Women both from within Nigeria and from the diaspora as well as their husbands are currently gathering at the Faithful Women Intercessory and Interdenominational Ministry (FWIIM) auditorium Lagos for the annual Thanksgiving and Love feast.

The one week event started Monday 19 with a befitting climax set for Saturday 24 November, 2018.

The annual thanksgiving coincides with the 19th year anniversary of the founding of the celebrated women interdenominational Christian Evangelical group with focus on the well being of families in the general sense.

The full week of activities according to the General Overseer of the Ministry Pastor Comfort Luwei is “for our various families to thank God for all His riches in glory both physically and spiritually all through the year.  I do not need to be reminded to count God’s blessings one by one because that is what we are doing.

Continuing, Luwei explained that “as you and I know, the Lord can’t provide for us and still thank himself for all his goodness to us. It is our duty to return to Him in thanksgiving, praise and worship.  Thanks-giving Is not a new thing to the world as the world sets out a day to thank God before the end of the year. You can imagine how the children feel about us when we return home to them with gifts. It is the same way God feels when we shower Him gifts and thanks. The  guest speaker on the grand finale is Bishop Richard Osuagwu who has prepared a lovely thought provoking message on the importance of giving thanks to God by humanity.

She also said Faithful Women 2019 calendar will be unveiled at the occasion adding that guests to the event are expected from as far as Benin, Togo, Ghana as well as other West African countries.

In the words of the Chairperson organizing committee of the event Mrs. Eucharia Ekweanua, “Faithful Women members as well as our guests are promised the best in spiritual entertainment in terms of drama, dances, praise and worship combined with ministration to the glory of God for a full week. The weekdays are dedicated to the five women groups in the Ministry including Deborah, Dorcas, Esther, Abigail and Jacobed.

Also speaking, visibly excited Senior Pastor of Hephsibah Amazing Grace Warri, Pastor Uche Oluleye Jonah who stormed Lagos with her crew said “ it is a good thing to thank the Lord and show appreciation to God for all the goodies He showers on humanity all the time. Can humanity ever thank God enough? Thanksgiving is the right of God”
