He said: “The conference is also a re-union service for all Fulani converts regardless of their denominations and to share experiences and encourage one another in the propagation of the gospel of peace.
“It is a concept of COCIN 43 years ago, and to debunk the notion that Fulani’s are nomadic and can’t be reached with the gospel of Christ.’’
According to him, man must have compassion on the unsaved to draw them to Christ for eternal salvation.
Rev. Sebok decried the level of crisis in Nigeria which usually resulted to loss of lives and property, adding that Nigerians must embrace peace for the progress and development of the nation.
Speaking on behalf of the converts, Rev. Hassan Mohammed expressed gratitude to God for giving them a new lease of life as Christians.
