The new Youth Officer of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide, Pastor Sam Gbuyiro has said that his administration will be giving CAC campus fellowships the required attention.
Pastor Gbuyiro said this recently in an exclusive interview with CAC NEWS.
He disclosed that ‘Academic Summit’ which did not hold this year, will hold next year, adding that they are believing God for other national programmes so that the campus fellowship will really feel the touch of the youth fellowship and the support of the leadership of the church.
He commended the effort of CAC members who attends CACYOF on campus; they have indeed make the authority of the church proud.
“I commend the unwavering loyalty of the youth of Christ Apostolic Church, especially those one on campus. This is because of their commitment to the church. They have options of going to other denomination. But because they are so proud of CAC, regardless of what is happening in the church, they are still very comfortable and proud to be members of Christ Apostolic Church. I really commend their effort, commitment and loyalty. Base on that, the only option we have is to give the campus fellowship the required attention in all ramifications,” Pastor Gbuyiro said.
According to him, the leadership of the church is aware of the need to bring the youth of the church together and create conducive atmosphere for them that will enable them to function for God and also still remain in the church.
Similarly, not too long ago, some youths of the church advised the new youth officer on how to handle, coordinate or administrate the campus fellowships. They gave their opinions through the WhatsApp group of CAC NEWS.
Mr. Tolu-tope Dada of CAC New Covenant Assembly, Lagos started by congratulating him and pray for him that God grant him wisdom and divine directions for him.
He suggested that there should be more integration and participation among the campus fellowships, emphasising that leaders should be breed from there.
Dada said that campus fellowship coordinators should be mentored and some of them can actually pastor and plant churches directed towards the young folks.
Mr. Oniwinde Ayodeji of CACYOF Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) chapter advised Pastor Gbuyiro to see to the matters affecting Campus Fellowship in various institutions.
He noted that most of these fellowships need urgent advices, attentions and need.
He said the Church authority through the Youth Office, in the past has made promises to some of these campus fellowships but some of these promises have not been fulfilled as at now.
"We pray that God will use him tremendously in his new office for the expansion of the Kingdom project and the Growth of CACYOF Worldwide," he concluded.
Evangelist Omotosho of CAC Oke Ife, Isolo District Headquarters advised the new Youth Officer to work on the church's corpers' fellowship.
