Pastor J. K. Koranteng, in-charge of the Nyanyano/Kasoa District, urged them to stay blameless and wait for the second coming of Christ, who will come to exalt and crown the righteous for their good work done. He said righteousness is the yardstick, which was preached and ignored in the days of Noah in the biblical history, when sinners were destroyed by the famous flood, saying that, still mankind including Christians take the second coming of Jesus as a joke.

Pastor Koranteng added that, they must not allow themselves to be misled.

He charged, "go remain righteous and God will bless you and together with your descendants have divine protection wherever you may be". About 32 converts had water baptism.
