Pastor Makanjuola's 60th Birthday

[Emmanuel Udo]

Dear Brethren,

Greater Works.

I trust all is well with you all and all yours. I believe all of you are participating in the fast and are preparing yourselves to perform greater works. "This kind does not go forth except by prayer and fasting"

As some of us are already aware Pastor Makanjuola will be celebrating his 60th birthday at the end of this month.

We think that he has been very generous in sharing with us and blessing us spiritually both in the course of the SOD and through his ministrations in the church during his frequent visits.

We believe we would do well to appreciate him during his period of rejoicing by buying him a befitting gift. We will also buy a sizable birthday card for every one to autograph so we can send along with the gift. This card will be circulated on 17 & 24 Jan 2014.

To this end we suggest that everyone should make a voluntary contribution as he/she is able. We expect a visiting minister from UK at the end of the month and we intend to send the gift through him.

Please, give your contributions to Sis. Uduak Ekwere at Doha Central and Bro. Leo Etonyeaku for Doha-2. The cards will also be with them.

Bro. Tomiwa Oluwole will be sending out another mail to explain a praise program that is being arranged as part of the birthday and our individual roles in it.

Let me also take this opportunity to remind us to return the graduation gowns if we have not done so already.

God bless you richly.

Dear All

As mentioned in Deacon Udo's email, our dear Pastor Felix Makanjuola will be celebrating his 60th birthday this month and as part of our appreciation to God for his life, he has requested that the SOD 2012/2013 Students join in a 60hrs of non-stop praise session.

The timing for this is from Thursday 23rd Jan 12 midnight (morning) till Sunday 25th Jan 12noon. In consideration for our peculiar situation here with respect to this timing, it has been agreed that a schedule will be drawn where we can individually praise God at a suitable location and mode for a period of 20 minutes. 

Kindly refer to the attached document to know what day and time you have been scheduled. The schedule is in hourly slots with three people in each slot for 20mins each. For example there is a time slot of 9am to 10am and you are under 

            "1st 20mins" it means you'll be praising & thanking from 9.00 to 9.20.

            "2nd 20mins"  means from 9.20 to 9.40

            "3rd 20mins"  means from 9.40 to 10am

As mentioned earlier, this is to be done at a location and in a mode of your choice. The central theme is that for the assigned 20mins we are praising and thanking God generally and specifically for the life of Pastor Felix.

Please note that various considerations were put into developing this schedule and while we may not have developed something suitable for all, we request your understanding and cooperation. However if for any reasons, the time is not suitable, please feel free to find someone else you can exchange with. The only thing is to ensure that the time allotted to you is covered. Also for the ease of timing, we have focused on only the SOD students based in Doha, Qatar. Those of us outside Qatar are free to participate as well. If you are in Doha and cannot find your name, please let us know and we will see how to rectify this. 

The Word of God encourages us to rejoice with them that rejoice and give honor to whom honor is due. Let's rejoice with Pastor Felix during this season in honour of his spiritual deposits in our lives.

Please reply on this forum should you have any other clarifications. 

Thank you and God bless!
