Preacher Daniel Avumatsodo, of the Church of Christ in the Bole District of the Savannah Region has called on churches to prioritize the spiritual and physical well-being of the poor and underprivileged in society.
He said there was a need for churches to create a congenial environment for such people to feel loved and support them to live an independent and good life.
The preacher made the call after the church donated 7 bags of maize to about 40 aged women in the church at Sawla.
The maize donated worth GHS7,000.00 is to support the running of their homes.
He said the church intends donating 15 bags of maize which will also benefit members in Bole and Tuna of the Church of Christ.
Preacher Daniel pointed out that prayers and support from churches could give hope and opportunities to several disadvantaged women in society, who have been calling on God to help them out of their present state of difficulties.
On the rationale behind the donation, he said, the church, recognizing the need to put smiles on the faces of vulnerable women, had decided to annually support them annually.
“We do this as an annual event to show love to these women.
We understand that at such periods, they will need people to come around to also support and encourage them.
He emphasized on the mandate of the Church in transforming society through the Word of God and supporting the underprivileged in the community.
He cited Hebrews 13: 16 Says; And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Galatians 6:10 says; Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
He called for the collaboration of all to come together and work to make a change in the lives of these underprivileged women in our communities.
