Zion Community Church International in collaboration with Frontier Missions Network has handed over two boreholes fitted with hand pump valued at GH¢ 40, 000 to Buopuonkoraa and Nyanyama- Nakpal communities in the Sawla-Tuna- Kalba District of the Savannah Region.
The facilities are expected to serve more than 1,000 residents of the two communities and beyond with potable drinking water and reduce time spent by women in fetching water from the stream.
The founder and overseer of the church Rev. Apostle Dr. Moses Sansah Konjon, said the church is interested in developing both the social and spiritual welfare of its members as well as their immediate community.
With funding from Frontier Missions Network Rev. Sansah, explained that the boreholes would ensure that residents were not stranded at the stream in their communities.
Inaugurating the facilities on Friday, August 14, 2020, the founder and overseer of the church, Apostle Sansah said “the gospel is not only about the spiritual welfare, it also concerns itself with the physical dimension of its adherents, to meet their most felt social needs”.
Apostle Sansah, intimated that partnering government to provide the needs of the people was another way of preaching the gospel and showing people how to be benevolent and merciful towards the needs of others.
For his part, Buopuon Yirlo, a leader of Buopuonkoraa, commended the church for its active role in the development of the District as he said” since the existence of this community we have never tasted a portable water as we compete with our animals at the stream for water”.
Residents of the two beneficiary communities especially the women thanked the man of God for his unflinching support in providing them with portable drink water as they sang and danced to the admiration of all.
The church and its Network has since drilled over 35 boreholes in the Sawla- Tuna- Kalba District of the Savannah Region.
