President John Mills who was handed the microphone by the M.C amid joy and a deep sense of belonging emphasized that there is nothing too hard for God to do, we must always trust and obey. The President used to worship with the LIC in his university days.
‘’my brothers and sisters in Christ a joyous occasion such as this, it is important that one goes home, this is home for me, this is where it all started and it is important that from time to time I come to get spiritual strength and God’s blessings.’’ President Mills said
Both pastors and members of the congregation were very excited at seeing the president of the republic of Ghana visit his roots, to most of them the professor they know had not changed, he is still the very simple, humble, God fearing and an honest and caring man they knew.
‘’The Lord has risen and that gives us hope, courage and strength to go on because the end is attainable.’’ He stated.
