I am glad to see this ministry growing. I used to attend this church way back in 1980-82, and 86-91 when I attended the Pan Africa Christian College, now Pan Africa Christian University. I was nurtured and discipled well. I have taken strides in the faith and am still a God chaser. Blessings. Edward
