Adding that the role of women puts them in a unique position, to be able to mother all who come their way. Since the involvement of women in church activities go a long way.

She said women can change this country. If truly know God and are walking with him then we should bring up our children in the knowledge of Christ and impact the moral values to them. Then they would grow up to become responsible citizens.

She said if we are walking in the Holy Spirit we should love the word of God and therefore share it with others because the gospel is the answer to the ailing society that we live in. So if the gospel reaches everybody and they come to accept the Lord, their lives would be changed and they would begin to also walk with God, live in love and in truth.

Mrs. Amissah Arthur said as Christian women we have been blessed with diverse gifts. Which The Lord wants us to use these gifts to help others in serving the Lord in our various capacities as women in the church in order to bring glory to the Lord.

She said God would continue to bless them as they continue to donate to hospitals ,orphanages, schools , institutions ,and witch camps etc ,with the objective to put smiles on the faces of the sick ,deprived communities and especially children who find themselves in orphanages’ through no fault of theirs would not go down unrewarded.

Rev. Mrs. Edith Adoblosu-Kuhlor, further stated that social media is doing more harm than good and condemned those using it for other purposes, she also touched on the indecent language and profane utterances on the television and radio where they insult the President and those in authority, lies and defamation of character circulated on twitter, Facebook etc,describing it as something that would not do our children any good as Christian mothers. So the need to condemn it .and rather leave a good legacy for our children.
