National Director of Compassion International Ghana, Kobina Yeaboh Okyere has called upon the church to be a powerful catalyst for change in Ghana's development agenda.
Mr. Yeboah Okyere emphasised the need for churches to illuminate and uplift the communities they serve.
He made the remarks at the National Pastors’ Conference, an event involving Compassion International Ghana and its over 400 local church partners.
Compassion International Ghana operates by partnering with local churches across the country to support children living in extreme poverty.
The four-day National Pastors’ Conference, held from May 20th to 24th, 2024, at the Pentecost Convention Centre, brought together over 400 church pastors.
The conference aimed to enhance the collaboration between Compassion International Ghana and local churches, focusing on their shared mission to alleviate child poverty in Jesus’ name.
Discussions included updates on Compassion International Ghana's progress and strategic action plans for strengthening partnerships with local churches.
Prominent Christian leaders attended the conference, including Rev. Dr. Enoch Nii Narh Thompson, President of the Ghana Baptist Convention, Rt. Rev. Prosper Samuel Dzomeku, Synod Moderator of the Global Evangelical Church, and Very Rev. Prof. Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu, President of Trinity Theological Seminary.
During the opening ceremony, Rev. Dr. Enoch Nii Narh Thompson reiterated the church's role as a trusted institution in society.
He urged churches to leverage this trust to drive not only spiritual growth but also the development of communities and the nation at large.
