Faith Celebrates Men’s Day with Patriarch as Keynote Preacher

Admin — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 18:05:11 +0000

Some weeks ago during morning worship service, an announcement of Faith’s Men’s Day keynote preacher was met with roaring applause. That roaring applause was matched with high praise and attentive ears weeks later on August 28, 2011, as Dr. Ndugu T’Ofori-Atta mounted the pulpit on Men’s Day to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. It seemed everyone was sitting on the edge of their pews to hear what God had implanted in Dr. T to share with those gathered that morning. It is no secret that Dr. T is a miracle among us. Through God’s abounding grace and mercy, He has allowed Dr. T to overcome great illness and to remain with us a little while longer to fulfill his purpose. Praise the Lord!

The Women’s Chorus provided powerful music on Men’s Day, including special music requested by Dr. T. Songs uplifted by the choir were ”Order My Steps”, “Take Me Back”, and “Ride on King Jesus”. A member of Faith offered a special selection during service as well, “Kumbaya, My Lord”. Service concluded with Pastor Love announcing the creation of the Dr. T’Ofori-Atta Lectures: Africa Calling. Pastor Love announced that Dr. T will be instrumental in the teaching, as well as instrumental in the planning of guest presenters and panelists. More information on dates and guests coming soon. Stay tuned!
