At the ordination ceremony, Prof. Emokpae formally announced the recent ordination of Rev. Oyekan Reginald in Elephant and Castle Church in the United Kingdom (UK).
 
In his sermon, Emokpae described the new leaders as devoted servants who have led many to the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. He emphasised that the ordination should not be seen as a badge of honour, but rather as a recognition of God’s grace at work in their lives and ministries. He charged them to embrace it as a divine mandate; to go forth and expand the reach of the Kingdom of Heaven.
