Pastor Obeng Boateng presenting the items to Gladys Mensah, Senior Head Girl of the Dzorwulu Special School
THE YOUTH WING of the Pure Fire Miracles Ministries International, an Accra-based deliverance church, has donated assorted food items to the Dzorwulu Special School.
They have also made similar donations to inmates at the Senior Correctional Centre of the Ghana Prisons Service (GPS) as part of their humanitarian activities aimed at putting smiles on the faces of the needy within the Ghanaian society.
The items, worth thousands of Ghana cedis, included rice, sugar, milk, toiletries, cartons of Indomie, biscuits, fruit drinks, among others.
In a brief sermon before the presentation of the items to the Borstal Home on Saturday in Accra, the youth pastor of Pure Fire Miracles Ministries International, Pastor Obeng Boateng, said the church thought it wise to render help to the needy in accordance with the teaching of Mathew 25: 35 of the Bible which urges all Christians to help their comrades who are in need.
Pastor Boateng prayed that the sins of the inmates who have been taken to the centre for various offences be forgiven, hoping that they begin to lead a Christ-centered life.
Inspiring them to move on with their lives, he told them (inmates) that in spite of their wrong-doings, God still loves them, thus there was the need for them to give their lives to Him.
'There is life, there is hope, there is Jesus,' the man of God assured the inmates, while urging them not to lose hope but to rather believe in God for a brighter future.
He also used the occasion to preach against instant justice, appealing to all and sundry within the Ghanaian society to always remember not to take the law into their own hands.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Regional Commander for the Greater Accra Prisons Service, Chris Larbi, ASP Mabel Norve, thanked the church for the benevolent gesture, signaling that the donation was timely and that it would go a long way to meet the needs of the centre.
