The journey has not been easy, there have been many hurdles along the way but God has turned every challenge into a blessing.” She said.
She further revealed that over the years, the Union has faced several false reports suggesting it was collapsing, which occasionally led to panic withdrawals. Despite these challenges, the Union has remained strong, serving its members faithfully for three decades.
