President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with Dr Gabriel Farombi, the General Overseer Emeritus of Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria and founder of the Refreshing Ministries International, who turns 80 on August 12.
Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, issued the President’s congratulatory message in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.
He said: “President Buhari joined the Christian community in Nigeria and abroad, family members, friends and Farombi’s co-workers in the vineyard in celebrating the grace of God upon the life of His humble servant, which separated him early for a life of sacrifice, service and charity.’’
The President extolled Farombi’s loyalty and commitment to the preaching and teaching of the gospel, especially with the establishment of the 10-year-old Refreshing Ministries International.
According to him, the Refreshing Ministries International inspires preachers across the world and provides trainings on best practices in spreading the love and truth of Jesus Christ.
He affirmed that the prayers of the faithful and spiritual leaders in Nigeria, like Farombi, and the preaching of undiluted word of God had immeasurably contributed to the oneness of the country.
Buhari further appreciated the former General Overseer for his love, wisdom and resourcefulness.
He prayed that the almighty God would “pour more grace upon His servant for longer life, good health and strength’’ to continue serving the nation and humanity.
