Sakaman Methodist Women assist Weija Leprosarium (Saturday, May 15, 2010 pg )

THE Women Fellowship of the Sakaman Methodist Church has donated items, food and toiletries to the inmates of the Weija Leprosarium.
The donation forms part of activities marking the 15th anniversary celebration of the fellowship.
Making the donation, the President of the fellowship, Mrs Mary Osei-Baidoo, said the donation was to demonstrate the group's support for and solidarity with the inmates and added, 'very often, we tend to forget you but rest assured that our visits and prayers would be more than before".
She said as Christians, the least the members of the fellowship could do was not only to pray for them, but also contribute in their small ways to cater for the needs of the inmates.
Mrs Osei-Baidoo urged individuals, corporate institutions and groups to support the inmates in order to improve their living condition at the leprosarium.
The Resident Pastor of the church, Reverend Philip Norgbodzi, said it was important for the church to pray for the inmates’ spiritual needs and also provide their physical needs.
He urged the inmates not to lose hope but remain committed to the Lord, and promised " We will continue praying for you so remain committed to the Lord."
Ms Gladys Adobea who received the items on behalf of her colleagues, expressed gratitude to the group for the gesture.
"May God bless you and continue to supply your needs, so that you continue supporting us", Ms Adobea said.

Besides having to take care of her family’s needs every morning, she lives too far away from her work place and its hellish getting a car to the office. Michael has tons of bills to pay monthly, yet he is tired of boarding trotros and taxis to the office.. He has lost several important documents and even money on some occasions in the unreliable public transport. In all the above scenarios, the characters will certainly welcome their own cars; if they can afford one. But what if the costs of the cars are beyond them?  Well! That is why the banks and other financial institutions are available to help. But it is not that simple. As the demand for cars increase, some banks have developed loans mainly for the purchase of cars. So bingo! Auto loans are the answer. But who qualifies for an auto loan? Every...

Spiritual healers, men of God take over billboards, Monday, September 17, 2012, pg 32

SPIRITUAL healers have virtually taken over space of billboards across the country. This new trend is gradually overshadowing billboards of businesses, which used to be their preserve. From domineering larger-than-life structures through to miniature signposts, the traditional priests and priestesses, mallams and other traditional healers are competing for space with churches and the business community. Billboards advertising churches and shrines are on the increase along highways across the country, sometimes obstructing pedestrians and motorists alike. Advertisers Association of Ghana (AAG) figures estimate the minimum cost of producing a billboard at GH¢3,000 while the most priced is GH¢80,000. Proof that religion is a booming business in Ghana can be found in the increasing number of signposts and billboards advertising temples, churches and shrines promising career success, wealth, status in society, good marriages and problem-free visa acquisition, as well as booming b...
