The 22nd National Women Convention of St. Joseph's Chosen Church of God taking place at Umuahia, capital of Abia state has started beautifully with great responses in attendance and actions. The convention officially started on Wednesday July 24, 2024 with the meeting of the Ministers wives which was Chaired by the Gobal President, Dr. (Mrs.) Patience N. Alile In her opening address, Dr. Alile thanked God for another pleasant season for the women fellowship convention. She reminded them of the Theme of the convention which is "VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN FAMILY." On this note she was very sure that despite the global economic hardship, the christian families will always remain victorious through the "endless mercy, grace, love, provision, protection, guidance, healing, miraculous works of every one." At this juncture she went into praises in song to the Almighty God, singing "what a marvelous God, He has done marvelous things for us ...." This wasa responded to with seven times thunderous shout of Hallelujah by the members present. She reiterated that no two conventions are the same and for this reason, she looked forward that the 22nd Convention will be of a great difference. She said "therefore there is evidence that this year convention is going to be more wonderful than any we had experienced in the past. Be very ready to gather and go home with bags of blessings for you and for every member of your family." In a serious warning to the women, the global President admonished them not to shake no matter the situation as their families should become strong

gateway to heaven as the mission statement of the church. She said that they should "please be at alert and attentive. Open up your heart. All;ow God to have His way in you so that you will leave here a renewed person that will go home and rebrand your homes." Using Proverb 14:1, she says that a wise woman builds her home. That a christian woman should maitain and build her home. Finally she prayed for the state governor Dr Otti Alex, the Spiritual Leader Dr Sampson Ogbu as they look forward to receiving him very soon.
