November 1, 2023 - The ECU Alumni Fellowship - WE ARE PRESSING FORWARD!

Dear Brethren,

Thanksgiving
It was such an awesome experience as we gathered during the last Reunion to celebrate the 60th Diamond Jubilee Anniversary of our Great ECU. The breathtaking memories will be forever etched on our beautiful minds. And once again we want to appreciate ALL members of the ECU family for what the Lord has done through your gracious support. Thank you.

- We will be strategically mapping out tactics to go into all the nations and mountains of influence to teach and disciple them for our God and His Kingdom.

- We will be reaching inward amongst all our members and across generations to strengthen the weak hands and make firm feeble knees in order to make ready a mighty army for the Lord.

- We will be working closely with the Home Fellowship on campus to build stones and pillars in strategic places, in order to make predictable progress for the journey ahead.

- And we will be extending the frontiers of our chapters, generational groups and special units to organically grow our membership drive and shared prosperity by developing socio-economic opportunities/platforms, creative and enriching content that will inspire networking, bonding, communication, sharing and engagement across board.

THE ECU EMPOWERMENT CENTRE PROJECT UPDATE – TOWARDS COMPLETION & FURNISHING
It was a great sight for all present at the Reunion to finally see the Empowerment Centre building. God indeed has been faithful and we cannot stop saying a big thank you to all our members for your unrelenting support and contribution.

The painting works on the building started last week and the landscaping/gardening work is also continuing. Check the link below for update pictures https://bit.ly/empowermentphotos

The next phases of the project we need to mobilise towards now are:

2. Complete the Painting Works
3. The Furnishing and Fittings
4. Power/Energy Supply, Components and Backup

As emphasized during the Reunion, our Alumni Fellowship is only as strong, effective and powerful as the members who participate in its operations and activities. And we can best do this by being Informed, Involved and Active. We will love to hear from you - your contributions, input and suggestions as we arise to build together this season, trusting the God of Heaven himself to prosper us – amen.

In His Service,
