Renowned gospel preacher and the General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Christian Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has commended the Bayelsa State Government for expanding the frontiers of development regardless of the current harsh economic situations.

Pastor Kumuyi stated this while speaking with newsmen during his courtesy visit to Government House, Yenagoa.

The gospel preacher said the present administration in the state is making steady progress to justify their election.

He also commended the people of the state for their resilience, peaceful disposition and support to the government and prayed God for greater progress in the state.

According to Pastor Kumuyi, they were in the state for a global crusade with the theme, “Full Redemption For All Through Christ”, which he said would bring salvation to individuals, families and communities in the state and beyond.

The General Superintendent, who informed that the Deeper Life Ministry had earlier taken the global crusade to several states in the country including Lagos, Oyo, Rivers and Cross-River, invited the Governor, his Deputy and all members of the State Executive Council to the crusade.

Responding, Governor Douye Diri noted that Bayelsa State and his administration count it as a thing of great joy to play host to the global crusade.

Represented by his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, the Governor pointed out that the visit of two highly respected men of God in the persons of Pastor Enoch Adeboye and Pastor W.F. Kumuyi to Bayelsa in the first quarter of the year portends a good omen for the state.

He thanked Pastor Kumuyi and his team for the visit, noting that his visits had always renewed the people’s faithfulness and hope in God.

Governor Diri also commended the Deeper Life Church for being steadfast on its message of righteousness and salvation, stressing that messages from the pulpit should be such that would inspire people to seek the Kingdom of God.
