P-SICE
Mr. chairman, P-SICE came off at almost all the sub-coordinating branches during the third trimester field programme. A record of forty (40) participants was recorded from Nyankpala. Five communities were reached out where most people gave their lives to Christ. These include Gbandu, Nafarang, Tingoli, Gleshegu and Kpana. It came off from 18 th -21 st May 2008.In all 112 people gave their life to Christ.
UDS Navrongo campus as well as Wa campus also embarked on P-SICE. In all, the programme was a success.
ACHIEVEMENTS
The word of GOD through P-SICE was preached in various communities within the districts and a number of souls were won. The sick were healed and others delivered from bondages.
NATIONAL PRAYER CONFERENCE
A representative from Nyankpala campus took part in the National Prayer Conference at University of Ghana, Legon on 18th September 2008.
CRUSADE Hopefully the co-ordinating branch will be having its crusade next trimester.
FINANCE Our source of finance is assessment from sub-coordinating schools and offertory from special programme organize by the co-ordinating branch.
CHALLENGES -Co-ordinating schools do not pay their assessment on time which sometime makes coordination difficult and burdens the coordinating heads -Difficulty in obtaining funds for P-SICE
CONCLUSION
Being confident of this very thing, that He has begun a good work in us will carry it to a full completion until we say “Indeed, we have fought the good fight, have finished the race and have kept the faith”.
It is our fervent prayer that the LORD will continue to strengthen us to work diligently in the various offices we have been called into serve. For us, “To live is Christ and to die is gain” NUPS-G---------For Christ.
