The Ghana Congress on Evangelisation (GHACOE) Women’s Ministry, a non-denominational Christian organisation, on Thursday unveiled its 40th Anniversary in Accra, on the theme: “Great is your faithfulness…We are not consumed.”
The four-day programme, which would be addressed by Dr Joyce Aryee, Founder of the Salt and Light Ministries as the Morning Devotion Speaker and Dr Lawrence Tetteh, the Founding President of the Worldwide Miracle Outreach as the Main Speaker, would host a Leadership Seminar.
Addressing a news conference organised by the Ministry, Dr Tetteh said the murder of Major Maxwell Adam, a Detachment Commander at Denkyira Buasi in the Central Region on May 29 and the recent shooting of some policemen across the country were not only unnecessary and wicked but also un-Ghanaian “especially in this time and age”.
He said Ghanaians had proven since time immemorial that they were a forgiven people, hence the need for them to come out in a massive united front to condemn such acts.
Dr Tetteh invited all to a healing crusade he was organising at Denkyira Buasi for the healing and restoration of the land.
He said the crusade that would be supported by the GHACOE Ministry would serve as a platform for Christians and other stakeholders such as the Ghana Armed Forces to join and embrace forgiveness as a core value.
He also condemned the few politicians who strived to politicise the lynching of Major Mahama by a mob at Denkyira Buasi, who mistook him for an armed robber.
Dr Tetteh described the alleged curses pronounced on the community by a section of the clergy as a miscommunication adding that “emotions have no intellect that is why I am calling for the restoration of the land”.
Mrs Comfort Lartey- Ofori, Executive Director of GHACOE said the conference would expose women on how to age gracefully and other issues about day to day living.
She said the Ministry had established a pre-school in the Volta Region, promoting maternal and newborn health and helping to combat teenage pregnancy.
Mrs Florence Engmann, the National President of body said members were supportive of women inmates at the Kumasi Prisons, helping to organise women out of the streets and keeping children in school and helping them to stay focus.
