He encouraged members to make the church a place of prayer, commitment and spiritual growth, and to seek God’s kingdom in their daily lives.
Highlighting the journey of the church, Veswuh noted that the building stands as a fulfilment of God’s promises, made possible through the sacrifices and contributions of its members. He urged the congregation to remain grateful and continue investing in God’s kingdom.
Pastor Sapi Puro, president of the Pastors and Deacons Association, CCRC, extended greetings and acknowledged the support of well-wishers and contributors towards the construction of the church.
