He prayed for God’s Grace on Christians to finish their race with the crown of heavenly eternal glory.
In his message to the Synod, the Priest in charge of St. Paul’s Anglican Chapel, Federal Government College, Nise, Rev. Canon Basil Orji, enjoined Christians to persevere in their determination to serve God to win the heavenly race.
To survive in the perilous times, Rev. Orji suggested that Christians should explore other alternative means of livelihood.
