mass movement of men from diverse errors and ungodly practices to the liberating truth of the gospel of Christ) [2] through the unique vision and mission that God has given to the General Superintendent tagged "The Lord's 3-Fold End-Time Project"
Mission and Vision

- Raising a great army of Christians from the various denominations for an imminent great harvest of souls into the Kingdom of God

It was inaugurated in November 2000 at Lagos, Nigeria and the conference has spread across the globes over the decades. [5]
Another prominent convention, the Internal Ministers' Conference is an annual conference where all the ministers and workers of WCCRM to listen to the General Superintendent, reiterating the vision of the Watchman as well as planning strategies for its execution. It holds every January [citation needed]
