The Methodist Bishop of Diocese of Owerri Rt. Rev. Dennis Okechukwu Mark has concluded his first official Episcopal Tour in the diocese with the induction of Orji Circuit Presbyter, Very Rev. E. O. Chukwu.
The tour which commenced Friday April 17, 2015 with visits to other local churches in Orji Circuit, was concluded with the induction of the Circuits Presbyter Very Rev. Chukwu on Sunday April 19, 2015 at St. Silas Methodist Church, Orji Uratta, Owerri North LGA, Imo State.
In his speech, the diocesan bishop described Chukwu who was transferred to Orji Circuit in 2014, as a good man who works only for the upliftment of the church and has never been involved in any act that will stain his name.
Bishop Mark hailed him for his achievements in the ministry adding that it is always difficult for anyone to fill in the big shoes he leaves behind.
He then called on members of the circuit to support the newly inducted minster so as to enhance the work of God in the circuit.
Speaking during his induction sermon, Very Rev. Chukwu said that no matter how vibrant a minister is, he will never achieve anything without the support of the church members. He called on members to always pray for him and other ministers working under him in the circuit because it is the only way they can achieve the goals God has set for them.
Very Rev. Chukwu who is the pioneer Archdiocesan Synod Secretary of the Aba Archdiocese of Methodist Church Nigeria, thanked everyone who made it to the event praying that God will see them through their life endeavours.
