Story: Emmanuel Mordey, Hohoe
The 12th Zonal Rally of the Good News Choirs Union branch of the Evangelical Church, Ghana, ended at Hohoe with a call on Christians to translate their Christianity into acts which will be beneficial to the society.
Christianity, it was observed, was a call to self denial, taking the cross to assist the vulnerable in society.
The Principal of the Peki Seminary, Rev Dr S.S Agidi, who preached the sermon to close the rally therefore cautioned against prosperity messages when Christians continued to suffer.
This, he said, was the cause of the springing up of churches to make it look as if Christianity was cheap.
Rev Dr Agidi said singing and dancing alone was not enough to be a disciple.
"It is about sharing with the deprived, visiting the sick and prisoners, and helping one another", he said.
He therefore called for dedication of their lives to serve one another and God.
The Hohoe District Chief Executive, Mr John-Peter Amewu, asked them to remain steadfast in their endeavours and be faithful to one another.
He assured them of the government's preparedness to collaborate with churches for development.
The Member of Parliament for Hohoe North Constituency, Mr Jacob Prince Hayibor, was positive that God was ever ready to assist them in all their difficulties.
He called on the south to come together to assist in income generating ventures.
Before then, the members were at the Hohoe District Hospital where they donated 50 pieces of bed sheets and pillow cases to their adopted children's ward, donated blood to the blood bank and cleaned the yard.
