*** BI-MONTHLY  SCHOOL OF MINISTRY FOR LEADERS

 Spectacular Events: 1. Brother Michael Austin and Sister Eileen who have been married for eight years without a child were blessed with a baby boy and dedicated to the lord.

2. Sister Chika who has been suffering from asthma for twenty-five years and was living on inhalers has been healed to the glory of God.

3. Asthma for twenty years also received her healing at the Christmas convention and this led to the conversion of one hundred and fifty souls and opening of an assembly in the area. The authorities in the area gave the church a free hall for her activities.

Prayer Request: : That the Lord will grant us members who will take up leadership positions in the church. That the wave of immorality, homicides and drunkenness will be curbed in the nation
