CHAN President Giving Key Speech
Dear CHAN Family members!
Love and blessings to you All! I trust you had a great 2021 and welcome into 2022 with Joy, Hope, Peace and Love that can only be found in Christ.2021 was not easy for many, CHAN inclusive- but our faithful Lord has not changed…has never left us…has sustained us and will continue to do so.In 2021, together, we have succeeded in:
- Restructuring CHAN as a ‘slimmer and smarter’ organization to be more effective. This is bringing and creating the understanding that CHAN and all her subsidiaries are one;
- Gradually regained the confidence and commitment of our Member Institutions and partners;
- Diversifying funding sources for CHAN by establishing water production company and gradually turning the estate to guest houses;
- Bringing CHAN up-to-date by clearing all outstanding statutory taxes/levies with relevant government agencies;
- Building the capacity of CHAN BOT and NEC members for more effective and efficient governance and advocacy roles.
- Reorganizing CHAN Medi-Pharm and put in place a new Board of Directors and recruited a substantive MD.
“For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]” – Eph. 2:8-9. I thank you all for allowing yourselves to be used by God and your contributions to CHAN’s success in 2021.
As we enter this new year 2022, let us all keep in mind that we still have a lot of work to do. I therefore enjoin all of us to brace up, trusting God that His work in and through CHAN will grow from strength to strength; and together, we will rejoice in him to His glory for the impact the works of our hands will make in glorifying God’s name.
Happy New and prosperous year 2022.
