The ceremony which was celebrated under the theme ;‘love that unites’ saw many people from across the world turn up to join the bishop celebrate and thank God for whatever he has been able to achieve in this one year he has been in service.

He assured the congregation that with love and unity alongside team work, even those not yet achieved must be with time.
