Some members of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide have advised the newly appointed Regional Superintendents to organize regional crusades, plant more churches and focus on the development of grassroot assemblies.
They made this known through the Facebook page and WhatsApp group of CAC NEWS.

The District Youth Secretary, CAC Oke Ayo, Kosofe-Ajegunle District, Mr. Joseph Ayodele Ojo said "my advice for the newly appointed regional superintendent is that they should know that they are chosen for purpose not for post sake. They should do away with selfish interest by putting God first [Matt 6:33]. They should try and organize regional revival and open crusade so as to win a lot of soul for Christ by this more churches will be established. The welfare of members should be their first priority. They should try and be like the first church in Antioch."
He stated further that they should try and preach undiluted Gospel of Christ, adding that they should make sure they are approachable and correctable.
Pastor Gbenga Afolabi of CAC Strong Tower Assembly, Abule-Egba DCC Lagos advised the new Regional Superintendents to create more churchs as the forefathers of the church did in the past, adding that they should know that they were appointed to work because they represent God, the Authority of the Church, and the members.
Pastor Afolabi said that they must be diligent and faithful to the church Authority and God, praying that God of our fathers will make them to be Successful in Jesus' name.
Ojo Ezekiel , Press member , Mount Zion, Ota Ogun state stated that; "they should please prepare we upcoming youths ahead of marriage. They should try with the help of Holy Spirit to bring youths back to be Christlike."
Evangelist Olutayo Oketoki of CAC Eleta DCC Headquarters, Eleta, Ibadan advised the Regional Superintendents to encourage church planting so as to place the floating pastors.
He said that they should regularize the placement of churches into the appropriate and convenient zones or locations.
Evangelist Oketoki further stated that periodical and occasionally support for rural evangelism in all our churches or assemblies should be taken with all sense of seriousness.
"The Regional Superintendents should bring down the various offering collections to a reasonable position in our churches. Sound orientation, support and encouraging programmes should be rooted out for our talented youths. Empowering the evangelists, prophets / prophetesses and the church planters to be more relevant to the church administration. Periodical training / orientation to the church elders to curb their excesses in the church administration," he concluded.
Mr. Kehinde Olayinka Omoniyi of CAC Revival Centre, Akure, Ondo State said they should listen and be directed by the Holyspirit.
