Godly character will help Christian ministers to exhibit fruit of Holy Spirit which accounts for success in life and ministry because God is more interested in the fruit more than the gifts”.

I therefore implore every Christian, drama minister in particular, to cultivate godly character and never allow wealth, fame, gift or talent to becloud them.

These trainings assist RCCG ministers significantly across all facets of their lives”.
