Some of the items donated to the Sunyani Prisons

The Young Peoples’ Guild (YPG) of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Resurrection Congregation in Sunyani, has donated to the building of a chapel for the Sunyani Prisons. 

The donation amounting to over GHC 2, 000 included toiletries, bags of sachet water, medical supplies, bag of maize, second hand clothing and two trips of sand [for the building of the chapel].

This forms part of the church’s social responsibilities in ensuring it goes to the aid of those in need.

Presenting the items on behalf of the Guild, the Resident/District Minister of the church, Rev. Kwadwo Asamoah told the inmates that the items donated to them were just physical and that what they needed the most was to feed their souls with the Word of God.

He said the inmates should “never lose hope no matter the situation or circumstances that brought you here. Repent, if you have not, and look up to the King of Kings because He is the only one to take you out of this situation.”

Speaking on behalf of the Guild, the group’s President, Kwabena Owusu Munufie told Aniwaba that the visit fulfilled the theme of their youth evangelism programmed dubbed “When the Holy Spirit Moves.” 

ASP Rev. Gideon Ndebugri, who received the items on behalf of the inmates, thanked the Young Peoples’ Guild for their kind gesture and said they came at the time they needed them [items] most particularly the trips of sand for the construction of the chapel. 

“This will go a long way for us to progress in the building of the Sunyani Prisons' Chapel and I pray that other benevolent groups should emulate this example," he said.
