A woman with a physical disability from Eket, Akwa Ibom State, received a wheelchair during the third day of the Eastern Nigeria Union Conference (ENUC) Inter-Conference Adventist Possibility Ministries (APM) Convention Abia State. The presentation, described as one of the most emotional moments of the convention's opening ceremony, highlighted the church's commitment to supporting persons with disabilities through practical acts of compassion.
According to Adventist Possibility Ministries, in a Facebook post published on August 7, ENUC APM Director, MG El-dad Monu, recounted meeting the beneficiary during the Global APM Sabbath at Eket Seventh-day Adventist Church. Moved by her faith and determination despite having to be carried from place to place, he initiated efforts to provide her with a wheelchair. The proposal was later approved by the President of the Eastern Nigeria Union Conference, Pastor Onyebuchi Thomas Opara.
The wheelchair was officially presented by Pastor Opara and received on behalf of the beneficiary by Mrs. Nora Jacob, representing both the recipient and the Akwa Ibom Conference Adventist Possibility Ministries Director, Mrs. Hope Agharanya. Delegates from the Akwa Ibom Conference applauded the presentation, while the Union President offered a prayer for the beneficiary's renewed hope, strength, and well-being.
The presentation underscored the mission of Adventist Possibility Ministries to demonstrate Christ's love through tangible acts of service. Organizers said the gesture reflects the convention's emphasis on restoring dignity, fostering inclusion, and reminding members that all people are gifted, needed, and called for mission.
