The rector of Obinze Baptist College explained that if women of the church can see themselves as gold, they would surmount the contemporary challenges in the country.
“If mothers or women will act as ‘gold’ as it were, the implication is that despite the challenges, they will not let the nation go into extinction and precipice,” Dr. Enyubara added.
He urged the women to be resolute and continue to contribute towards the progress and growth of First Baptist Church Ahoada across the country.
He commended the women for their team work and strong sense of unity and purpose.

Earlier in her remarks, the president of Women Missionary Society (WMS) of the church, Mrs. Ogbobula Fortune Okechukwu charged the women to see themselves as gold and act according to the theme of their 2023 Mothers’ Day.
“I have told the women of our church to know that they are gold and behave like precious gold or jewel. They should be living an exemplary life and also know that their values and roles in the family and society is key in order to be seen as proper and well-rounded mothers or women,” Mrs. Ogbobula emphasized..
The president explained that the difference between this year’s mother’s day celebration of the church and that of last year was the introduction of a banquet.
She urged adolescent girls and young women to see themselves as gold and draw close to God.
