Bishop Mike Okonkwo of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM) surprised his wife, Peace Okwonkwo, of 37 years with a second proposal, on Sunday June 11, 2017. He went on his knee and proposed to her in the presence of his congregation after they had a thanksgiving session during the service to mark her 65th birthday.

Peace Okonkwo has once told Kemi Filani that her husband (Bishop Okonkwo), couldn’t propose to her when they first met becausehe was shy. In her words;

“Bishop is a very shy person and he could not talk to me. After the Civil War, everybody started to go to church because there was nothing to look forward to..he could not propose to me. It was his elder sister that walked up to me on his behalf.”
