The Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Ga Mission Field, backed their words of love with action when they donated assorted items to inmates of the Nsawam (Male) prison in the Eastern Region, police cells at Pokuase and Sarpeiman in the Ga West Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
Rev. Joseph Oman Ocquaye, Coordinator-In-Charge of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Ga Mission Field said, it was not enough to verbally declare the love, sacrifice and forgiveness, Jesus Christ made for mankind without an action of love.
He said, on the occasion of Easter, the gesture was to “express the concern of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana towards the inmates and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ which reveals God’s love to humanity culminating in the death of Christ on the cross of Calvary for the salvation of all.”
Together with his team, he donated assorted items comprising, bars of soaps, detergents, toiletries, food stuffs, bags and boxes of drinking water, bottles of soft drinks among others amounting to GH4,603.00 to the prisons.
DSP Abdul Latif, Eastern Regional Public Relations Officer of the Prison Service, was happy at the gesture of the church and assured that the items would be used for the intended purpose.
He said that “there was no other way to express love to the inmates than the support and donation by the PCG Ga Mission Field especially on the occasion of Easter’.
He said the expression of love was the significance of Easter and expressed gratitude to all organisations and well-meaning individuals who often supported the inmates.
Rev. Joseph Oman Ocquaye, said the gesture to the inmates which was part of the Special Mission of the PCG would be a regular project, as it sought to win more souls for Christ.
The Mission Field he said, would embark on regular community-based activities which would involve traditional leaders, other organisations and well-meaning individuals with the aim of developing the areas both physically and spiritually.
The Ga Mission Field is one of the oldest mission fields in the Presbyterian of Ghana and currently comprises 23 churches.

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.
