Christians asked to help eliminate HIV/AIDS

Kasoa, Dec. 13, GNA- Apostle Justifier D. Korang, Superintendent Minister of the Apostolic Church, in charge of Accra 'B' Area, has called on Christians to join the national crusade against the eradication of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

"As Christians, you have to show the way first by abstaining from fornication ... to be role models for conscientising people to refrain from pre-marital sex as well as other acts that can facilitate the spread of the pandemic."

Apostle Korang who was delivering a sermon at the Kpormeitey Assembly of the church at Kasoa on Sunday asked Christians to respect authority and not to take offence when they are reprimanded for wrong acts. He said it was the responsibility of Christians to play active role in promoting unity amongst Ghanaians to ensure peace and economic progress.

He tasked the congregation to make evangelism their major preoccupation next year. 13 Nov.04
