Our Team Rector, the Rev Canon Chi Okpala received the best possible news as the New Year started with the release of his father after nearly one in captivity in Nigeria.

He writes: “It is with immense joy and gratitude to God that I share the wonderful news of my father’s release. After 28 days in captivity and payment of heavy ransom, Archbishop Godwin has literally been freed at this very early hour. Our hearts are overflowing with thanksgiving for his safe return.

We are deeply grateful for your prayers and support throughout this time. The faith and encouragement from you and others have been a source of strength for our family. Please continue to pray for my father’s healing and restoration as we begin this journey of recovery.

Thank you once again for standing with us in prayer and solidarity”.

With every blessing,

Revd Chi Okpala
