Tamale, April 14, GNA - It is only by living deeper Christian life and adhering to the values of Christianity that the Ghanaian society could be transformed to foster peace, unity and progress to the country, a Pastor of the Deeper Life ministries has said. Pastor Francis Fosu, Regional Overseer of the Northern Region Deeper Life Bible Church, said following the footsteps of Christ and obeying the word of God would bring about the much-needed transformation and the end to conflicts and moral decadence in society. He said this in his Good Friday message to Ghanaians at a retreat organised by the Church in Tamale on Friday.

He said if people were genuinely committed to Christianity, there would be no immorality and sinful acts such as fornication and that this would help reduce the spread of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the country. Pastor Fosu urged Ghanaians and Christians in particular to strive to know God better to enable them overcome their problems, adding that just as Christ died on the cross and rose again, "so will Christians overcome all problems facing them". He asked Christians to reflect on their lives and rededicate themselves to the service of God and humanity. 14 April 06
