Archbishop of the Methodist Church Nigeria (Lagos Diocese), Rev. Isaac Olawuyi has said the church is set to plant 60 churches and win 60,000 souls in the next 10 years.
Olawuyi spoke yesterday at Wesley Chapel, Lekki, during a news conference which formed part of activities to celebrate the Diocese’s 60th anniversary.
Themed: ‘Preparing for the Second coming of the Lord’, taken from Rev. 12:22.
The anniversary celebration will feature a book launch, choral festival, youth funfair, award for foundational church members, and dinner for distinguished members.
Olawuyi said: “Through aggressive and effective evangelism, we are reaching out to fertile areas to preach the gospel and plant churches.
We have done some mapping whereby we will go from location to location to establish churches. Through the grace and cooperation of all our minsters, we have a lay president who believes in soul winning and is mobilising everything within his power toward this task.”
Olawuyi also noted that spiritual life is our right relationship with God that will affect our lives and pattern of living.
He challenged Christians to rise to the contest for all elective positions in the country’s political system.
