Bethel Presby congregation holds an Ordination Service in Tamale

A total of ten members have been ordinated by the Bethel Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in the Northern Region. The service which saw a huge number coming to grace the occasion from all the three regions of the North, was led by Rt. Rev. Emmanuel Martey and Assisted by Rev. Dr. Samuel Ayetey-Nyampong. The Presbyterian Church has been known in recent time for being an active partner of successful government in nation building. To both its members and the general public, it has provided Education and Health care delivery and also done more in Agricultural to ensure food security especially in most deprived communities in the country. In an address presented on behalf of the Regional Minister, Alhaji Haruna Limuna, leaders of the church were urged to consider not only the spiritual aspect in preaching the gospel but also the material and temporal needs of the ordinary Ghanaian such as food, water, schools and health facilities to supplement Governments efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The minister stated factors that brought about conflicts especially land and chieftaincy issues. He finally urged all to give peace a chance for various developments in the region.
