The recognition underscores her exceptional commitment to fostering spiritual growth and interfaith unity through her generous support of pilgrimages to Jerusalem, for leaders of all Christian denominations.
The Church, in the citation, observed that Naa Torshie Addo has facilitated these sacred journeys for several years, via her esteemed NGO, providing a unique opportunity for countless believers to deepen their faith and experience the Holy Land firsthand.
Part of the citation reads: “Her efforts have not only strengthened the spiritual lives of participants but have also fostered unity and collaboration among different faith communities.

It also included a heartfelt blessing that says: “May the Lord continue to open for you the heavens, the storehouse of His bounty, to send rain on your land in its season and to bless the work of your hands.” [Deuteronomy 28:12, NIV].
