The Authorities of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, have inducted Pastor Dr. A. A. Balogun as the District Superintendent (D.S) of Ring Road District.
Along with the induction was the appointment of Elders and Deaconesses by the Church Authority represented by the Orekoya Region and Jos DCC Superintendent Pastor C.S.A. Balogun, at the service held on the 20th of October 2022, at Ring Road District Headquarters.
During his sermon, the Orekoya Regional Superintendent strongly admonished the newly inducted D.S. and appointed Elders and Deaconesses to be transparent in their duties.
He urged them to love and fear God, for that will aid them to shun evil and do the will of God and depend on Him solely.
He went further to encourage the newly appointed Elders and Deaconesses to see to the growth of the church numerically.
According to him, it is our responsibility as members of the body of Christ to minister to lost souls about Christ, but it is the duty of God to change the heart of men, for no man can change the heart of a fellow man, except God intervenes and touches the heart of the fellow.
He concluded by challenging the members of the church to make their work easy by giving them the necessary cooperation needed to move the church forward.
District Superintendents under Jos DCC and other dignitaries were present to witness the induction and also to congratulate the newly inducted DS.
