Ugbede-Ojo said:
“Some of us travel from distant places to Goshen just to hear your preaching, and we feel disappointed when we don’t see you on the pulpit, even though we have smaller branches nearby. As a servant of God, I am personally against this type of withdrawal from active service. I have seen elderly white pastors still serving in their old age, and from all indications, you are still very strong and youthful. However, since this is the mandate of the church, we respect it. Congratulations, and may His divine presence always abide with you. Amen.”
Musa Peace reacted:
