AMEN!
Since the mission is a commission
The vision can never be an illusion
Hallucination, or figment of the imagination
In the 70's he saw it
Been shown to him like 3D cinema
From the first to the third Heaven it films
Perishing souls but no chimera
Silence, until it was broken like broken English
"Go lift up the faces of those that perish
And them that look up to me will be saved"
Two years later the logo and motto was shown
"To know Jesus and to make Jesus known"
The ministry was born and subjected to growth
Forty-one years later the boat is still much afloat
Sailing through storms and turbulence,
River Jordan, Red Sea with ebullience
Exuberance, buoyancy and effervescence
Like Noah's ark there are many compartments, department or segments
Though, one message, one mission, one vision, one destination, one God.
God bless the men that took the torch to the tertiary institutions
Lionly roaring aloud the message of love, truth & salvation
As did our Father in his days, good old days
With "Jesus loves you" branded T-Shirts
But in our day it was different
There was a bedrock to build on, the Kirk
Men grafted the Greater Evangelism Campus Crusaders
Onto it's mother Greater Evangelism World Crusade
Sole mission of taking the Vision to our tertiary institutions
You can't go to the battlefield and expect not to see bullet fly
You can't expect not to sweat if you go close to a fire
One institution at a time, GECC has grown
Still growing amidst of its clone
But let those men be known
Be forever remembered for their Peter-ness, Paul-ness, John-ness and Numbere-ness
Let the all Campus Crusaders remember
Dressman, Uche-Awaji, Gregre, Usman Dangana, Warri Numbere,
Woi, TSP Sunday, Late Prosper Black, Tams, Amatari, Toki Numbere
Few labourers but great harvest
Much toiling, ploughing, sowing but sweet sweat
Some still in the vineyard some are asleep
Ten years later it is us they reap
Running with the same torch they lit
Planting more branches growing like the Iroko tree
Colossal thanks to the Apostle and his wife
For answering the call of God upon their lives
For grand patronage and inauguration
Blessing this arm of the ministry with all blessings there is
To all pastors & churches for their stanchions
May God give y'all more unction to function
As we grow together in Him, faithfully waiting for our Ascension
AMEN!!!!
