It was blessed togetherness of couples from some nearby districts in the West working area on Saturday 1st November, 2025 at Ikeja, Lagos. This event was able to foster oneness, moments to dine, wine and mingle together as brothers and sisters.

Graced by the presence was our Lead Apostle Nwanza Oscar who delivered the topic- “Glorious Couple” and gave vivid examples of glorious couples. He started with Apostle Peter Gfeller ir and wife as role model who celebrated their 50 years wedding anniversary this year. He made mention of stages of married couples – Stage 1 (beginners), Stage 2(middle) and Stage 3(final). In this final stage, the couple have already known themselves and nothing can really be an obstacle. All is grace.
We also got a guest speaker on Love in marriage/ Communication - Evangelist Elizabeth Owie JP, to strengthen communications in marriage and ensure decisions taken are not based on assumptions but clear facts. District Evangelist Skam Mustapha Growing in Love, this was also impactful and all could learn from this topic. Real-life stories from selected couples were also brought up to share life-experience. The workshop to brainstorm on the likely issues that can occur in a marriage and possible solutions was worth-the-while.
The programme ended with joyous and glorious couples returning to their destinations having learnt so much to grow in marriage and help to maintain a balanced work, environment and family life.
