PRAYER FOR NATION

The Elim Evangelical Church in Accra has ended its four day convention and prayer session for the nation with a call on Ghanaians to be prayerful and not allow their passions to rule them. The convention was under the theme; "There is hope for the future". Preaching the sermon, the Pastor of the Church, Rev. J.R.K. Mensah said Ghana is a blessed nation and must not turn its back to God. He advised Ghanaians to refrain from ostentatious life styles saying it does not bring spiritual progress. Rev. Mensah said the Church is going into large scale farming and the provision of schools and potable water to deprived communities as its contribution to the physical needs of the people. gri
