    At the Diocesan level, the organization is planning to have an income generating project for men ministry. The organization is yet to acquire space where to install a maize mill.
    Many more conferences and workshops are to take place at Parish, Archdeaconry and Diocesan Levels. Revival Radio a social medium will foster participation and engagement of men to create awareness and action on different topical areas.

Everything that is being done aim at fulfilling the Diocesan Vision “ A transformed and prosperous church that glorifies God”. I believe with God’s guidance this will be fulfilled.
