According to the church, “we must do all we can to stop abuse in our families, our communities where women are raped and beaten, our work places where women are treated less and paid less than men, women in prison who are abused, abuse of the elderly and so many problems of abuse”.

Speaking at the 3rd Women’s Ministry Congress of the West Central Africa Division of the Seventh Day Adventist, the Director for Women’s Ministries at the General Conference of SDA, Heather-Dawn Small revealed that, “right now in Ghana, we are collecting signatures to give to the government to ask for more laws to help women and girls” through a campaign dubbed ‘End It Now’.

The four-day congress under the theme, “Saved to serve”, has drawn members of the women’s ministry of the SDA from 22 countries in West and Central Africa to Kumasi.

On her part, the Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Elizabeth Agyemang who represented the First Lady, Rebecca Akufo Addo challenged the women, to with “one voice, speak to deter perpetrators of abuse and violence against women”.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities.
