PNUR International
Prayer and Revival Convention (IPRC) 2016
22-27 August, 2016
Daffodil Hotels Elimgbu, Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Calvary greetings to all PNUR Kingdom partners.
I wish to say a very big “Thanks” to all of you for standing
by me and all the other laborers under this banner. I regret my inability to
write this letter before. Some of our senior partners have made this request
several times but I was not convinced in my spirit that the Lord was leading me
to write then. I had to bow before Him in many days of prayer, most importantly
to find out what HE is saying to us. Several issues have been pending and some
difficult decisions have to be made.
I know that you all can understand why I have to wait so.
PNUR is now twenty years in active service. There are mistakes we made while we
were younger which God could understand our immaturity and overlooked. But no
man at the age of twenty will be pardoned for behaving like a one year old. Again
I understand that all of you are expecting that things should get better as we
mature.
It is for these reasons I make this official statements-
1.
PNUR Annual
Convention in Port Harcourt. I know it is no longer news to most of you
that we relocated our venue from Pentecostal Deliverance Church at Stadium Road
to Daffodil Hotels in Elimgbu, Port Harcourt. Many partners had expressed their
dissatisfaction with our using a venue where we pay so much instead of the
generous offer from our ever faithful member and partner, Rev. Udosen Aniefiok.
Some of you even suggested that we use the PNUR office center, Door of Hope
Christian Center no matter how ill-equipped it is.
Let me point out what I have always stated;
PNUR as a ministry has a divine vision which I suggest that you look-up on our
website www.pnurnigeria.org. We cannot
take steps that could undermine the vision that God gave to us. By this I mean
that if we move the convention to our center, most congregational leaders will
fear for their members, hence we may not get their cooperation. Again, the hall
in Door of Hope Christian Center cannot take more than hundred persons. Putting
canopies outside as some have opined will put us under pressure because the month
of August is rainy season in Nigeria. Let me add also that we do not have
enough conveniences for the delegates. Needless to say that few people who
promised that when we gather by 2015 we will assess the situation on ground
even turned up for the convention or called after to find out how things went.
Still on this matter, I know partners who
were there in 2013 and 2014 saw the stress my wife and I went through in host
partners and delegates from outside Rivers State. Because of traffic gridlock
in Port Harcourt we often came late to meetings because the venue is far from
where I live. Rev. Aniefiok understands this and has been working with us in
this regard.
2.
Financial
Assistance- This is a major issue also. Our Elder brother and kingdom
partner, Engr. Yomi Oladeji have advised me more than once to make public our
budget so that members will know what is at stake. This I have decided to do,
but my major challenge is that I have never been comforted publishing financial
appeal on social media.
Let me use this medium to once again
appreciate those of you who sent us money for IPRC 2015. Most of them won’t like
to have their names published but I thank all of you. It is needful to point out
that some of the supports came rather late. Some came two days to the program,
while yet many came when we were two days into the program. That made planning
very difficult. It will be wonderful if we can receive your support at least
two weeks before the program.
3.
Delegates
from outside- Let me apologize to all of you who came from outside Port
Harcourt in 2015. We regret our inability to give a very comfortable lodging we
would have loved to. We are trusting God that this year will be far better
4.
Budget-
The main challenges we have now are payment for the venue which have to be
booked ahead of time. The next is the
printing of the fliers and Newsletters. Let me also appreciate those who have been
asking about our Newsletter.
Hall-
one hundred and twenty thousand Naira (N120,000) daily and totals to seven
hundred and twenty thousand Naira (N720,000) the six days. The fliers, flex banners and bill boards costs are flexible but we
peg them at three hundred thousand Naira (N300,000). Feeding and hosting the delegates is also flexible. We may also peg
it at three hundred thousand Naira (N300,000). Plus and minus we need two
million Naira (N2, 000,000) to host IPRC 2016 in Port Harcourt- Nigeria
Those
outside Nigeria should be do their conversion.
5.
Foreign
Delegates- Those coming from outside Nigeria should give early information
to help logistics. In fact, not only those from outside Nigeria but everybody
coming from outside Port Harcourt
I wish thank all of you for being such a
great encourage to what God is doing through PNUR
Yours-in-the-hope-of-another-outpour,
