The General Overseer of the Covenant Ark of Safety International, CASI, Heroes Assembly in Heroes City, Bishop Dr. Godwyns Soroaye FHNR JP, the Tebebiri 1, has eulogised his elder brother, Chief Capt. Francis Soroaye, for stepping into the shoes of his earthly father to train him to become what he is in life.

The General Overseer of Heroes City, who has also added the title of 'Mayor' to his identity, made the overtures on Sunday, July 23, 2023, at his Birthday Thanksgiving service held in the church premises in Uvwian, Udu Local Council area of Delta.

"I thank God for a day such as this," Bishop Mayor Soroaye, elegantly dressed for the occasion, began his brief note of address to guests seated in the venue, and went ahead to express his delight for the shower of love he received by their trooping out en masse to celebrate with him despite other ongoing ceremonies happening around town on his birthday.

Speaking further he said that "I also acknowledge the one I call my father, who brought me to Warri in 1969. He is my elder brother, who stepped into the shoes of my father; what my father could not do, he did it for me. Maybe I could've been a local champion. But thank God he took me from the village and brought me to Warri, to my first residence No. 23 Obire Street," the celebrant added.

Bishop Soroaye thanked his elder fatherly brother for supporting him through his academic career and for believing in him.

During the testimony session, the elder Chief Soroaye, who said he was happy seeing the Bishop become a fulfilled man in life, confessed that Bishop Soroaye was a very clever student and also one that didn't caused him any trouble during his stay with him.

He thanked God for what He has done in the life of his younger brother and also prayed for God's blessings upon the life of the celebrant, whom he described as a man with a large heart.

The celebrant received various gifts and special prayers from well-wishers in attendance, including an assorted variety of birthday packaged present from the youths of CASI assembly.
