Apostle Ntumy described the Prophet Yeboah, who served in the ministry for 47 years, as a Statesman and an illustrious son of Ghana who served the State without receiving any allowance.
President Kufuor said Prophet Yeboah distinguished himself and fulfilled a worthy mission in life.
He expressed regret for his inability to attend the thanksgiving service to climax the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Church in Accra because 50 years in the life of any institution was significant. President Kufuor commended the Church for its role in education and other contributions to the country and urged them to continue to improve on the spiritual and material needs of their members and society. He said with the Church establishing 54 branches word-wide and its headquarters in Ghana had made it more formidable to raise the flag of Ghana for other people to know the potentials of the country.
