• Children could not wait for the peace poster
The Lions Club International District 418 has reiterated its commitment to chalk an unprecedented success in the 2022-2023 Peace Poster and Peace Essay Contest held annually to promote national and global peace.
The international peace poster contest under the theme “Lead with Compassion”, is to harness the talents of children between the ages of 11 to 13 years to submit works that promote peace through compassion.
According to Lion Diane Novis Zukowski, Chairperson of the District 418 Peace Poster, it is always important to safeguard and promote peace in our nation because it is an important tool for national development.
Touching on the Peace Poster campaign, she observed that children know how powerful compassion could be and are often able to express this feeling more openly than adults.
“This year, we invite young people to explore and visually express the peaceful future that compassionate leadership brings, however, students and children between the ages of 11 to 13 years as of November 15, 2022 are eligible to participate in the International Peace Poster Contest”, she underscored.
For participating in the contest, Lion Diane said one must send an essay on this year’s theme or a pencil sketch of the Lions Clubs International logo together with his or her name and contact details to dpp@lionsclubsghana.org.
The District 418 Peace Poster Chairperson commended her team for their support to make children in Ghana excel during the International contest, and also working hard to promote Lions Club International aim of maintaining peace.
She encouraged stakeholders to partner with Lions Club District 418 for this laudable initiative that would always safeguard the peace of the nation and also called on sponsors to come on board and support the peace poster contest.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
