Tumu, (UW/R), Feb. 24, GNA – Pastor Amedekah Meshack, of the Tumu Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church, of the Upper West Administrative Field Unit (UWAFU), has called on Christians to prioritize supporting the most vulnerable members of society, especially children and the underprivileged.
He said there was need for Christians to create a congenial environment for such people to feel loved and support them to live an independent and good life.
“We must show love and care to these children, and support them to live independent and fulfilling lives,” he stressed.
Pastor Amedekah who gave the advice after a Sabbath School Worship service held at the children’s ward of the Tumu Municipal Hospital, emphasized the importance of creating a supportive environment for those in need.
The church donated items, including water, toilet rolls, soap, and biscuits, to support the well-being of the children at the hospital.
Pastor Amedekah pointed out that prayers and support from Christians could give hope and opportunities to several disadvantaged children in society, who have been calling on God to help them out in their present state of difficulties.
On the rationale behind the donation, Pastor Amedekah explained that the donation was motivated by the church’s commitment to spreading the love of God and following Jesus’ teachings to care for the needy and the sick.
He quoted Matthew 25:35-46, emphasizing the importance of showing compassion and kindness to those in need.
He said, it was in this regard that the church recognized the need to put smiles on the faces of these children.
“I believe our little support and prayers would be a blessing of healing to these little children as we all wait for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”, he said.
Pastor Amedekah Meshack, thanked the leaders and other church members for making the programme a success.
Mr Elvis Zakpalah Dery, the in charge of the children’s ward who received the items thanked the church for their generosity and that the donation would bring joy and hope to the patients.
“These patients need food, water and soap, so when people come to donate items, we are grateful”, he added.
He appealed to organizations, individuals, NGOs, and other churches to emulate the Seventh Day Adventist Church’s gesture and support the hospital.
