The atmosphere at the EYN LCC Jos was filled with jubilation and heartfelt appreciation as members, family, friends, and well-wishers gathered to celebrate a man whose leadership impacted many. Choir groups and song ministers from different units within the DCC led powerful renditions in song ministration, creating an atmosphere of worship and thanksgiving.
The guest preacher at the event, Rev. Samiala Athiyawa of the Brethren Discipleship Center, Jos, delivered an inspiring sermon centered on the theme of gratitude. He emphasized the biblical importance of thanksgiving and challenged the congregation to develop a heart that always returns to thank God. He particularly encouraged Rev. Bulus to remain steadfast in his calling and continue his faithful service to God wherever he is sent.
Rev. Samiala also spoke passionately about cheerful giving, stating that thanksgiving is incomplete without giving back to God. “God loves a cheerful giver,” he reminded the congregation, adding that giving from a sincere heart is one of the greatest expressions of gratitude.
Goodwill messages flowed from various church leaders, family members, and associates who praised Rev. Bulus for his excellent spirit, approachability, and wisdom. They recalled his role in fostering peace and unity within the church and acknowledged the positive influence he had on church operations through his role as DCC Secretary.
