Pastor Dr Samuel Bornya preaching
The President of the East Ghana Conference of the SDA Church, Pastor Dr Samuel Bornya Arloo, has said that disunity in the body of Christ has contributed to disorganisation in the Church.
He said this in an interview with The Spectator at the closing ceremony of a five-day Camp Meeting of the Effiduase District of the SDA Church at Koforidua last Saturday.
According to him, “disunity is one of the main tools being used by the devil in fighting the power of the church, and he does it through doctrinal values, ethics, interpretation of the bible, among other means”.
He, therefore, called on church leaders to go back to the word of God and preach the right messages to the people to prepare them for the Saviour because the world was on the verge of coming to an end considering the outbreak of diseases and wars.
“Let us be united to fight our common goal else it would be better for us to remain in the world than to spend precious time, energy, and a lot of funds in doing the work of God for Christ to tell us He does not know us because we did not do the right thing,” he said.
He said the church had deviated from its path because the leaders had allowed it to be a market place where all manner of items were sold while others turned theirs into “boxing arena,” making the church unattractive to outsiders.
Pastor Arloo again talked about the economic hardship in the country and said it was not a new thing to the SDA church because Jesus Christ had said it before going to the cross to die for mankind, but bad human tendencies had worsened the situation.
He said if Christians would understand their role as children of God in Ghana and perform their duties responsibly as God expected, the economy would bounce back in no time.
Preaching the sermon on the topic “The King is Coming,” he urged the SDA members to study the bible well and understand the times and seasons to enable them bring more souls to Christ.
The Effiduase District Leader, Pastor Bernard Adu-Yeboah, also said the camp meeting was an annual programme which brought all the members together to think about their spiritual welfare and strategise to walk right before the Lord and afforded them the opportunity to fraternise socially.

Deputy National Women Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mimi Duah, has openly declared her support for Mavis Hawa Koomson as the next National Women’s Organiser of the party.
In a statement endorsing Hawa Koomson’s candidature, Ms Duah outlined four key reasons why she believes the former MP and Minister of State is best placed to lead the party’s women’s wing.
According to her, Hawa Koomson is a motherly figure who rose from the grassroots and is widely noted for her forgiving nature and ability to foster unity.
“She is a true grassroots mother who easily forgives, fosters unity, provides guidance and arbitrates to ensure all aggrieved party women are brought on board to ensure a unified women’s wing,” she stated.
Ms Duah also pointed to Hawa Koomson’s vast experience, having served as a Constituency Women’s Organiser, Member of Parliament and Minister of State, noting that the experience positions her to provide effective leadership as National Women’s Organiser.
She further described Hawa Koomson as capable of making the women’s wing resourceful, through her extensive network and business contacts, to lobby for logistics, training and financial support for women organisers at all levels.
Lastly, she said the NPP as an opposition party needs fearless, bold and assertive leadership at the women’s front to inspire regional, constituency and polling station women organisers as the party reorganises towards the 2028 elections.
“We need a Women’s Organiser who has been tested, who is bold, who understands grassroots women, and who can lead us to victory in 2028. Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson is that leader,” she stressed.
