EVENTS
Pastor Appreciation Day 2019
On Sunday, October 20, 2019, *Candle Light Support Ministries International* put out a *come-one-come-all* invitation to the community, inviting them to a non denominational church service and reception *to honor men and women of God* in the African community. These are men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving God and humanity. The chief hosts of the event were *Chief Morgan Wachukwu* and his wife, *Evangelist Blessing Wachukwu.* They invited every religious humanitarian they could reach - Reverend Fathers, Pastors, Nuns, Evangelists…
A good number honored the invitation, but as usual with events in our African community, many also elected to sit it out. Yet, not only did the show go on, for those in attendance, *Candle Light Support Ministries* delivered a worthwhile evening of worship, testimonials by highly acclaimed clergy and songs of praise meticulously chosen to soothe the soul.
For an arch Catholic like me who is used to mellow Church services, I must say that “I was fully taken,” and by the end of the service, I was filled with the Holy Spirit. Every word spoken was delivered to soothe the audience.
I will be remiss if I fail to mention that the preaching of the last speaker, Apostle (Dr.) *KK Odeluga* was so powerful that it literally *“brought down the roof!”*
To crown the evening, a lavish reception was held following the church service and the hosts left no stone unturned as they treated the guests to an evening of great food, gifts bags for all, with soothing music provided by DJ Obinna Nwalozie.
In a community where humanitarian endeavor seems overlooked many times, Chief Morgan and Evangelist Wachukwu should be very proud of what they have started. In a very classy way, *they brought honor back to where the real honor should lie.* They brought honor to our community’s men and women of God.
On behalf of our entire staff at *_African LifeStyles Magazine_,* I salute Candle Light Support Ministries International and the planning committee for honoring our community’s silent givers. May your message grow bigger and may God grant you the wherewithal to continue the good work.
