However, I initially resisted the call to become a Bishop, but God eventually prevailed.”

Reflecting on his illustrious career, ShinaPeters expressed deep satisfaction and gratitude to God for his guidance. “I am content and fulfilled,” he declared. “My sole prayer now is for increased enlightenment in God’s word and the grace to draw closer to Him.”
