Addressing the Convention, The Reverend J.K. Addai, Senior Pastor of the Church, urged women to stop devoting all their time, energy and resources to the celebration of funerals rather than propagating the gospel of Christ.

He asked women to Endeavour to train their children well, especially the girl-child so that they would grow up to hold key positions in society in future.

"The truth has fallen down in the streets of Ghana and it is incumbent on the Christendom to rise up to reverse the trend in the upcoming end-time" he said. The Senior Pastor said that Jesus Christ was the truth and the way, and that it was therefore significant for the Christians to follow the steps of the Savour of the World to enable them to become ambassadors to spread the gospel. Nana Obokuma Atta IV, Chief of Gomoa Dasum who was Specially Guest at the function, advised the women to exhibit habits that would portray them as truthful members of MDCC.

Mrs Cecilia Arthur, National President of the Women Ministry, said the leadership had taken the responsibilities to inculcate into the women the word of God and home management, to enable them to cater for their children. She said when the women accept the word of God they would be in a position to train their children well to become responsible adults in future.

The National President said the women had been offered training in the areas of soap making, batik tie and dye, and book keeping among others, to help improve their income and support their children's education. The Leadership of the Women Ministry donated food items, bed sheets and pillow cases worth 500 Ghana Cedis to the Agona Swedru Government Hospital as part of the social responsibility of the Church.
