Sekondi, Sept. 8, GNA – Mr Kwabena Okyere
Darko-Mensah, the Western Regional Minister, has called on churches to continue
to train and educate the youth on moral values to enable them to become
responsible adults in future.
He said the church, over the years, had
given hope to many depressed and weary individuals and such hope, aspiration
and Godly living were more critical in the current dispensation.
Mr Darko-Mensah was speaking at the 120th
Anniversary celebration of the Methodist Guild Ghana, on the theme: “Go
and Make them my Disciples of all Nations”.
He said the command of discipleship was not
an option but a must to every Christian, both in word and in deed, as a
stop-gap to the many ill behaviours in society.
Mr Darko-Mensah said the Methodist Church,
with its population and as one of the oldest churches in Ghana, must not renege
on its efforts at training and producing good Christians who would influence
the world positively.
He, therefore, urged the Guild members to be
law abiding, work hard and create jobs among themselves to be able to support
the growth and development of the Church.
Mr Jonathan K. Bassaw, the National Guild
President, who welcomed the more than 750 delegates to the conference, urged
them to improve on the teaching ministries for the benefit of the Methodist
Guild.
GHe said He said the Guild was one of the
intergenerational organisations of the Methodist Church mobilizing the youth
and adults for church activities and leadership.
He said the Guild had served the Church for
the past 120 years and lauded the contributions of each member towards the
Church’s development.
