Church on the Rock International extends love to BOSCO Orphanage
The Church on the Rock International has donated items to BOSCO Orphanage at Trotor in the Suhum Constituency of the Eastern Region on the New Year’s Eve.
The items included food, beverages, students’ mattresses, sachet and bottled water, educational materials, toiletries and assorted fruits.
Speaking at the presentation, the Associate Pastor of the Church, Rev. Mrs Sophia Appenteng, said, “We believe in demonstrating God’s love through our actions. Today was not just about giving but about connecting with these children and reminding them that they are deeply loved and cared for by God and by us.”
She said the visit was not the first time but for the past 20 years, the church has not left the children unattended.
The children expressed joy and gratitude for the time shared and the blessings received through the Home Father, Rev. Emmanuel Sakyi.
Members of the church, alongside the children, shared a meal, danced, and celebrated together, creating a joyful atmosphere of unity and belonging.
“It was evident that the presence and fellowship of the church members has left a lasting impression on the hearts of the children,” he stated.
“The Church on the Rock International continues to be a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of Christian love in action,” he added.
Rev. Sakyi appealed to philanthropists and government to come to the aid of the little ones by providing accommodation for both students and teachers.

National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Executive Committee member and Volta River Authority (VRA) Board Member, Wonder Victor Kutor, has described calls for the resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as premature and unjustified.
He argued that there was no evidence to establish that the minister had committed any wrongdoing to warrant such demands.
Speaking on Joy News in Accra on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Mr Kutor questioned what had changed to justify the growing calls for the minister to step down.
He recalled that the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Abu Jinapor, had earlier indicated that the opposition was not accusing Mr Ablakwa of any wrongdoing.
Mr Kutor, therefore, challenged those demanding the minister’s resignation to provide fresh evidence to support their position.
“The call for the Minister to resign is premature, it is untenable. There is no evidence. I mean, what has he done wrong?” he questioned.
He added that documents, including boarding passes, airline receipts and flight manifests relating to the minister’s return journey, had been provided.
Mr Kutor expressed concern that the calls for Mr Ablakwa’s resignation could discourage young politicians from speaking out against corruption and advocating transparency.
According to him, politicians should not be targeted or maligned for demanding accountability, warning that such treatment could create the impression that speaking against corruption could later become a liability when one is appointed to public office.
He maintained that calling for accountability and transparency should not be used as grounds to target public officials without evidence of wrongdoing.
