In his charge to the newly inducted Moderator’s Representative, Rt. Rev. Miki Hans Abia drew from biblical imagery, urging Rev. Ngongan to serve with humility, devotion, and total dependence on God. 

“I charge you, go and feed the flock of God,” the Moderator declared. “Do your work as a servant and steward of God’s holy mysteries with eagerness and devotion, not trusting in your own strength, but hoping in Him whom you serve.”

The Moderator further called on Christians of the North West Region to receive, support, and pray for their new leader, stressing that the success of his ministry would depend on collective commitment and unity. He described the appointment not only as a responsibility for Rev. Ngongan, but also a call to example for PC Bamenda Station and the entire Mezam Presbytery.
