The Reverend Dr G.A. Dadzaa, Director of the Ga Presbytery Bible School, has decried the little attention given to evangelism, which he described as the livewire of the church. He said, “a major problem is that most congregations have not yet oriented themselves to appreciate the need to train more lay people for the building of God's Kingdom in our communities and beyond".
Speaking at the fourth graduation ceremony of the Ga Presbytery Bible School at the weekend, Rev. Dadzaa said the more hands they trained the more the Jesus' command ‘go and make disciples of all nations’ was fulfilled. The School was graduating 28 people; 15 males and 13 females within the Ga Presbyterian churches to help to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ within the Church, the nation and the world as a whole.
Rev. Dr. A.A. Akrong, a Senior Research Fellow of the University of Ghana, said choosing to be a church leader was a challenging task that needed humility, sacrifice and discipline. Delivering a sermon on: "Challenges of discipleships today"; Rev. Akrong said only effective teaching and instruction in the faith could stem the rising moral decadence and indiscipline in the Ghanaian society.
He urged the Graduates to take up the challenge to evangelize and nurture Christians wherever they found themselves to help to correct the wrong doctrines preached by some men of God and also to infuse holiness into the society. "Be cautious of the fact that you have been called to redeem the meek in society," he said.
Rev. Dr N.A. Kpobi, Chairperson of the Ga Presbytery, congratulated the Graduates for taking up the task to be disciples of the gospel. Each graduate was given a Bible and a certificate.
