During the fundraising session, the Commissioner encouraged members to demonstrate genuine faith through practical acts of giving.
He stressed that faith should be accompanied by good works and tangible support for the ministry. According to him, members should contribute meaningfully to the growth and well-being of the church.

Speaking during the celebration, the Lead Pastor’s elder brother described Christian service and pastoral ministry as a legacy inherited from their father.

The celebration provided an opportunity for the House of Kings Assembly to appreciate its 20-year journey, honour the sacrifices of its leadership and reaffirm its commitment to spiritual growth, service and community support.
