The atmosphere was solemn.
Once again, a significant moment in the history of the church was about to unfold.
Dressed in their pre-consecration vestments, the bishops-elect processed into the elegant Flow in the Anointing Chapel at the Anagkazo Campus, steps in sync to the dulcet tune.
This was it – a literally life-transforming moment in the lives of the 6 Firstlove Bishops and Mothers elect:
- Brian Thabiso Masuku
- Paul Prince
- Farrell Nii Kofi Ablah Bruce
- Daniella Dayanara Rochelle Hart
- Gifty-Iris Calah Krofuah
- Ruth Jani Oye Appiah-Denkyira
After the purpose of gathering was declared and prayer said, the candidates’ profiles were read – each life a beautifully different flavor, rich with testimonies and experiences uniquely capturing the Call of God!
They were then adorned in their new bishopric apparel, each detail connoting a great spiritual message.
The Presiding Bishop, Dag Heward-Mills laid hands on them, offering heartfelt prayers for each one.
He preached from Acts 3:12-13, emphasizing the grace and mercy of God which had found the consecrants and which would keep and help them in the journey ahead.
The ceremony ended with a lovely recession, greetings and photographs.
The Consecration of bishops is a momentous occasion, symbolizing the continued growth and vitality of the Church. It serves as a reminder of the importance of spiritual leadership and the commitment to serving the saints.
With their newfound authority, these bishops and mothers will carry the torch of faith, working in the fields of the Master, reaping the harvest!
