forth the glory of Christ in their daily assignments.

Catholic Church gave the charge when he played host to members of the
Kwara NUJ Christmas Carol committee in his office.
The chairman expressed joy at the initiative, stressing that โโฆwith
this you are planning, CAN is in full support. You have the support of
CAN because Christ must be known. It is an assignment for all
Christians, whether you are a cleric or not, the most important duty
of all Christians is to make Christ known to the whole world.โ
He however urged members of the committee not to focus on the Carol
alone but to strive for other programs that will project Christ to the
world.
โI want to thank you for this Carol but after the Carol what next?
I would love to see more programs organised to show forth the glory of
God after this carol and this is my charge to you, be committed to the
things of God and let the world see the glory of Christ in you and the
work of your hands,โ he urged.
