The Nigerian Baptist Convention Youth Conference, NBCYC, has congratulated the new President of the Men’s Missionary Union, MMU, Dr Soye Asawo describing his emergence as God’s will.

The youths in a statement signed and released by their National President, Pastor Onajite Enunuaye assured the new leadership of the youths commitment to a growing and missionary-minded MMU.

Enunuaye also congratulated other newly elected officials. He enjoined them to support the kingdom vision of the new President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, Rev Dr Israel Adelani Akanji especially in the area of missions.

The President said:
“We congratulate Dr Soye Asawo and other newly elected officials of our fathers, the Men’s Missionary Union, MMU, of the Nigerian Baptist Convention who assumed office at the just concluded 41st Congress held at First Baptist Church, Garki, Abuja.
