Jayapura, 15/6 (Jubi) – The Church has been defeated and the power of God has been denied, said the Chairman of the Evangelist Synod Rev. Benny Giay in the 27th anniversary of the Walter Post Theology College (STT WP) on Friday (13/6) in Jayapura.
Speaking at the celebration under the theme “Participation of the Walter Post Theology College to portray the new evangelistic messages,” he spotlighted how drugs, domestic violence and alcohol are increasingly dominating people’s lives today.
“Therefore I ask this institution as well as the ministers to be actively involved,” he said.
He also invited the ministers to reach the people and become their friends in confronting the obstacles. He also asked all parties to give the broadest opportunity to women to taking an active role inside the Church.
“Because the Church should also lead to end the oppression towards the women, because as human being we are all the same.
