He emphasized the sudden and painful nature of Rev. Musa’s passing, urging all to be prepared to meet the Lord as written in the Bible. Rev. Billi expressed particular concern for the members in Dille due to the area’s volatility adding that it was difficult for the transfer committee to shop for a pastor that will stay in volatile areas like Dille, while commending their resilience.
During the sermon delivered by Rev.
