"Oh give thanks unto the Lord for He is goodness and His  mercy endures forever". For our safety through year 2011  and for the opportunity to enter into year 2012 with joy,  God deserves to be glorified. Last year was full of  activities. It was a year of election in Nigeria, which  claimed many lives and destroyed properties, it was a  year the menace of Boko Haram sect threatened and  distrupted the peace of many states in Nigeria, we are,  however grateful to God for His protection over all Men  in GOFAMINT  together with all our leaders.  To the glory of God, we held the best Men Conference ever in the year  2011, with the theme:" Lifestyle of Highly Successful Men". The Conference  was the best attended one. It was so because, the Mission through the  leadership of Our General Overseer, Pastor (Dr.) Elijah Oludele Abina,  gave the much needed support to turned the Conference into a huge  success. We bless God for the success and appreciate leaders at all level  for supporting the Men's Fellowship through the year.  I am glad to announce to you that we have commenced work on the first  deck of the Men's House in the last week of 2011, the work is in progress  and by the special grace of God, it shall be completed before the end of the  third week of January this year. We thank God for the provision for this  project. It also noteworthy, that one of our men has promised to donate a  sum of N5,000,000 towards the actualization of this dream. It is my believe  that the Almighty God will still inspire other men who are blessed in the  Mission to donate generously to move the project forward. I pray that all  Men in GOFAMINT Men will see this need and rise up to meet it in Jesus'  name. Let me remind all our leaders, the Regional Pastors, District/Area Pastors,  Assembly Pastors, that the business of running the fellowship smoothly in  our various territories has been given to us by the Mission. Let us use our  positions to enhance the growth of the Fellowship in this new Year, our  support for the Fellowship should not be a support for an individual, it  should be a support for what the Mission stands for and represents, I pray  that the good Lord will enable us to sow and reap bountifully in the year  2012. It is well.  GOFAMINT Men Fellowship was inaugurated during the Annual  Convention of the Mission in the Year 1998. The Fellowship was  inaugurated on behalf of the Mission by the Assistant General  Secretary of the Mission, Pastor S. A. Kolawole, who delivered the  message of the day.
