The Church of Pentecost has donated food items, detergents, toiletries and bottled water worth GH₵30,000 to about 150 people with disabilities in Agorve, near Akatsi, in Ghana’s Volta Region.
The beneficiaries included people from Akatsi and nearby Gbalixome. Professor Augustina Naami, a national executive committee member of the church’s Ministry to Persons with Disabilities, said the ministry would continue providing resources to help people with disabilities play active and productive roles in society.
Persons with disabilities are also children of God, and they deserve salvation.
“Persons with disabilities are also children of God, and they deserve salvation,” Naami said. She urged churches and their members to seek out people with disabilities and make sure they participate fully in church activities.
Let us always look for them and ensure they participate fully in church activities.
Pastor Prosper Kpeli, who leads the Church of Pentecost’s Agorve District, said practical love for humanity represented love for God. He said the church should follow Christ’s example of treating people without discrimination and would maintain its commitment to helping people with disabilities.
Kwashi Vigbedor, speaking for the beneficiaries, thanked the ministry and described the donation as deeply touching.
This is because PWDs are an integral part of society, like all of us.
