Members of Christian Men Fellowship, CMF Bakossi North Presbytery, Kupe Muanenguba Division, South West Region, have ended a ground breaking rally, strategizing on evangelism to fish men for the kingdom of God.
This was the outcome of the 68th annual CMF rally that took place at Presbyterian Church Enyandong Congregation, December 8, 2024 under the theme, “Be on the Alert and Pray Always”, bringing together CMF groups from ten congregations within the Presbytery.
In his sermon at the rally, the Presbyterial Secretary for Bakossi North Presbytery, Rev. Dr. Elangwe Namaya who doubles as Parish Pastor of PC Bangem Congregation, preached on the theme, “Pray Always and Stand Firm” with reference to Luke 21:36 from the Holy Bible.
He enjoined worshippers to pray always rather than allowing addictions to dominate their consciousness.
According to Rev. Dr. Namaya, the weapon Jesus used to overcome the world was prayer and God’s words. He said Christians must use this to be on alert and overcome all lurking temptations which can bring them calamity.
He was excited to preach and fellowship at the Enyandong congregation again where thirty years ago, he served as parish pastor.
The ten CMF groups participated in a quiz and singing competition with the key message for Christians to always pray, be on the alert and watchful.
