He urged other individuals and corporate bodies to emulate the gesture of Madam Bemmah's children.

He said Dr Duh and Herman Duh had made earlier donations totalling about 23 million cedis towards the construction of the one billion-cedi chapel complex with the support of friends and philanthropists of the Highlands Presbyterian Church in Dayton where they fellowship and two million cedis from Mrs Sallie Shelton Culver of Dayton Beach.
