It's been a great privilege to have worked with my fellow officers, Ps Emmanuel Osei and Ps Douglas McCormac. I have the utmost respect for both of them, for their wisdom, dedication, patience and humility. I thank the SEC treasury team for their hard work and support to get the department and the Conference going especially during the lockdown and closure of our church buildings. It's a pleasure to work with the Trustees, Directors, office family and the whole workforce. It's been a great learning experience for me. God's grace and mercy have been evident in the way the Conference came through during these challenging times. Although I am called to work at Trans European Conference in a different capacity, I still continue to serve God in the best way possible for He is faithful. May God continue to bless all of us as we wait for His imminent return!"
