Preaching from the book of Exodus 4:10-17, Rev Nta William Nche, PCC National Peace Coordinator stressed on the need for all and sundry to join the PCC in the crusade for true Peace and Justice.

Celebrating this year under the theme “Recovering better for a Sustainable and Equitable World”, the PCC Peace crusaders used yesterday’s launching to remind the Christians and population of the North West region to put aside fear and embrace Peace for a better North West region and Cameroon.

In his message to all PCC Christians on the International Day of Peace, the Moderator of the PCC, Rt Rev Fonki Samuel Forba, called on the the Christians to pray for peace, sing for peace and cry for justice and peace.

The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly.
