Accra, July 21, GNA – The Bantama Central Assembly of Christ Apostolic Church International has donated relief items worth GHC200,000 to charitable institutions in Kumasi and its missionary field in the Upper East Region.
The items, presented on Sunday, included foodstuffs, toiletries, footwear and assorted clothing.
Beneficiaries were Kumasi Children’s Home, Edwenase Rehabilitation Centre, Rhema Rehabilitation Centre and the Ashanti Bekwai Destitute Infirmary.
A statement issued to the Ghana News Agency said the donation formed part of activities marking the climax of the Church’s 40‑Day Fasting and Prayer programme, held under the theme “Gifted for Greater Exploits” from Daniel 11:32b.
Apostle George Awuku Morklar, Ashanti Central Territorial Head of the Church, said the gesture reflected the belief that Christian faith must be demonstrated through acts of compassion and service.
“The Church is called not only to preach the Gospel but also to meet the needs of society. We believe that the gifts God has given us should be used to transform lives and bring hope to the needy,” he said.
The Church also donated footwear and 50 bales of clothing to its missionary area in Garu‑Tempane to support deprived communities.
A representative of the Bekwai Destitute Infirmary, receiving the items on behalf of the institutions, expressed gratitude.
“We are deeply grateful to the leadership and members of Bantama Central Assembly for remembering the vulnerable in society.
“These items will sustain many of our inmates and bring hope to people who depend on the support of benevolent organisations for their daily needs,” he said.
The donation formed part of the Church’s annual outreach programme aimed at supporting vulnerable groups and strengthening missionary work.
The event was attended by ministers, elders, church members, representatives of beneficiary institutions and members of the public.
The presentation was supported by the Bantama Area of the Church, Apostle Christopher Kwabena Narh; retired Apostle S. C. K. Akomeah; former General Elder Stephen Oduro Kwarteng; and Presiding Elder of Bantama Central Assembly, Elder Michael Asare.
