Thousands of pastors from different denominations converged on Christos International Worship Centre’s Abuja Headquarters today Saturday, 25th January 2025.

The conference which discussed welfare of pastors, also witnessed many doctors and
nurses who were there at the Church, at the Dome, No. 1 David Ogudu Crescent by Apo Kabusa Express Way, Apo, Abuja where free medical checkups were given to people.

The medical team also gaave out free medication, and as well as some 50 medicated eye glasses to those in need.

Dr. David Ogudu, the presiding Bishop of Christos International Worship Centre explained that church ministers or pastors “need to re-learn and unlearn many things” and begin to take better care of their health, as there is a big difference between “fact and faith.” He said that many pastors are so much at the beck and call of their other church members that they burn out easily. He said many do not know how to rest well and
that inadequate rest or lack of sleep has an effect on the body and that though miracles are real, pastors and Christians in general should fully embrace medical care to meet their health challenges by going to the hospital for treatment.

He stressed that it is unchristian to refuse to go for medical checkups so that complications could be nipped in the bud before they develop as God created the doctors and one of them was even an Apostle.

So, while engaging in certain things which are good for spiritual growth, a pastor must also learn how to listen to his body for health warnings and know ways of how to take care of himself, he added.

The free medical checkup was part of a three-day series of events sponsored by the David Ogudu Mission Foundation to mark Bishop Ogudu’s 50th birthday. On Friday 24 January, a Praise Worship session was held in the church from 5: 30 PM to kick start the celebrations, while the Ministers Conference and Free Medical Checkup came up on Saturday from 8: AM. The grand finale comes up on Sunday with the launch of Bishop Ogudu’s music album, celebratory comedy and music presentation.

This Red Carpet main event will start from 1: PM after tomorriw Sunday church service. Josh Pirez, CEEDEE and Mazi Prosper will be on hand to spice up the celebrations.
