Ps. Tumsia stated that the church can do a lot more to help society besides ministering the gospel.
He said that the weekly celebration also raises funds that will support the activities of the church and also in performing some social duties.
He therefore, called on members and the public to support the fundraising, since this will facilitate their work as a council and aid them to give back to society.
“…we are doing all these things to see how we can also contribute our quota to help the government, society, individuals, and the church” He said
He reiterated that all members of the Christian community should contribute their quota in building a strong economy for the country and also join in the combat against crime in societies through their funds.
“…we want you to help us build the Christian community in the country and make society better to fight crime, sin, evil, and all the things that are fighting against our society…” He emphasized.
