The Helper’s Arena of the Keeper’s House Chapel has registered 420 people onto the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) for free, as part of the church’s fifth anniversary celebration.
It also offered free medical screening and people with high blood pressure and sugar levels were advised to do further checks.
In his remarks, Rev Ebenezer Hamilton, Pastor in charge of the branch, said the gesture was the church’s way of supporting the community beyond spiritual activities.
He expressed the hope that in future the church would be able do more to support the community.
Rev. Hamilton urged Ghanaians not to abandon this year’s elections but go out in their numbers to vote.
He advocated the development of a National Development Plan where all political parties would have to adhere to, and their manifestos should spell out the innovative and creative ways to achieve the Development Plan.
That, he said, would deter political parties from doing what only suits when they come to power.
It would also cure the current phenomenon of abandoning projects by successive governments which resulted in many uncompleted projects scattered across the country.
Rev. Hamilton stressed the need for the people to be each other’s keeper by showing love to their neighbours, even on the roads, to reduce the number of accidents.
He thanked God for His grace and bringing the church thus far.
