The Easter retreat saw a different atmosphere this year. On Holy Thursday, the venue was cleaned by Pastor Miriam and volunteers. On Good Friday morning, participants gathered at 6:30am, with the first bus carrying older women led by Mama Akos. The second bus left at 8:00am with other groups. Though the driver tried to arrive before the Bishop, the Bishop came two minutes after them at 11:00am. Participants found the older women singing and led by Hagar and Mama Akos. The retreat was a blessing, with meaningful messages and insights into scripture presented each day. Participants felt the strong presence of God and left feeling educated by the Holy Spirit.

2. his year’s Easter retreat saw a
different phase.
Cleaning of the venue was done as
usual on Holy Thursday by Pastor
Miriam and her abled members
Delphina and Isaac.
On Good Friday morning all those
who have registered to be part of the
retreat gathered at the church
premise at 6:30am. The first bus was
filled with all the big mamas’ headed
by Mama Akos a.k.a “me da na ma
da.” In fact I had to spiritually
anagkazo pastor elect Rexford to join
the big mamas’. This was to
disintegrate his fictitious plans of being
part of the slim bodies and pastor
elect Adepa a.k.a “wenim eguase” to
make noise.
The second bus took off around
8:00am with all the chumlangahs and
the ichangas. The driver was
determined to get to Ada before our
Bishop but he could not with all his
skills. Bishop arrived at the venue a
quarter to 11:00am, two minutes after
we also arrived. We met the big
mamas’ full of the Holy Spirit and
singing and were led by two of our
notable big buddies Hagar and
Mama Akos

7. LETS GET TALKING….
Right from the beginning something that really blessed me was the quality of information that
was presented. My brother Adepa presented on salvation, Reuben- the crown of thorns, Sister
Cynthia talked about communion and the messages kept flowing. I think that everyone that
came presented something that was meaningful to me. They presented something I never
knew about. For my message some of the things I did not know. As I was preparing the note I
did not include. I felt it was the Holy Spirit who was educating us. The Holy Spirit was giving
us dine information from above.
I was blessed, full of knowledge of the word. I say thank you to Bishop.

Reuben : The program
was power packed with
specific
people.
It was an
opener into
the word
of God.
Bishop us
an insight
on John 3:16
and verse 5
“unless a
man be
born of water and the
spirit”, most of us were
thinking the water was
water baptism but we
had an insight that the
water is the word of
God. Lastly, when
bishop compared the
pole with the cross, It
really baffled me how
did Bishop get all this
revelation.
Blessing : Ok! Mine was
during the all-
night.
Whenever we
come for all-
night Bishop will
say things
people and
they will come
out. Most of
the time bishop
will say
anything about
me and I will say
how come bishop isn’t
saying anything about me.
So at the retreat when
bishop was prophesying and
saying things about people I
said God Blessing is here.
Then bishop said, there is
someone here who looked
into the mirror and was
crying and I said yes, this is
me so I came out to stand
there and I was the only one
standing. I was happy that
Bishop said something about
me.
Rev. Frank : I saw the
retreat was marathon
training because you could
see that Bishop really
trained us in the spirit to
grow spiritually. I realized
the whole program there
has been an additional
empowerment in my life.it
was a wonderful training.
Mama J : I want to thank
God for our bishop for
being obedient to God and
organizing this retreat for us.
I have been spending
Easter over the years but for
the first time Easter really
came alive to me. You can
celebrate Easter but I got a
deeper revelation of the
Easter story; Jesus coming
down to die to save you
and applying the blood the
power of the resurrection to
do miracle as well as do
things in your life. I felt the
power of God delivering me
from so many years of
bondage. I thank God so
much.
Elder Isaac: Surprisingly if
we did not have a theme
for this convention I would
have borrowed the theme
for the revival “Best In You
Convention”. I was so much
overwhelmed. When I got
there everybody was
charged. In fact I just
tapped into the anointing
and started flowing
