Ezekiel Azonwu, son of Nigerian immigrants, knows what it means to dig deep, overcome hardship, and rise into purpose. In 2024 he launched the We Need to Talk Podcast, a global media conversation platform that tackles the most challenging topics in Christianity, reaching millions with unflinching truth, pastoral wisdom, and Spirit‑driven vulnerability. Through the podcast, 

Ezekiel and his team create space for honest dialogue on life, relationships, faith, and identity, all aimed at drawing believers deeper into intimacy with Christ and bolder in their assignment.

As host of We Need to Talk, Ezekiel is called to use every platform and opportunity to exalt Christ so that all may be drawn to Him. A husband and father of five, he carries a heart for integrity, compassion, and excellence in both family and public ministry—a posture that aligns closely with the African Christian Fellowship vision of a thriving Christian community that models integrity, excellence, and compassion while mobilizing and empowering Africans worldwide to impact their generation and Africa. 

At the Operation: Revive & Restore Conference, Ezekiel’s conversation‑driven ministry will help awaken hearts to the urgency of revival alongside his guest and dear friend, Khallil Lambin.

With a heart for service, discipleship, and spiritual growth, he calls believers into deeper encounters with God and into boldness in their divine assignment. Adeniyi is deeply aligned with the vision of the African Christian Fellowship of building thriving Christians who model the integrity and excellence needed to transform the world around them.

Khallil Lambin, born in 1992 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, carries a prophetic story marked by loss, divine disruption, and kingdom transformation. Orphaned at the age of 12, he left home at 13 to pursue a football career, and in that journey God sovereignly began to dismantle one destiny in order to implant a greater one—a life shaped not by culture or circumstance, but by divine encounter.

Raised as a Muslim, Khallil’s heart was stirred by a hunger for truth that religion could not satisfy. As he read the Quran, the Spirit of God used certain passages to awaken questions, stir reflection, and ultimately draw him into a revelation of Jesus Christ in a way he had never seen before. In 2016, during his football career in Geneva, he encountered Jesus in a life‑changing moment that shattered his old identity and birthed a new calling. From that day, his life became a living testimony of God’s power to raise up a voice from the most unlikeliest places.

Since then, Khallil has traveled across continents—Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa—preaching the Gospel in boldness and truth. He ministers not only to the football community but also to the wider Church, releasing Christ’s message of faith, hope, and radical revival. His life and ministry resonate deeply with the African Christian Fellowship’s vision: Khallil is a living expression of a thriving Christian modeling integrity, excellence, and compassion who God has called and empowered to impact his generation and the world, Africa inclusive.

Today, at 33, Khallil serves as an evangelist and a Technical and Sporting Director of a top European‑level football club in Finland, where he recently relocated with his wife Roosa and their three children. Even in the midst of high‑pressure environments, he walks in humility and dependence on the Holy Spirit, allowing God to continually reshape his narrative into never-ending testimony. Appointed by divine timing, Khallil Lambin stands as the vessel God has chosen to facilitate a conversation on revival with Ezekiel Azonwu, host of the “We Need to Talk” Podcast, at the Operation: Revive & Restore Conference.
