In a sacred occasion that resonates with spiritual significance, Rev. Samuel Enesi Raphael was recently ordained as a Priest in the Anglican Diocese of Lokoja, under the guiding hand of Most Rev. Emmanuel Egbunu. This ordination marks not only a personal milestone for Rev. Raphael but also a significant moment for the body of Christ.

Rev. Raphael is a shining example of humility and devotion, traits that have endeared him to those who have had the privilege of knowing him. His unwavering focus and dedication to his calling are evident in his commitment to carrying the burdens of others, embodying the true essence of pastoral care.

As a young man of the cloth, Rev. Raphael's approach is refreshing and inspiring. His humility is not just a facade but a genuine reflection of his character, making him approachable and relatable to the congregation he leads. In an era where spiritual leaders are often called to navigate complex challenges, Rev. Raphael stands out as a beacon of simplicity, humility, and authenticity.

Adding to the beauty of this sacred journey is the presence of Mrs. Raphael Ruth Eneze, a quiet and beautiful partner who complements Rev. Raphael's ministry. Her silent strength and grace serve as a pillar of support, underscoring the importance of a loving partnership in the demanding vocation of priesthood.

As we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Rev. Samuel Enesi Raphael, we also express gratitude for the guidance provided by Ven. Dr and Mrs Godwin M Kadiri and the Most Rev. Emmanuel Egbunu. 

May this ordination be the beginning of a fruitful and impactful chapter in Rev. Raphael's ministry, as he continues to carry the torch of faith, love, and service to the community.
