Rev. Steve Mensah, family fete prison inmates
Having made it a yearly obligation to support prison inmates, Rev. Steve Mensah and Deaconess Dr Mrs Angela Tena Mensah, of Christ Embassy Church, Nungua, have feted inmates of the Senior Correctional Centre in Accra.
The programme, which was held on New Year’s Eve, offered a joyful opportunity for the inmates to be fed with sumptuous meals and enjoyed lovely music.
The items donated included toiletries, quantities of bottled water, assorted packs of soft drinks and several copies of Rhapsody of Realities, a daily devotional booklet.
Rev. Steve Mensah, who is also the President of the International Prison Chaplain’s Association, Ghana, (IPCA), advised the inmates to take their relationship with God seriously by studying the word of God daily, and take delight in reading other religious materials.
He asked them to eschew negative thoughts, and rather maintain a positive outlook irrespective of the challenging situations that had confronted them in the past.
DSP Joyce Adubea Tieku, who received the items on behalf of the Officer – In – Charge (OIC), thanked the donors for their continued support to the Centre, spanning several years.
Deaconess Dr Mrs Angela Tena Mensah presented prizes for the winners of a motivational Bible quiz competition organised for the inmates.
In a related development, Christ Embassy, Nungua, also feted inmates of James Camp, Accra on Saturday, January 3, 2026.
The team presented quantities of toiletries, packs of bottled and sachet water, as well as copies of Rhapsody of Realities.
The Church had donated a television set together with dishes and decoders to enable the inmates to enjoy gospel and educational programmes.
Making the presentation, Rev. Steve Mensah promised that the church would continue to support the Camp.
He said the two donations were made at an estimated cost of GH₵40.000
