Speaking to PENGlobal Community, the Archbishop Tonfawei thanked the Gbaramatu people for their prayers and support towards the achievement of the significant and spiritual milestone.

The spiritual leader of the Dominion Zion Ministry, also known as the Land of Dominion, Fia Fia Zion, pledged to intensify his efforts in preaching peace and winning more souls for the kingdom of God through a vigorous campaign especially in the riverine areas.

"First, I thank the Almighty God for what He has done and to the Gbaramatu people for their support.

"My message to the people is that they should hold their God firmly because without God, life is vanity. They should serve God very well, do good, and focus on His Word.

Speaking on what the people should expect on his being conferred as Archbishop, he said, "As Archbishop I have to go to every corner in the creeks to preach the Word of God and to make them understand the Word of God, as well as to win more souls for God's Kingdom."

While also addressing issues of exploitation and misconception about Christianity, the Archbishop Tonfawei stressed, "Christianity is not a way of exploiting people for money but it is a reality. Heaven is real, Hell is real. It is my duty to also make peace and to let people understand that God exists."
