While speaking on this year’s conference, Revd Adejumo stated that: “The Bible makes it clear that God’s intention about us and everything that carries His signature must get better and better. It is the Lord’s doing that each year more and more women are drawn to attend the conference.
“We strive by the grace of God to offer more than spiritual impartation. For example, we offer a ‘shop for free service for widows.’
“Here, widows shop for clothes, shoes and food at no cost. Last year, MTN partnered with us by providing generators and solar lamps towards the event. Every year we try to meet more needs, and God has been faithful.”
One of the things the woman of God would love to do is to change women’s mentality, self- esteem, perception of life and self-development.
According to her, “a woman is NOT inferior in any way to the man. The African woman in particular is faced with so many challenges: geographical, cultural, financial, historical, religious, social, personal and ethnic and so on.
“The years, the woman was only ‘seen’ and not heard.” Things are changing but not at the expected pace. Every woman deserves honour. Every woman deserves dignity. No woman deserves to be abused or maltreated no matter the situation.”
