Accra, March 8, GNA – Rev. Mrs. Patricia Akpene Tegbe-Agbo, National Coordinator of the Women’s Ministry of the Global Evangelical Church (GEC), has called on women to boldly proclaim the message of Christ and live lives that reflect faith, compassion and integrity.
She said women of faith had an important responsibility to influence families, churches and communities positively while preparing the world for the second coming of Christ.
Rev. Mrs. Tegbe-Agbo made the call in a message to mark the International Women’s Day, celebrated globally on March 8 each year.
The day celebrates the achievements of women while reflecting on their role in advancing social, economic and spiritual development.
Rev. Mrs. Tegbe-Agbo congratulated women across Ghana and members of the Global Evangelical Church worldwide for their strength, resilience and invaluable contributions to society and the Christian faith.
She noted that the celebration also provided an opportunity for women to reflect on their divine calling and responsibilities in shaping the future.
“God has entrusted women with influence in families, churches, communities and nations. Through our voices, actions and faith, we shape the future and nurture generations,” she said.
Rev. Mrs. Tegbe-Agbo said the theme of the church’s women ministry, “Preach Christ and His Second Coming,” served as a reminder of the sacred mission of Christian women in a world facing uncertainty, conflicts and moral challenges.
According to her, the message of Christ remained the greatest source of hope for humanity, urging women to rise with courage and conviction to proclaim the love, salvation and lordship of Jesus Christ.
She explained that preaching Christ went beyond sermons delivered from the pulpit, stressing that Christian women must also demonstrate their faith through their daily conduct.
“Our homes, workplaces, markets, schools and communities must become places where the light of Christ shines through our compassion, integrity, service and unwavering faith,” she said.
Rev. Mrs. Tegbe-Agbo further urged women to remind the world of the promise of Christ’s second coming, which she described as a source of hope that should inspire believers to live holy and purposeful lives.
“This glorious hope should inspire us to serve faithfully, live righteous lives and prepare others for His return,” she said.
She encouraged women of the Global Evangelical Church and Ghana to remain steadfast in their faith and continue to play their roles in nurturing families, supporting communities and advancing the mission of the church.
Rev. Mrs. Tegbe-Agbo said women’s voices and contributions were essential to spiritual and social transformation.
“Your voice matters, your ministry matters and your witness matters,” she stated.
She prayed for strength and divine guidance for women to fulfil their God-given responsibilities.
Rev. Mrs. Tegbe-Agbo urged women to remain united in faith and commitment to spreading the message of Christ to the world.
She also wished all women a meaningful International Women’s Day celebration.
