Women of Aguata Diocese will converge on Saint Peter’s Church, Ezinifite in Aguata Local Government Area from Thursday 1st July for a three-day sixteenth Aguata Diocesan Women’s Conference. The theme of the conference is: The Principle of Transformation Discipleship. The theme is to assure the people that being a true disciple of God is rewarding.

According to the Secretary of Aguata Diocesan Women’s Ministry, Mrs. Unoma Ekwueme, delegates and other representatives will arrive the conference venue on Thursday, 1st July for registration, after which an opening service will be held by 3pm.

On Friday, 2nd July, the President of the Conference, Mrs. Chinyere Hulda Ezeofor JP (Nnechukwunyere, Mama Aguata), will read the presidential address by 11am, while on Saturday, the unveiling of the 16th edition of the Christian Life Magazine and 2022 Calendar will take the centre stage at 2pm. Lady Phoebe Umudu is the profile mother of this year’s women conference.

The conference will end on Sunday, July 4, 2021 with a thanksgiving service and cutting of the conference cake by 10am.

The Diocesan Women conference, which promises far reaching spiritual manifestations, fulfillment and benefits, is under the presidency of Mrs. Chinyere Ezeofor and under the fatherly guidance of the Anglican Bishop of Aguata Diocese, the Right Reverend Samuel Ezeofor, who is also the patron.

Mrs. Ezeofor, though three years as President of Aguata Diocesan Women’s Ministry, needs to be commended for the manner she has been piloting the affairs of the Ministry. Worthy of praise is the manner in which she has been carrying along the Vice Presidents of the Women’s Ministry, who are the wives of Archdeacons.

Some of the major projects of the Diocesan Women’s Ministry, including the Lampada Table Water at Aguluezechukwu, Garri Processing Factory at Okpeze, among others, put in place by her pioneer president, the late Dame Jane Efobi, Nneifunaya, have been improved upon and repositioned by Mrs. Ezeofor for efficient service delivery. Plans are on to improve the facilities at the Skill Acquisition Centre at Ekwulobia and enhancing its performance to accommodate more women in the area.

The Women’s Ministry has also disbursed refundable loans to over fifty women, in addition to Macedonia visits to indigent members of the church in the Diocese to strengthen them morally, spiritually and physically.

The Women of Aguata Diocese are equally supporting the efforts of the Diocese to improve on the infrastructural development of institutions owned by the Diocese, as borehole drilling is ongoing at the Diocesan Hospital, Igboukwu, in addition to two-storey Dining Hall and kitchen at Saint Mary the Virgin Convent Ufuma. Youths are been empowered in their various skills to divert their minds from crime and restiveness.

The people of Aguata Diocese should support Mrs. Ezeofor by joining hands to make the 16th Aguata Diocesan Women’s Conference a huge success. A woman of substance, humility, virtue, discipline and truthfulness, Mrs. Ezeofor is working in line with the Biblical women of old like Esther, Deborah, Dorcas, among others, to organize and grow the Women’s Ministry which, she has taken to the next level.

Historically, in 1915, Ezinifite citizens, numbering 37, first embraced the CMS faith and quickly asked for a parcel of land for the establishment of a church in the community. They established the Immanuel church, which is today, the headquarters of Ezinifite Archdeaconry. Following the spread of the gospel in the community, more churches were established. They are the Saint Peter’s Church, where the 16th Aguata Diocesan Women Conference is taking place, Saint James’ Church and Saint Andrew’s.

So, as Women of Aguata Diocese brace for the 16th Diocesan Conference, well meaning citizens are invited as the host Archdeacon, Venerable David Obiaogboso, together with his wife, Chinyere and the Chairman of the Central Planning Committee of the event, Lady Ngozi Ike, has made adequate arrangements for a successful outing. Aguata Diocese, Lampada Christi!
