just like the erstwhile opposition has brought a refreshing change to the newly-acquired state govts, JC has demonstrated a unique dynamicism to his leadership in church. he joined us just over a year ago & i 1st got to know him at a kiddie birthday do last year.
he came across as unassuming & down-to-earth, & he surprised many when, in his quiet way, he showed what a committed worker he is for the Lord. he gallantly took over the sunday school program, a responsibility much dreaded even to the most diligent & dedicated, & undertook to revamp its outlook & content. the lesson study will now be preceded by organised singing & story-telling, & sometime in june, we will, for the 1st time, witness a Family Sports Day, an event unheard of in our sunday school circle till now.
detractors (yes, sadly they do exist) may think it's a new broom that sweeps clean but i sensed he has allowed himself to be used by the Lord to give the church a new direction - leading a way out of the spiritual wilderness, so to speak.
dare i even say, a resurrection of the church's flagging fortunes perhaps?
& is it just a co-incidence that his initials match that of the Shepherd Himself?
Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve. 1Pet 5:2

In his quiet ways slow and steady that is how great feats can be achieved. Empty vessel makes the most noise
iml,
i think he will do great things for the church - in his own quiet way.
