Pastor (Dr) Sampson Igwe, President, The Apostolic Church Nigeria, says the raging global pandemic, COVID-19 is not a threat to the Church’s forthcoming quadrennial convention.

Igwe said at a press briefing ahead of the convention on Tuesday in Lagos that the church had put in place plans for delegates to observe all the COVID-19.

According to him, the global pandemic is no threat to us; the Church has put plans in place for delegates to observe all the COVID-19 protocols.

Igwe, however, said that due to the pandemic situation, 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.

“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.

Igwe said that the theme, taken from II Chronicles 7 vs 14, “is an indication that God is set to put an end to the scourge in the land”.

He said: “This great promise of God could not have come at any better time than now that our nation and other nations of the world are suffering untold hardships.

“Apart from failing economies orchestrated by the global lockdown of economic activities, there are also cases of attacks, kidnappings, banditry, and rape.”

The convention, according to him, will provide a rare opportunity for the Church to cry to God to heal the country.
