At the end of what was a thrilling competition, Gracefield International School emerged as the eventual winner and received various awards.
Miss Maria H. Kwatchey Agozie, who led the competition, said that the initiative aimed to reach schools and inspire children to grow in faith while building their ability to speak and communicate in public.
In addition, she noted that the competition tagged “Raising Champions of the Word” was not just a contest but a movement to help children fall in love with Scriptures.
The next edition of the competition will take place on November 18, 2025, at the Legacy Girls School.

The Government of Ghana says it will engage authorities in Burkina Faso following the West African country’s recent ban on the export of fresh tomatoes.
The Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry confirmed in a press release that the ban, which took effect on March 16, 2026, has prompted Ghana to open discussions with its neighbours to find a mutually beneficial solution.
The government said the talks will involve relevant state institutions and aim to address concerns surrounding the suspension while protecting the interests of Ghanaian traders and consumers.
The ministry urged tomato traders to remain calm as efforts are underway to secure an amicable resolution.
The ministry reiterated its commitment to boosting local tomato production through the “Feed Ghana” and “Feed the Industry” programmes.
These initiatives it said are designed to increase domestic output to meet market demand and reduce reliance on imports.
