"This elevation is not a departure but a rebirth. I will never stop preaching and will continue to minister. This moment isn't an ending, it's an expansion. We are not only passing a mantle we are multiplying impact. Leadership is not static, it is dynamic. It demands the courage to evolve."

Pastor Touré said that he and Pastor Sarah “are committed to building a ministry that carries the heart of Bishop Jakes into a future that is both faithful and forward-thinking," Pastor Sarah added, "This is not just a call to serve. It's a mandate to lead with compassion, clarity, and courage."
