Preparation for the first ever Virtual National Congress of All Nigeria Conference of Evangelical Drama Ministries, ANCEDRAM is reportedly on a top gear.
The Congress will hold between 28th and 29th August 2020 on Zoom, Facebook and other media platforms.
In a release issued by ANCEDRAM National President, Barr. Kayode Ojinnaka on Monday some burning issues as they concern the association and Drama Ministers at large were addressed, Gospel Film News gathered.
Ojinnaka noted that It’s with great nostalgic joy that he look forward to seeing people’s annointed faces via Zoom and other social media links under the auspices of the first ever virtual ANCEDRAM national Congress.
According to him, preparations had reached advanced stages in respect to earlier scheduled physical National Congress tagged “Rivers 2020” before the covid-19 pandemic forced the Lock down on not just Nigeria but the whole world and scuttled the program. With the nod of the Board of Trustees, BOT the programme was rescheduled to the instant week end being 27th to 30th August, 2020.
However, wisdom was in favour of a complete postponement to next year, the National Executive quickly set up a broad based committee to consider the possibility, modalities and technological demands of a virtual national Congress.
“I must thank that committee who within just a week came out with a well considered report. It’s that report with some tinkering by BONE that has blossomed into the first ever virtual national Congress coming up this weekend Friday, 28th & Saturday 29th August, 2020. Though we had very little time to publicize this program, the response we have had from drama ministers all over the world is over whelming. From Canada, UK, USA, Spain, Australia e.t.c people have indicated their interest to join in this epoch making event,” he said.
Evang. Mike Bamiloye will be present at the congress to give an annointed conference lecture, while Evang. Shola Mike Agboola will be used of God to dissect and x-ray the theme: ” PRESSING ON TOWARDS THE MARK” drawn from Phil. 3:14. There will also be seminars on finance and entrepreneurship handled by elders in Board Of Trustess & Ancedram Council of Elders.
He added: “We’re looking forward to hearing brethren ask & receive answers to nagging issues during the business meeting while the roundtable discussions will position us to press on towards the mark irrespective of distractions. Don’t dare miss the closing charge when our father in the Ministry, Evang. Mike Bamiloye will make prophetic declarations over our lives & ministry. I assure you that after this well packaged program you will never remain the same. “The mark” will be clearer to you while your focus will be realigned as the sons of Issachar who understood the times & for that ruled over their brethren. See you then on 28th & 29th August, 2020.”
