The President of Christ Apostolic Church Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele has urged participants at the ongoing Pastors' Leadership Retreat-Akinyele Region to make use of the experience gained at the training to impact CAC positively.
Pastor Oladele who was represented by his Special Assistant, Pastor T.D. Asokeji stated this on Monday February 7, 2022 at the ongoing CAC Pastors' Leadership Retreat (Batch four), Akinyele Region. A total number of 49 DCC and Zonal Superintendents gathered at a programme holding at the College of Post Graduate Studies, Joseph Ayo Babalola University (JABU), Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State with the theme "Capacity Building for Effective Ministry."
The training, organised by Authority of CAC Nigeria and Overseas is part of the three-point agenda of the present administration.The 3-point agenda of this administration includes Training & Development of the vast Human Capital of the Church, Reconcilation and Unity of the Church and Evangelism/Church Growth.
Pastor Oladele noted that "it is our firm belief that the experience gained in this training will help us to further impact positively on Christ Apostolic Church and bring about the revival that we all hope and pray for."
He noted that God's work is real business, quoting the book of Luke chapter 2 verse 49 which reads: 'Jesus said, I must be about my Father's business.'
He added: "hence, we are expected to conduct God's business as BUSINESS indeed. One of the tools of organisational growth is TRAINING. Jesus called to Himself those who He wanted to be with Him and taught them. The disciples were teachable men. Without prejudice to our rich and enviable pedigrees individually and as a Church, there is need for us to gather new skills and competencies that will enable us do God's business profitably and creditably too. Matthew 25:20-23.
The Cleric therefore added that the training programme was approved by the Authority to effect the training aspect which is pivotal to realising the other two points.
The first lecture was delivered by the Registrar of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Elder Femi Ogunwomoju on the topic "Organizational Behavior", second lecture by the General Secretary of the Church, Pastor Emmanuel E. Mapur on the topic "CAC Organogram & Administrative Structure" and the last lecture by Pastor T.D. Asokeji on Leadership and Teamwork.
