Archdeacon Gideon Uzomechina and Bishop Jack Lumanog

Bishop Jack Lumanog and The Anglican Diocese of St. Ignatius Loyola proudly congratulate Archdeacon Gideon Uzomechina on his recent nomination by the Federal Republic of Nigeria National Assembly Joint Committee on Drugs and Narcotics for the prestigious Voice of Global Compassion Award. This well-deserved recognition highlights Archdeacon Uzomechina’s tireless commitment to supporting the vulnerable and making a global impact on substance addiction recovery.

Letter of Nomination received by Archdeacon Gideon Uzomechina by the Nigerian Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Representatives on Drugs and Narcotics.

Archdeacon Uzomechina has passionately extended his mission to communities in the United States, Nigeria, Pakistan, and beyond, providing care, resources, and support to those struggling with addiction. His core mission of compassion and healing crosses national and cultural boundaries, embodying the heart of Christian ministry to serve “the least of these.” His outreach has inspired many to support the cause of a drug-free society, empowering individuals to overcome addiction and reclaim their lives.

When notified of the nomination, Archdeacon Uzomechina expressed his heartfelt gratitude and curiosity, asking how the committee became familiar with his global mission. He learned that two individuals attending the committee meetings shared testimonies about his remarkable work and dedication. This powerful affirmation of his ministry’s reach affirms the vital role he plays in international substance addiction recovery efforts.

Archdeacon Uzomechina is honored and grateful to the Nigerian National Assembly’s Joint Committee for this recognition, and he looks forward to further collaborations that can strengthen the mission of helping youth and families build a drug-free future. This nomination is not only a testament to his efforts but a call for all of us to support transformative change in communities worldwide.

Please join us in praying for Archdeacon Uzomechina as he continues his mission, and let us rally behind him as he seeks a representative to stand in his place at the award ceremony in Abuja.

Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam – to the greater glory of God!
