The Treasurer of the West Central African Division of the Seventh Day Adventist Church (WAD) based in Abidjan, Ps. Dr Dickson Sarfo Marfo, has urged Christians, especially members of the SDA Church, to set themselves apart and live holy lives.
Speaking at the 2026 Annual Camp Meeting Consecration Service organised by the New Life District of the SDA Church at Valley View University, Oyibi, Dr Marfo said devotion to God, holiness and consistent study of the Bible were the only ways believers can ‘stand the test of time.’
The four-day camp meeting was held under the theme: “Integrated for Mission: Grounded in the Bible and Focused on the Mission”.
Dr Marfo told the congregation: “Take time to spend time to read God’s word. That is the only way that you can stand the test of time.”
The WAD Treasurer cautioned that merely attending church without surrendering one’s life to the will of Christ does not guarantee a person as a true Christian who is waiting for the second coming of God.
Dr Marfo noted that these are times when true Christians must live godly lives that the world can emulate.
He challenged members to make a decisive turn after the camp meeting.
For his part, the President of the East Ghana Conference of the SDA Church, Ps. Dr Ernest Kwaku Ofosu, encouraged the congregation to allow the Word of God to correct them from negative behaviours.
Dr Ofosu also urged the congregation to be very serious and to work out their own salvation with diligence.
The New Life District Pastor, who also serves as the Eastern Regional Manager for SDA Schools, Pr. Asante Amaniampong Danso, advised members to remain faithful and steadfast as they await the second coming of God.
The occasion was graced by several dignitaries including the Registrar of Valley View University, Pr. Dr Samuel Amankwah; the Communication and Legal Affairs Director of the EGC, Pr. Patrick Nyarnor; and Former President of the MGC, Pr. E.D. Poakwah, among other guests.
As part of the occasion, 19 souls were baptised into the Seventh Day Adventist Church.
President John Dramani Mahama will be joining African heads of state, business leaders, investors and innovators shaping Africa’s next chapter, at the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum scheduled to take place from 2nd to 4th October 2026 in the historic city of Alamein on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.
The three-day Alamein Africa Forum is established as a permanent African Business Forum to convene biennially in Egypt.
It is to become the continent’s premier gathering where political power meets entrepreneurial prowess, bridging the established engines of African growth with the new sectors defining its future.
Co-organised by the Government of Egypt, African Export – Import Bank (Afreximbank), the African Union and AUDA-NEPAD, it is expected to bring together more than twenty (20) heads of state and government representatives alongside business leaders, bankers and development institutions.
Ghana’s President, who on 23rd September 2026 declared Ghana is open for business in New York after ringing the ceremonial closing bell at the Nasdaq Stock Market will be leading the Ghanaian delegation, to include the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu – Adjare, to the forum.
Other members of the Ghanaian delegation are the Head and Presidential Advisor for Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, Hon. Augustus Goosie Tanoh, Ghana’s Special Envoy to the Alliance of Sahel States, Colonel Larry Gbevlo – Lartey alongside key Ghanaian private sector players.
Bringing together leaders in politics, business and policy from across the continent, the Alamein Africa Forum will provide a unique opportunity to shape Africa’s growth agenda by aligning policy and investment priorities, mobilising partnerships for implementation and strengthening financing and investment pathways.
The private sector must become an integral part of Agenda 2063, the African Union’s strategic fifty-year masterplan to transform the continent. The private sector is the core economic engine required to turn the African 2063 from an aspirational government roadmap into realized infrastructure, jobs, and value-added trade.
