CAC ends Easter Convention

Accra, April 5, GNA - Christians were on Monday asked to make themselves the instrument of change, that the country needed to move forward its developmental agenda.

Apostle S.K Amoani, Chairman of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) International, who made the call, noted that the world, including Ghana, was plagued with challenges such as political instability, ethnic violence and conflicts, poverty and moral degeneration, which were the major vices slowing the wheels of national development.

To check the problems, Apostle Amoani said, Christians ought to take the lead and effect the changes within the areas in which they lived. Apostle Amoani was addressing thousands of the members of the Accra West Territory of the CAC at a ceremony to close the four-day Easter Convention of the Church, which was on the theme, "The Kingdom that cannot be shaken".

He noted that, there were social miscreants such as drug peddlers, pushers and addicts and many others, who needed to be embraced and welcomed by Christians into the Kingdom of God and urged.

Apostle Amoani observed that the world was moving towards where, "the mighty were falling" and challenged Christians not to be counted among the fallen but stand out to be counted even in times of difficulties. According to him, some Christians were denying their faith because of pressures from the world and appealed to the congregation not to compromise on their faith.

The Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North, Mr Joe Appiah, appealed to Christians, irrespective of their political affiliation, to support government in building the nation.

He announced that a hospital would soon be built to cater for the health needs of the people in the constituency. An educational fund would also be established to cater for the needy but brilliant students in the area, he added. A former Chairman of the Church, Apostle Samuel Kofi Asare, led the congregation to pray for the nation and its leaders as well as all Ghanaians. 5 April 10
