Religious leaders must play compelling roles to boost the economy of local communities – Tohomdet

In practical terms, building and sustaining the economic life of local communities is largely contingent upon the efforts put forward by religious leaders. This was an emphatic message delivered by Mr. Obadiah Tohomdet an excellent compelling business speaker and CEO of Simans Strategic Communications Ltd Abuja, during a mini business and economic meeting with Church leaders held during the annual Easter Crusade in Kagu, Pankshin Local Government. Barr. Tohomdet spoke passionately about the need for churches to encourage their members to engage in small-scale businesses so they can practically support the growth of the church and become enterprising people committed to building a better society. He further stressed on the need for churches and their leaders to diversify the economy of churches and follow strictly the principles of making money in a godly way. “Prayers alone can’t help you to make money. It is fundamentally about following the blueprint and principles in order to become economic growth contributors for posterity sake.” The Easter Crusade took place in Kagu from Thursday 18^th to Saturday 20^th 2019 and had Evangelist Judah Bedima as guest preacher. It was an opportunity to draw people closer to God through the word of faith and prayers in Mupun Land. For the past 8 years and counting, the Crusade Team with its leader Mr. Obadiah Tohomdet has been on the frontlines of championing the gospel of God throughout Mupun Land. The Meeting with the leadership of CAN (Kagu Branch) and other church leaders became a forum for the sharing of ideas and moulding opinions to facilitate the economic development of Kagu and Mupun Land.
