The Women Ministries Department in the New Life District of the Seventh Day Adventist (S.D.A) Church has donated items worth GH¢12,000 to the Koforidua Local Prisons.
The items include three bags of bathroom slippers, 70 bags of sachet water, 700 pieces of toothpaste, 700 pieces of toothbrush, bags of second hand clothing, several copies of evangelistic books, washing detergents and toiletries.
The District Women Ministries Leader, Mrs. Gladys Coompson who presented the items said the purpose of the donation was to reach out to the inmates as the Bible obliged them to do.
She noted that the ministries assisted in spiritual, social, relationships,human interest and humanitarian issues, hence the need to visit the inmates and put smiles on their faces.
Mrs. Coompson indicated that the ministries would use the coming six months to visit, interact and encourage inmates with the aim of loving one another.
She, therefore, advised the public to embrace and love them when they were discharged.
For his part, the Church Pastor of the Newlife S.D.A Church, Pastor Osei Bonsu Sarpong encouraged the inmates to have faith in the Lord and hope that they would leave the place with a new heart.
Pastor Sarpong, who is also the District Pastor noted that there were characters in the Bible who were sent to prison but due to the faith they had in God, they were able to endure and got released later.
He indicated that some of the inmates had found themselves in their current situation due to mere hatred and added that “Jesus loves everyone including them”.
Also for her part, the Former Effiduase District Women Coordinator, Madam Margaret Serwaa Ofori revealed that she had engaged a number of the inmates for 10 years and won eight souls for Christ in baptism.
According to her, the inmates would reform totally when they were released.
Receiving the items, The Assistant Duty Officer of the Koforidua Local Prison, Assistant Superintendent of Prison (A.S.P) Samuel Adu expressed gratitude to the women for their kindness.
He appealed to the government, corporate bodies and philanthropists to address the water, food and congestion situation that the inmates were battling with.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
