Essikado (W/R), Sept. 27, GNA - Leaders of
Christian organisations have been urged to
promote peace as a prime responsibility for
their members in the upcoming elections in
December.
The Very Reverend Joseph Ignatius Boabeng,
Superintendent Minister in charge of the
Essikado Circuit of the Methodist Church, said
it was time the various religious leaders took
practical steps in the quest for peace and unity
particularly among the various political
parties, rather than just talk about it.
He said this at a crusade to climax the 25th
anniversary celebrations of the Church at
Essikado near Sekondi on Friday, on the theme:
“Rescue the perishing”.
Rev Boabeng said it was imperative upon
Christians to lead exemplary lives in their
communities.
The Church, he said, had to intensify its
evangelism and membership drive to give more
people the opportunity to know and receive Jesus
Christ as their Saviour.
Bible quiz, fun games and bible studies among
the various organizations within the circuit,
were some of the activities organised to mark
the anniversary.
