Drawing inspiration from Matthew 28:18-20, she spoke about the need for a disciplined and transformed society grounded in Kingdom values that honour God and apply biblical principles across governance, business, education, media, arts, religion, and family life.
Organized in partnership with the President's Office (Diaspora Affairs), the conference, themed, "Africa, Your Chain Is Broken! But There Is Another One, Who Put It?" brought together hundreds of women from 21 African countries for worship, prayer, and a renewed call for continental progress through unity.
