Considering the world’s need for peaceful co-existence and positive moves towards sustainable development and family-oriented growth and advancement, the CAC women in Canada have recorded a new first in spiritual family orientation.

The women, under the aegis of Christ Apostolic Church, Way-to-Life, Ottawa, Canada, organized a one-week marathon prayer, lectures, health talks and visit cum gifts presentation anniversary program, tagged Canada-for-Christ, with the theme, ‘The Role of Women in Development of the Home, Church and Community’.

The week, which started on Monday, May 6, 2024, with daily marathon prayer-hour prayers and lectures coordinated by Pastor (Mrs) Omowunmi Adeoye and the Women Leader, Mrs Florence Ajayi, had its highlight and scored a first in evangelism in Canada with the positive reactions recorded when the Way-To-Life women went round Ottawa vicinity with household gifts and engaged women of diverse races on the need to embrace Jesus Christ and mould their families in perfect shape towards a safe, healthy and secured society. The CAC women divided themselves into groups to cover more grounds.

The health talk on Saturday, May 11, focused on Managing Stress, was handled by Mrs Ajoke Smart,  popularly known as Sisimi. She examined possible causes of stress and how to prevent them. She stressed the need for seeking urgent medical help from qualified healthcare practitioners in cases of issues beyond the women’s coping abilities instead of resorting to self-help.

The grand finale of the special week, which was also Mother’s Day, was held on Sunday, May 12, 2024, at the CAC Way-to-Life church auditorium in Ottawa.

The day was marked by the women in uniform colors of white and wine. The men in support of the special day took over all the women duties as a mark of respect and honour for their gender on their special day.

The children were not left behind as they expressed love and appreciation to their mothers through special presentations.
Gifts were also given to every woman and special gifts to deserving church ministers.

The founder and officiating Pastor Debo Adeoye urged the women to always be like the biblical Dorcas. He took his sermon on the role of women in the family as peacemakers and protectors  expected to avert calamities in their families and society from 2 Timothy 1 verse 5.

Pastor Adeoye urged women to treat their husbands well and never succumb to class-pressure in which many women maltreated, lied, and pitched their husbands against foreign authorities after being taken abroad by the men, and they feel ‘they have achieved and no longer need the men’.

He said every human action had spiritual repercussions and admonished people to mind their ways.

Other Ministers who supported the Way-To-Life women in their special week included Messrs. Sola Babatunde, Timothy Ajayi, Eric Ogbegie, Debo Odeyemi, Olawale Otun, John Oparaocha, Iriafe Babatunde, Gbenga Adebayo, Olatunde Ogunleye, Babalola Omobamidele, and elders Akinyele Akindotuni, Olubunmi Omoyeni, and Austin Ogowentiti.
