Sister Cecilia Marfo and Brother Clement Kofi Yeboah Adupidie

Afienya
Beloved,
This is to remind you that for a period of time the Area Executive Committee met with you on the issue of you operating a private prayer camp / centre. The church was concerned about it because it is the policy of the church to train all existing prayer centre leaders to conform to the laws of Ghana, follow Scripture and to be very ethical in their operations.

In view of this, the church discourages the opening of new prayer centres and directs members with such propensities to operate in the church under the supervision of a pastor. The church is very concern about the operations of some individual camps and the mayhem that they cause. Against this backdrop the church had wanted to help you come under its coverage.

Nonetheless, all efforts to make you rescind your decision to go private and to agree to operate in the church was not heeded to. You also refused to meet the Area Executive Committee on some days agreed on. In view of this, the Area Presbytery has no option but to take the following measures in order to help you reconsider your decision.

1. You shall henceforth not be allowed to operate on any of the Church's platform

2. You are no more under the cover of the Church's umbrella

It is our prayer that the Lord will be with you and help you. You are always welcome to come back for a dialogue.

Yours in His Vineyard,
Original signed
N. A. O. Amegatcher (Apostle)
