According to P.M. News, six of the 20 pastors received pastors received awards for Excellence while 14 others bagged awards for Fruitfulness.
The retired pastors also got plaques and some undisclosed amount of money for their meritorious service.
It was gathered that the church also gave Long Service award to some of its pastors who have put in 20 years and more years to the work of God. Boniface Okenwa, a regional pastor was among the beneficiaries.
Meanwhile, Adeboye has advised his pastors not to break their fast with solid food. He told them that pap is best for breaking fast, noting that, it takes a while for the body to begin to absorb solid food.
The advice may not be unconnected with the incident of breakdown of some pastors who had consumed solid food after fasting for days.
