prayer meetings, personal witnessing, seminars, strong pulpit ministry and elaborate Bible
studies.

2. INITIATIVES AND ACTIVITIES
SOGOC’s initiative is prioritised within her family in the church set-up annually as she intends to
spread out to the communities within its targeted area.
SOGOC currently operates the following departments minimally:-
1. Evangelism and discipleship.
2. Leadership and Economic empowerment.
3. Social programmes.
4. Infrastructure development.
As SOGOC aims to fulfil its mission, the challenges are great and are a healthy pointer at such a
time as this. Holistic approach to the preaching of the gospel is quite appropriate and effective if the
Sondu community has to be transformed to inhibit and to manifest God’s glory. The people have to
participate financially through hard work and uprightness.
To be enhanced are time management, networking, children ministry and development, discipleship
programme, micro- enterprise development, leadership development, support for orphans, widows,
single parents and the aged, effective education for the poor above primary level, HIV prevention
and control, family management, food and nutrition, safe water, primary health information and
adult literacy programme.
The pastor need better upkeep to be effective in the ministry.

ministry, daily prayers at dawn and evenings, youth meetings, men’s fellowship, strong Sunday
services and intermittent visitation on Saturdays/Sundays. Church keshas, family, men’s and
