The Victory Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at Compound, a suburb of Dunkwa-On-Offin in the Upper Denkyira East District of the Central Region has celebrated its 40th Anniversary under the theme: “Celebrating Our Heritage: Persisting in Mission, 1 Corinthians 15:58; A Tapestry of Praise: Weaving 40 Years Together”.
The four-day celebration, which comprised activities including a Symposium, Musical Explosion, Health Walk, Clean-up exercise and Health screening was climaxed with a Thanksgiving Service last Sunday.
The church used the occasion to honour Mr. Victor Gadri, Senior Presbyterian, Philanthropist and Benefactor of the Church for his distinguished service, exemplary leadership and invaluable contribution to the advancement of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana- Victory Congregation.
Rev. Ernest Pipim, Minister-in-Charge, disclosed that the celebration is to thanked the Almighty God for how far He has brought the church and also to seek more blessings in the years ahead towards fulfilling its core mandate of winning more souls for Jesus Christ.
The Minister of God advised the youth to desist from social vices, such as drugs which lead to untimely deaths and rather venture into lucrative businesses. Hon. Emelia Ankomah, Esq., Member of Parliament for Upper Denkyira East urged believers to set political difference aside and pray for leadership of the nation to be endowed with “divine direction” to ensure the growth of the nation.
Mr. Victor Gadri thanked the church for honouring him and advised the youth to get involved in God’s work (church duties) and urged Ministers of the Gospel to double their efforts in evangelism. He further urged the appropriate authorities to clamp down on pastors, who promote “falsehood” in the various electronic media.
