Agona Abodom (C/R), Sept 02, GNA – A 10-day Peace Prayer International Convention being organised by the Mathapoly Church International (MCI), former Musama Church International ended at Agona Abodom in the Agona West Municipality of the Central region on Monday.
Speaking to the media at Agona Abodom, Reverend Francis Owusu, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Church, said it was an annual festival organised to bring together all members both in Ghana and in the diaspora to propagate the gospel of the Lord God.
The 2025 peace prayer convention, under the theme: ‘’Trusting the Lord with all your heart,’ started on Friday August 22, with participants drawn from Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, UK, Benin and other African countries attend the 10 days International Peace Prayer Convention.
Rev Owusu said last year’s convention was used to pray for peace to prevail before, during and after the 2024 elections with caution to the youth to desist from acts of violence that could trigger war or conflicts.
He admonished the youth to distance themselves from all forms acts that could bring catastrophic consequences in their lives soon and not rush to look for money or attempt to get rich overnight by foul means.
Rev Owusu said the youth as the future leaders, must work to earn quality living, through skills training and called for assistance to establish their workshops and to create job opportunities for others after their training to reduce the unemployment situation.
The PRO said the church would pray for the country to sustain its peaceful environment, adding that the rampant motor accidents and other calamities happening in the country needed to be prevented for the nation to thrive economically and socially.
Prophet Ewusi Duku X, Chairman of Peace Prayer Convention, said the convention had chalked100 years and there was the need for the members of MCI to celebrate it to adore the power and authority of the Lord God.
Prophet Duku cautioned the youth against using the superhighway, especially the AI to dupe people.
