The researcher was confronted with the question of the development of Victory Bible Church International. It became necessary therefore to find out how the church began and developed and its contributions to Pentecostal-Charismatic Ministry in Ghana. The history of Victory Bible Church International is crucial because it was among the first few charismatic churches that started the Neo-Pentecostal Movement in Ghana and introduced certain activities into the fraternity. Documents and books were consulted with regard to the development of Victory Bible Church International. Various schools of thought were presented by people. Since the founder and a good number of the founding members are available, they were interviewed to present the authentic story of the origin of the church. This studied ironed out all misconception that Victory Bible Church International broke away not on amicable terms. Victory Bible Church International started after the founder of the church left Christian Evangelical Ministry after he was willfully released by leadership. It is recommended that history is a crucial area of study and that the Ministry of Education must motivate students who have the interest to read history through advertisements and seminars and provide well-stocked history sections in libraries and in tertiary institutions and sponsor their members interested in reading historical studies. The history of the development of Charismatic Churches could be made known to the public within Ghana and beyond.
