Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has urged Christians to win soul for Christ through their actions.

He made the call on Sunday, August 11, 2019 while speaking at the second Mega Convention cum Dedication of a 7 Floor Prayer Tower at Balm of Gilead, Church of God Mission International, Benin City, Edo.

“It is my prayer that God will renew your strength as Christians; just imagine a Nigeria without people to serve God; God has a purpose for this country and we pray that our nation will be great for the Lord.

“It is important that we preach about salvation, about the kingdom of God, rather than things of the world; it is not fair when we do not preach about salvation; salvation first and any other thing comes after.

“As a Christian, you should work hard so that you remain in the kingdom of God.”
