Fruitful Life Chapel International, Ghana
Chapter has rounded up activities marking its 11th anniversary
celebration with a donation of assorted food items to inmate of God’s Love Orphanage
in Bolgatanga.
They presented bags of maize, sugar, rice, cartons of milk as
well as detergents and other toiletries.
General Overseer of the church,
Prophet Kwao Dadzie said it has always been the interest of the church as
Christ believers to see to the comfort of the poor and destitute.
He observed
that the lives of many children especially orphans and those from broken homes
are endangered because they are often left to their fate instead of providing
for their welbeing.
He expressed the belief that if children are not rightfully
nurtured to become responsible adults, they will eventually pose a threat to
society, hence the need to care for the poor and the needy.
The Bolgatanga branch of the Fruitful Life
Chapel International, which is the headquarters of the church in Ghana has over
the past six years adopted the option of reaching out to poor and destitute
children with the view to reducing their vulnerability.
Aside its core mandate of winning souls for
Christ through evangelism, the church has made it an annual ritual to restore
hope in poor and vulnerable children as part of its humanitarian outreach
services.
The church which currently has two branches in the country believes
that bringing salvation to unbelievers is not the only way to please God but it
was also important to do His will by showing love and compassion to those that
are in need.
The donation was to therefore renew the church’s commitment to
serving mankind. Presenting the items on behalf of the entire congregation, the
General Overseer of the Fruitful Life Chapel, Prophet Kwao Dadzie, reaffirmed
the desire of the church to promote social inclusion through its benevolence.
The
donation, he noted, was for a worthy cause and that such a gesture will go a
long way to sustain the livelihood of the inmates most of whom are born of
women with mental illness.
Prophet Dadzie, however called on corporate bodies
and well-meaning Ghanaians to develop the habit of giving to the poor.
God’s Love Orphanage, a subsidiary of God’s
Love Ministry works through the support of individuals and institutions and has
since its inception in 2008 grown to become one of the recognized public
institutions in the region.
Children brought to the home are mostly
malnourished children who are identified, monitored and adopted to the orphanage
with the support of the Department of Social Welfare.
Those, that are able to
recover from their predicaments are made to integrate back to their families
when identified. Mr Francis Akampoi, is
the caretaker.
He thanked the church for the gesture and called for more of
such support.
A staff of GBC and a Reverend Minister from
the Upper West branch of the church, Rev. Simon Tie, told Radio Ghana that the donation
was to demonstrate the church’s commitment to bringing smiles on the faces of
vulnerable children as a way of giving back to the community. The, move he
added was intended to bring relief to the beneficiary children who through no
fault of theirs are neglected.
