President, The Apostolic Church Nigeria Pastor Sampson Igwe says the raging global pandemic COVID-19 is not a threat to the church’s forthcoming quadrennial convention.
Igwe said at a press briefing on Tuesday in Lagos that the church had put in place plans for delegates to observe all COVID-19 protocols.
He said that the once-in-four-year convention would hold from Friday, February 12 to 14 at the National Headquarters International Convention Grounds, Olorunda in Ketu, Lagos.
Igwe, however, said that due to the pandemic, members across the country had been encouraged to join the convention online, while only delegates would be present at the church’s ground in Lagos.
“Beyond that, the event will be aired live through the church’s cable television, while only delegates from across the country will be at the expansive venue.
“But the beauty of the 2021 convention is the theme, which is ‘I Will Heal Your Land’.
“This is not only divine, but speaks to the present situation across the globe.
“The cry on the lip of every individual is for God to help put an end to the scourge called COVID-19, which has claimed many lives across the globe. It is really distressing,” he said.
Igwe said that the theme, taken from 2 Chronicles 7:14, “is an indication that God is set to put an end to the scourge in the land”.
