The conference which was the flagship programme of the church was aimed at equipping participants with the word of God and praying for peace and economic stability of the nation.
Rt. Rev. Dr Kisseih appealed to Ghanaians to rally behind their leaders for national development to ensure that Ghana becomes a haven of tourist destination to generate more revenue to improve the economy.
The First Vice President of the GPCC called on students to make effective use of libraries in their communities to broaden their knowledge.

‘It is when the literacy gap is closed that we can build a community of knowledge, empowerment and equality,’ he said.
‘Library is a delivery room for the birth of ideas, knowledge and wisdom’, Rt. Rev. Dr Kisseih said adding that ‘let us all learn to read, read to learn, libraries were a repository of knowledge with solutions to many lingering questions’, he added.
