The General Suprintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Dr William Kumuyi, on Wednesday called on youths to dialogue with the Federal Government to achieve positive social, economic impact change in Nigeria.
Kumuyi made the call during a media chat with Journalists at the Airport in Port Harcourt.
Kumuyi was in Port Harcourt for a six days programme hoilding from Aug. 15 to 20 at Yakubu Gowon stadium organised by the Change Makers International Initiative(CMI).
Kumuyi who was the Convener of the Initiative,said that the programme was a non religious, non partisan, non denominational movement, driven by a passion to drive positive change and create social impact in Nigeria.
The General General supretendent for Deeper Life Church, said that the programme tagged”Driving Positive Change and Social Impact” was for humanity and would leave the world and the community better than it was met, and apply differently to the people.
“The aimed is to accomplish positive changes in the lives of Nigerians irrespective of their backgrounds to make them effect desired social and spiritual transformation.
“Nigeria’s well documented social, economic and moral problems are impacting all aspects of the country and the stark reality of the situation is that all hands must be on deck to effect needed changes otherwise, the society will continue to suffer,” he said.
“Change makers International Initiative, we see that every individual, every family and every institution can do better and if we all do better in various areas, both relationship, interaction at our work places, to our colleges, everywhere, there will be a change in the nation and it doesn’t take mighty efforts,
“A little drops of water make a mighty ocean and if we can begin the change here as Individuals, as families, then carry the change to our offices and everywhere all that we are mourning and groaning about will turn around for the better,”Kumuyi said.
He stated that the change makers international would not blame anyone for the past failures, rather they want a change for the better, a fresh understanding, and fresh service to the people, saying that accusing fingers would not solve the problems,rather positive change would heal the nation.
“When we say that there should be a change, there could be different methods of bringing up the change, the young people and older people, even the government may have different views, but we must agree to a positive change.
“If we can harness all efforts and energy together, not trying to defeat or crush anyone, the youths, government and everyone knowing that we all have the rights constitutionally to bring a change, we all must brainstorm and strategise on a round conference table to have direction to follow and achieve positive change.
“I also think that when we love one another and we respect and honour one another, we’ll be able to sit down without any kind of grievance or retaliation or destroying anything, all we want is a better country and we will have it.
“I might have to change in my attitude, I might have to change my mindset, I might have to change alot of things and when those changes come together it changes a person, it changes his interaction, relationship.
“And when those changes are made, we see a national change, we see a community change and we go ahead to see global change.
“Just like the ripple effect, when each of our lights shine it makes us see more light, What we see will also lead to what we do and what we do will also bring the change, it’s a kind of chain reaction,”he added.
