Bishop Emmanuel Edu, in his address, disclosed that the construction of the Worship Centre is solely to sprang up the ministry which came on board after the crossover night on 31st December, 2020 as a result of some unusual miracle and God’s divine presence occurred during the programme.
“when our first Sunday service started, the members didn’t mind worshipping God joyfully in an opened space and I keep preaching under hot atmosphere for two Sunday service before the members came up with the idea of erecting a temporary structure”
“Brethren, the church is now calling you all to support the construction of this Ultramodern temple for worship centre as king Hiram supported King David and King Solomon to build for God, the temporary structure is not even accommodating the present population as many new souls are weekly added to the church. I know together we can build our dream worship centre”
He said that the cost of the ecumenical centre is higher, and called on corporate organisations, non-governmental organisations, philanthropists and political appointees at federal and state levels
” I join my faith with my the men of the God as we do this the Bible says the Lord shall give us the hidden treasures of darkness and riches in secret places so that Akwa Ibom might experience prosperity, wealth, it might be well with our children, create jobs for our people and better living irrespective of the world’s economy”
