Reverend Sam Aboyeji, the General Overseer of Foursquare Gospel Church has made known that, hosting the annual SWITCH youth programme by the church, is "a commitment and determination to contribute our quota as a church to raising the next crop of leaders for our nation in different spheres of life."
The General Overseer who gave the welcone address at this years programne, SWITCH 2.0 last Saturday at ths church headquaters at Yaba, went on to state that, SWITCH offers a platform for the church, to give back to the body of Christ in terms of offering mentorship opportunities for Young Ministers, the Next Generation and indeed everyone desirous of benefiting from the wealth and depth of knowledge and experience of those who have made and are still making success in ministry, marriage and the marketplace.
"It is my belief and earnest expectation that the time we would be spending together will be to renew, revive and recalibrate us into a higher realm of operation and positive impact in these areas.
"In our missions and evangelism efforts, reaching the next generation has to be intentional. We must not be like Eli who assumed that his children will get it and, unfortunately, they became sons of Belial. 1 Samuel 2:12, “Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.” Neither must we assume like Samuel who was told by the nation of Israel to his face that his children were not following after him and therefore couldn’t be their leaders.
The General Overseer ponted out that SWITCH 1.0 the first ediyion, was a success and had Pastor John Obaro, CEO of SystemSpecs and Pastor Mike & Gloria Bamiloye of Mount Zion Drama Ministries as speakers.
