The Prelate, Methodist Church Nigeria, Dr Oliver Ali Aba, has urged the graduating students of the Methodist Theological Institute (MTI), Sagamu, Ogun State, to be agents of change to the society that is in a very critical state.
Addressing the graduating students, the prelate said the graduands have received the needed training that would make them good ambassadors of the institute in the outside world.
Aba added that the church institutions are doing their best to train and equip student ministers with necessary tools to win souls into God’s kingdom.
Aba commended the rector and management for their creative way of meeting the needs of the institute and prayed God to be with them in building the church’s theological learning in the western region.
In his convocation lecture, titled: ‘Step into the ministry, ready for kingdom business,’ the guest speaker, Sunday Onuoha, urged the graduands to focus on God alone, giving all for the growth and development of the ministry.
He also urged them to be ready to serve the the church, and grow spiritually.
The Rector, Dr Raphael Idialu, commended the prelate for his support towards the institute and words of encouragement to the students timely throughout the period of their training.
The programme also provided an opportunity to inaugurate the rector’s lodge, three blocks of classrooms, and a solar light/inverter for the administrative block.
