Let us protect orphans in society - Rev. Kwei

Accra, Nov. 25, GNA - Reverend Godsend Kwei, Pastor of Tema Community One Apostolic Church on Saturday appealed to Christians to care for orphans in society as part of their Christian duties. He said "There are three categories of people in society so dear to God who should not be ignored by Christians. They are orphans, widows and the poor."

Rev Kwei made the appeal at a fundraising ceremony organised by Orphanage International Ministry (OIM), a Christian non-governmental organization aimed at leading orphans in society to Jesus Christ. Rev Samuel Afari, Founder of OIM said the fundraising was to generate funds to organise Christmas parties for orphans in the country on Sunday December 10.

He said orphans who came into contact with OIM were taught to be spiritually an d morally confident and self-supporting to fit into society. Rev Afari said OIM was currently supporting 40 orphans in schools nationa-wide. Mrs Nana Abena Kwakyi, Director of Morning Star School in Accra, reminded Ghanaians that it was more blessed to give than to receive. Certificate of recognition were given to three orphans two of them in tertiary institutions and a caterer. 25 Nov. 06
