Youth For Christ to organize Easter games for churches in Ho

The Ghana Youth For Christ (YFC) wing of the Youth For Christ International is to organize Sports and Evangelism Festival for Churches in Ho, the Volta Regional capital during the Easter festivities.

Last year’s event attracted over 1,000 young people from various Churches and communities in the Ho Municipality and its environs.

Like previous festivals, this year’s event seeks to discover and develop talents in the Volta Regional capital through social interaction and cohesion among young people in the various Churches of the Municipality.

Previous Festivals led to the discovery of some soccer talents playing for lower division clubs with others in soccer academies.

The Festival scheduled for April 07 at the Ho Sports Stadium would focus on male and female soccer and volleyball events.

Reverend Jerry Hanson Wedanu, Volta Regional YFC Coordinator told GNA Sports that the 2012 event promises to be great with technical support from some volunteers from abroad.

He commended Captain George Nfodjo (rtd.), Member of Parliament for Ho Central for being the main sponsor of the event and providing trophies and jerseys as prizes for the competitions and called for more support from individuals and corporate institutions to make the Festival successful.**
