New Life Research Foundation, originating in 2013, was born out of a vision submitted to Pastor Dr. Ezekiel Hanior. The prophecy declared that this vision would transcend denominational barriers and have a worldwide influence beyond the confines of a traditional church setting. The journey began during a prolonged academic strike in Nigeria, where the visionary, Joseph Luper Tsenum, sought God’s guidance for his purpose. This quest led him to the establishment of New Life Research, aimed at mobilizing believers globally for revival through academics, research, and scholarships. Inspired by a book titled ‘The Journey into Your Vision’ by Bro. Gbile Akanni, the name New Life Research was received in 2013. This foundation is designed for those already transformed by Christ and those yet to experience this transformative new life in Him, who will also be instrumental in global revival through academics and research, as prophesied in Jeremiah 1:1-19, 51:20-24.
On October 23, 2017, the call to take the ‘initiation steps’ into nations came to fruition. A Facebook page was created, a group of believers gathered to pray, and the work commenced. Despite initial skepticism, some members secured scholarships and journeyed to Europe, while the visionary remained in Nigeria. Upon securing his own scholarship in 2018 and traveling to Russia for a Master’s program in 2019, belief in the vision grew. New Life Research Foundation was formally launched on November 22, 2019.
The mustard seed ‘NELIREF’ was officially registered as a Christian Academic/Research nonprofit organization with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Nigeria on March 2, 2022, and with the Georgia Secretary of States in the United States on May 17, 2023. The foundation has garnered over 20,000 followers on social media platforms, with numerous members securing scholarships globally. Through initiatives such as Pioneer Research Cohort, Trainings, Annual Conference, Scholarship Webinars, Social Media Evangelism, and Mentorship Programs, among others, in collaboration with partners like Adullam Calvary Mission and other research labs, NELIREF aims to mold members into impactful agents of revival in the nations.
