We gladly welcome you on board as Joshua of our time, the Lord who has chosen you will work will you in Jesus’ name.
Sir, ministers’ welfare is important because ministers & their family are suffering because their care that is left in the hand of the assembly to do is impossible for the assembly because of levies upon levies from different angles & without their well being no matter how your visions is rich it will end up in poor implementation.
Also let there be due approver of promotions of ministers recommended by areas be done without favouritism, tribalism has it is seen in time past because those who have labor & due for lifting are left while lifting those with god father’s who are not even qualify, lack the capacity both spiritual & physical to function in the position giving to them & this is killing the church.
Further more, issue of levies should be reduce to bearest minimum in the church because people are no more in church, day by day people are living because of this matter.
Thanks you sir.
