Help Ministry, a charity organization within the Church of Christ, has donated to its branch in Bolgatanga. The items which include 80 bags of used clothing and assorted foot wares were handed over to the church for onward distribution to needy institutions in the Upper East Region.  The donation which was made at the forecourt of the church’s branch in Bolgatanga was aimed at improving the lives of the less privileged in society. The leader of the Ministry, Pastor George Kingsley Abuga, who made the presentation, said his church was dedicated to reaching out to the poor and the needy in society. He explained that the donation was made possible through the support of benevolent committees of over 45 churches in the Accra Metropolis. He also indicated that such donations had been extended to other needy individuals. These include scholarship and educational support for brilliant but needy students, surgeries, as well as the payment of medical expenses for people with hole in heart among other special ailments.  He emphasized that his ministry was not only interested in the spiritual wellbeing of the majority, but also ensuring the empowerment of the vulnerable, the excluded and the aged. He said Christ exemplified the act of giving during his days; therefore it was incumbent on Christ followers to develop the habit of giving in order to win favour from God. Evangelist Roger Ayila, who received the items on behalf of the church thanked the Help Ministry for its sense of benevolence and appealed to other churches to emulate. In a related development, the Help Ministry donated an unspecified cash amount to the management of the Bongo Church of Christ Orphanage. The Director of the Orphanage, Pastor Adam Akurumolga, expressed his gratitude to the ministry and called for additional support in the area of feeding and the provision of beddings since most of the children sleep on the floor. Pastor Abuga pledged to forward their request to the leadership of the ministry for consideration.
