The Christ Family Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Asylum Down, Accra, will soon build a school at Dzapatra, a village located in the Adeiso District of the Eastern Region.

The village with a population of about 500 people lack basic amenities such as school, potable water, clinic or a place of convenience (toilet).

The Reverend Ofosu Gyeabour Adarkwa, Pastor in charge of the Christ Family Congregation, who made the announcement at the one year anniversary of the Salvation Preaching point, the only church in the community, called on government and other benevolent organisations to come to the aid of the community.

The Christ Family Congregation last year embarked on an evangelism mission in the village of Dzapatra and established the Salvation Preaching point, which is the only church in the community.

The Dzapatra village which has been in existence for more than 100 years is dominated by idol worship.

Rev. Gyeabour Adarkwa said “no church has been able to penetrate or send the gospel there.

“As Presbyterians we believe in training the heart, the head and the hands, we train the mind to acquire knowledge, the heart to love God and the hands to work with, so we have also decided to build a clinic and a place of convenience for the people of Dzapatra in the near future”.

Rev. Gyeabuor Adarkwa called on the government and the ‘good people of Ghana’ to join hands with the Christ Family Congregation to embark on these developmental programmes in the village.

The Dzapatra Salvation Preaching point currently has a membership of 150 comprising 60 adults and 90 children.

The Young People Guilders (YPG) of the Victory Presbyterian Church, Kwashiebu has donated assorted relief items to the Rising Star Orphanage Home at Dodowa in the Eastern Region.

The items included boxes of drinks, cartoons of milk, tins of milo, sugar, biscuits, baby food, four boxes of noodles, 10 bags of sachet water and gallons of oil.

The also included were bags of gari, beans, maize, two buckets of detergent, and boxes of bathing and washing soap.

A statement from the YPG to the Ghana News Agency noted that Mrs Antoinette Ohene Atitse, President of the YPG, said the support came from the elders of the church, who mobilised the items to improve the lives of the little orphans.

She said the exercise was undertaken with encouragement from the Church, which taught members to care for orphans and widows.

According to the statement, Madam Victory Sampson, the Founder of the Orphanage, expressed her profound gratitude to the YPG for the kind gesture.
She said overcrowding at the home made it difficult for them to accept more vulnerable children explaining that about 55 of the children slept in an old room built in 1824.

She appealed to government, corporate bodies and philanthropists to support them with housing facilities.
