In an era marked by rapid societal changes, economic pressures, and challenges in family life, Step Out In Faith International is poised to provide spiritual and leadership guidance with its upcoming Step Out In Faith Leadership Summit 2024. Scheduled to hold on Saturday, September 21st, 2024 at the Anointed Christian Assembly Int’l Lagos, providing a timely platform for church leaders, aspiring ministers, and individuals seeking clarity on navigating the complexities of life and ministry.
Themed “The Reality of Life & Ministry”, the summit promises to explore practical strategies for thriving in both spiritual and secular dimensions, addressing issues that resonate with today’s society. The world is facing unprecedented challenges—from economic downturns, family instability, to rising social tensions—and leaders are often at the crossroads of these challenges, providing counsel and direction.
This year’s summit brings together an impressive lineup of speakers, including Dr. Basil O. Ibeh, a renowned leadership consultant, Prof. Oyetunde Algagbe, an academic with a deep understanding of societal transformation, Adun Bohan, a marriage and family expert, and Pastor Oladipo Aiyemo, a respected faith leader with a strong background in pastoral care and community building.
Leadership in Turbulent Times
Against the backdrop of Nigeria’s ongoing economic challenges—marked by inflation, fluctuating currency values, and widening gaps between the rich and poor—this summit is particularly timely. Families are struggling under the weight of rising costs, and marriages are increasingly strained as financial pressures compound already existing issues. The summit will tackle how faith and leadership can provide solutions in these turbulent times.
Dr. Basil O. Ibeh, known for his leadership expertise, is expected to speak on navigating these financial and societal pressures while remaining grounded in faith. He is expected to provide insights on how leaders can inspire resilience in their communities and maintain a focus on long-term goals in ministry despite short-term economic setbacks.
Impact on Family and Marital Life
With the rise of divorce rates and family breakdowns becoming more prevalent, the summit will address the realities of balancing ministry with family life. Marriage counselor Adun Bohan is set to share strategies for maintaining healthy marriages in an era where the institution of marriage is increasingly under attack. His session will focus on fostering open communication, managing financial stress in marriages, and sustaining spiritual growth as a couple.
The Church’s Role in Social and Economic Stability
As the church continues to play a pivotal role in providing moral and social support to communities, Prof. Oyetunde Algagbe will dive into the church’s influence in stabilizing society. With his academic expertise in societal change, Algagbe will offer perspectives on how religious institutions can help individuals adapt to the changing realities of life, work, and family.
A Call to Spiritual Leadership
The summit will culminate with a powerful session led by Pastor Oladipo Aiyemo, who will share insights on spiritual leadership in times of societal crisis. His message is expected to encourage leaders to remain steadfast in their spiritual calling, even as the demands of life and ministry grow more complex.
The Step Out In Faith Leadership Summit is expected to attract a large turnout, providing not just spiritual empowerment but practical tools to deal with the intersection of faith, life, and societal challenges. In a season where uncertainty looms over many aspects of life, the summit offers a beacon of hope, equipping leaders to rise above adversity and guide their communities with wisdom and faith.
