How to Manage Conflict in Marriage, has 87 couples drawn from 26 local congregations of the Lord&#8217;s Church in Akwa Ibom State and Rivers State as participants on Saturday January 4, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resource person at the retreat Mr Victor Robert, Mr Idorenyin Akpanobong, Mr Mojima Etokudo and Dr Mike Udam who sent a goodwill message all do justice to their assigned topics. God&nbsp;Bless our resource persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The retreat features interactive session, Q &amp; A segment, meal Fellowship etc. Testimonies from past participants is amazing and we are encourage to do more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EFFECT:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Since the leadership of the Lord&#8217;s Church depends on the family of individual Christian, many couples testify of the Lord&#8217;s Church growth due to their participation in the Couples Retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* It create bonding with the couples<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Also, many have learned the art of conflict management as a panacea for building a strong relationship in marriage which is an integral part of the Church growth mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Many have replicated the couples retreat in their own areas to further church growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Some who attended the retreat in the past years testify of the positive impact in their families and the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pray for resources to do more as this channel is building up the church in our rural areas of Nigeria and Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God bless you all at the Shackle Island Church of Christ for your generosity, you are a great part in our work for Christ for your support to host this important Church growth mechanism event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Again, God bless you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Christian Love and Service,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mojima
