A former Personal Ministries Director of the Southern Ghana Union Conference of the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church, Pastor Kwabena Twum, has urged church leaders to support the needy, especially those in the house of God to foster church growth.
He made the appeal at the climax of a 10-day prayer and fasting programme organised by the New Life District of the SDA Church in Anlo-Town, Koforidua under the theme ‘Unleashed.’
Pastor Twum, who was also the former President of the East Ghana Conference of the SDA Church, emphasised that financial instability doesn’t imply laziness, but rather a lack of opportunity.
According to him, many needy members were overlooked and left to face emotional and psychological trauma.
He said that God blessed others to also be blessings to others.
“God has blessed you to become a blessings to others,” he said, adding that giving to the poor increases church attendance and membership, reducing the need for crusades.
He noted that it was another way of assisting to lessen some of the burdens on government.
“Let us all be encouraged to support the less fortunate to fulfil God’s promises” he emphasised.
Furthermore, Pastor Twum urged the church leaders to make the welfare of their members a priority by finding solutions to their problems.
He encouraged the public to exhibit the habit of fasting and praying even in their difficult times and leave their burdens on God.
“Trials and tribulations are inevitable, hold on to your faith and God will not let you down,” he added.
The New Life District Pastor, Osei Bonsu Sarpong, advised members to prioritise God to attract His blessings.

President John Dramani Mahama today cut the sod for the construction of a 24-Hour Economy Model Market in Juapong, North Tongu District, marking the commencement of a transformative project aimed at boosting local commerce, creating sustainable jobs, and driving economic growth in the Volta Region.
The sod-cutting ceremony formed part of the President’s two-day ‘Resetting Ghana Tour’ of the Volta Region.
Addressing residents and stakeholders, President Mahama described the proposed facility as a modern economic centre designed to empower farmers, traders, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.
He noted that beyond serving as a marketplace, the project will provide critical infrastructure for storage, processing, packaging, distribution, digital commerce, and access to financial services.
The President reaffirmed Government’s commitment to accelerating development across the Volta Region through strategic investments in roads, healthcare, education, agriculture, transport, markets, and agro-industrial initiatives.
He highlighted Juapong’s strategic location and economic potential, indicating that the town is well-positioned to emerge as a key commercial and industrial destination within the region.
As part of the flagship 24-Hour Economy programme, the Juapong Model Market will be among the largest facilities under the initiative.
The project has been designated as a Category Four Market, the highest classification within the programme, reflecting its significance to the region’s economic transformation.
Broadcast journalist and aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Gomoa West, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, has pledged to embark on major infrastructure development if elected to represent the constituency in Parliament.
Speaking on Onua TV platform, Captain Smart said his priority would be to transform Gomoa West through extensive development projects.
“I will turn the constituency into a construction site,” he declared, stressing his commitment to improving infrastructure across the area.
Although much of his remarks focused on rallying supporters in local languages, he repeatedly assured residents that they would witness significant development under his leadership.
Captain Smart also urged party supporters to remain united and actively participate in the party’s internal activities ahead of the parliamentary primaries.
He expressed confidence in his bid and promised to work hard to improve the lives of people in Gomoa West if given the opportunity to serve as their parliamentary candidate.
