She called on members of Empowerment Nation to stand with the church in prayer during the transition period, expressing faith that they will soon move into what she described as a “God-ordained space”.
“Please stand with us in prayer as we transition toward our own God-ordained space. Let’s stay connected,” she said.
Hopeful tone
Despite the setback, the preacher struck a hopeful and reassuring tone, declaring blessings over the congregation and encouraging members to remain steadfast as services move online.
