Prayer festival of Global Evangelical Church opens

Reverend Prince Tefe, Senior Clerk of Accra Presbytery of the Global Evangelical Church, has reiterated the need for Ghanaians to observe environmental cleanliness to ensure they stayed healthy all the time.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness, he said, and that the surest way of eliminating the cholera outbreak was to keep our environment clean.

Rev. Tefe was speaking at the opening of this year’s Prayer Festival of the church at Oyibi in the Kpone-Katamanso District of the Greater Accra Region on Thursday.

The four-day festival, on the theme; “Walking with God the Holy Spirit,” is aimed at taking stock of the past year, realise their shortcomings and intensify their efforts for development.

It is also aimed at praying for peace and stability of the nation and the well-being of the participants.

Rev. Tefe charged the youth to be innovative and be led by the Holy Spirit and also desist from engaging in internet fraud and other forms of social vices.

He said the church, as part of its social responsibility, had opened orphanages in some parts of the country and expressed the hope that more of such orphanages would be opened.

Rev. Tefe urged drivers to avoid driving under the influence of alcohol to ensure an accident-free yuletide.

He charged religious leaders to be led by the spirit of God and preach His unadulterated word.

Rev Tefe was hopeful that at the end of the festival, participants would be filled with the Holy Spirit to promote the word of God.

Rev. Mawuli Agudogo, Presbytery Clerk, in his welcoming address, urged the churches to play leadership roles by giving bible-based teachings.

He appealed to religious leaders to use the pulpit to educate their members on government policies and programmes.
