Summation: On the final records, at the end of the three days, 104 (one hundred and four) people, cutting across ages, religions, class and gender, were attended to with every beneficiary given one level of medication or the other, depending on the test result.
Activities Report 2 – Conference Proceedings:
Day One: On the first day of the conference, 63 (sixty-three) participants attended the conference in the evening, though many others, including children, did not fill the attendance register.
Day Two: On the second day, 54 (fifty-four) people attended the evening meeting, though, as usual, many did not get to sign the attendance register.
Day Three: The situation was virtually the same on the third day.
Observation: There was a little decline on the second and third days because the Anglican Church hosting the conference and CAN Secretariat, declared a youth camp that attracted many of the people that attended the first day of the conference.
REDEEMING THE YOUTH
The youth gathering, REDY 2025, was held on Saturday, November 8. It was attended by about 60 participants, according to the register – barring those that didn’t sign the register. There were two teaching sessions and one fervent prayer session.
The teaching sessions were led by Pastor Dr. Mrs. Deborah Ben-Seth and Pastor Jeremiah Anipupo, while the prayer session was led by Pastor Daniel Anipupo. A health talk was also given by Pastor Mrs. Esther Adediwura.
There was also a Bible quiz session which was coordinated by Apostle Isaac Ben-Seth. Thirteen youths participated in the quiz. The three that came tops were given prize awards as previously announced – #20,000 (twenty thousand Naira) to the first position holder; #15,000 (fifteen thousand Naira) to the second and #10,000 (ten thousand Naira) to the third. A consolation prize of #5,000 (five thousand Naira) was awarded to the fourth position youth.
