Youth urged to emulate ‘best’ leaders

Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CAPP Outreach Missions (COMs,) Apostle Dr. Alex Kweku Nkrumah, has advised young people to emulate leaders who have lived well and those who are living exemplary lives if they want succeed in future.

Dr. Nkrumah gave this advice and more when young people across the country converged for a 3-day transformational conference to better equip them to lead and aspire higher for their respective futures in Accra.

The conference began on Thursday, August 6 and ended on Saturday, August 8, 2015.

It brought together young people from all walks of life with Greater Accra Regional Superintendent for Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. George Annan and Pastor Akwasi Boateng taking them through series of teachings about how to live a fruitful life for God and Ghana.

Speaking in an interview with the media after the climax, Founder and CEO of COM, Apostle Dr. Alex Nkrumah, said the organisation of a confab for the youth has always been on his heart because he has realised the youth do not have anyone who will hand over the baton of success to them.

He said disobedience and reckless lifestyles among the youth have been noted in the bible by God to happen in our time yet the youth need someone to inspire and show them the way.

Dr. Nkrumah charged the youth to put what God has put in their hearts to work and that their bare minds will only cause them to cheat and deceive others.

“They should emulate leaders who have lived well and those who are living exemplary lives,” he added.
He said people want so many things in today’s world and do not care if they destroy others to get them, such acts can be reverted if “we live with the love for others in our hearts.”

Minister for Women Children, Gender and Social Protection (MoWCGSP,) Nana Oye Lithur, who was the Special Guest of Honour at the event admonished the youth to desist from excessive alcohol, drugs and promiscuity if they want a better life for themselves.

Mrs. Lithur who was full of praises for Founder and Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of COMs, Apostle Dr. Alex Nkrumah, charged young Ghanaians to pursue a high course in life since they (youth) will be manning the country in the nearest future.

She pleaded with the youth to obey their parents and worship God wholeheartedly adding that alcoholism, promiscuous lifestyles, ‘wee’ [marijuana] and drugs are becoming rampant among them therefore the need to desist from them if they want a better life for themselves.

“I am happy with what Dr. Nkrumah is doing here, putting together young people and the elderly and advising them. That is something worth emulating,” she said.

She noted the country need men of his kind and urged Assemblies of God, Ghana and other churches to replicate same since such moves are what the country needs at the moment.

The Gender and Social Protection minister against these backdrops urged the Ghanaians and the country to support Dr. Nkrumah and his quest to transform the lives of the youth.

Some of the participants who spoke with the media after the conference noted they were enthused at the teachings and directions given them by the various.

Some expressed the desire for the programme to be migrated to their campuses while others wanted it to be a quarterly event.

COMs was birthed out of a desire to impact ordinary lives into greater heights in the year 2003.

CAPP simply means Character, Anointing, Power and Prosperity.
