Taraba
State Governor, Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku has challenged christians to
donate generously to help build a befitting place of worship where
people can make genuine supplications to God Almighty.
Governor
Ishaku said this yesterday during the Launching of 120 million Naira for
the building of a Proposed Church Auditorium in Mararaba Baisa, Donga
Local Government Area.
The
Governor who was the Chairman of the occasion told the congregation to
give priority to gathering that is Godly and to also avail themselves of
his divine blessings and providence.
To the
building committee, the Governor advised them to construct a road that
will give clear view so that the great edifice that would be built
should be seen clearly from the road.
He
commended Senator Emmanuel Bwacha for replicating what he did in Abuja,
saying that, it is a thing of joy that he has come to do same in his
village.
He beckoned on the gathering to donated generously for the project so that it will be completed speedily.
The
Governor maintained that Senator Bwacha is a special gift to the CRC-N
and prayed for God’s spirit to guide him rightly at all times and
charged him not to relent in contributing to the growth of evangelism in
Southern Taraba.
He praised
the people of Mararaba on the level of their commitment by completing
the foundation that is now ready for further elevation.
In his
speech, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha stated that he was touched that the old
building can no longer accommodate the numbers of worshippers that
worship in the church.
He revealed
that with the cooperation of his people and support from his
colleagues, associates and partners, his village will soon have a
befitting place of worship and gave God the glory for his divine
Providence.
Speaking
during the launching, the Host pastor, Rev Emmanuel Sam said building a
church of this magnitude at this time of recession is amazing and also
aimed at appreciating and uplifting God’s glorious name.
Rev.
Emmanuel Sam further explained that the present worship center has
become too small that during Sunday worships it hardly contains up to 30
percent of those that have come to worship, forcing some to returned
home without attending the service.
He said
from time to time God calls his people to build a worship and prayer
house for him to his glory and quoted from the book Haggai 2:1-8 during
the time of prophet Haggai, the reign of King Darius and Zerubbabel of
Judah, similar building was raised to reverence God.
The cleric
urged all to give generously onto God and disclosed that the project has
gulped about 17 million Naira and stressed that God still wants his
children to come together and give for the completion of the project.
The highest donation of 34 million Naira came from Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, his friends, colleagues and associates.
The Church Auditorium when completed has about 1200 seating Capacity.
