Then the next speaker for the day was introduced on stage that was Ps Simon Njock he taught on the topic WORK IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD .After that powerful teaching was the final closing prayer and it all ended for the three days retreat at BCC.

The retreat was very interesting because it led to a massive spiritual growth of the people who made time to be there even though the population was not that many but the few who had time to attend gained something very wonderful.For the attendance it was not that massive because the highest attendance was 23 . But they have really caught the fire and all hopes is on them to extend it to those who were not there .
