Wenchi: Church honours 20 girls for keeping their virginity

Over the weekend, 20 girls were honored by the Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDA) Wenchi West District of the Mid-West Ghana Conference in the Bono Region for maintaining and retaining their virginity.

During a Thanksgiving service performed at Wenchi as part of the celebration of the first Sabbath Day of the Church, each of the 13–16-year-old girls received an undisclosed amount of money for their maintenance.

The Young Adventist Women Ministries' Wenchi West District Coordinator, Mrs. Nana Amponsah Poku, praised the girls for maintaining their virginity and advised them to do so before getting married.

“God created you uniquely beautiful, and you must not allow anybody to lure and break your virginity until you marry," she urged the girls and asked them to be cautious about the friends they picked in 2025.

In addition to praising the girls for their admirable example of maintaining their virginity, Pastor Andrews Dua Bour Kyere, the Associate Pastor of the SDA Church's Wenchi West District, encouraged girls in the Church to stay "pure" and focus on their education.
