The President, Anambra State Anglican Fellowship, Archbishop Vining Memorial Church Cathedral (AVMCC), Chris Obuekwe, has called for unity and peace in the country especially in the period of widespread insecurity and banditry issues.

Obuekwe, who disclosed this recently during the celebration of the AVMCC National Harvest tagged: ‘Harvest of Restoration’ said the fellowship is using the harvest to ask God to restore Nigeria back to its glory, deliver her from the calamities taking place in the country, bring unity, peace and restore the country.

Speaking on the objective of the harvest, Obuekwe stated the event was quite significant for Anambra fellowship because it was time to celebrate the state and showcase its culture, while uniting and fellowshipping with people from other states that are church members of AVMCC.

Anambra State Fellowship set aside a day yearly to organise New Year thanksgiving to thank God for what He has done for the fellowship.

The objective of the fellowship is to have a good relationship with members of the church from other states to contribute significantly to the church.

Another goal of the fellowship is to support indigent churches in Anambra State to meet their basic needs such as repairs of church buildings, and providing financial aids to support the priests.

In his remarks, one of the patrons of the fellowship, Mr. Mallinson Ukatu, noted that the fellowship is passionate about service to humanity, and support to the churches in the rural communities in Anambra State.

Ukatu explained that with the contributions of the fellowship, they are able to provide life support, and help the churches in the local communities back home in Anambra State.

He added that the aim of supporting the local churches back home is to ensure that they are able to benefit from the urban church especially when the need arises.

Chairman, National Harvest Organising Committee Anambra Anglican Fellowship, Don Samuel Uchechukwu, expressed the need for the state to be governed by a God-fearing leader that can accommodate persons of other faiths.
