The Member of Parliament(MP)  for New Juaben North and Deputy Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Nana Adjei Boateng has appealed to Ghanaians to offer the needed sacrifice for national development. 

He said sometimes challenges in life were taken for granted, although they were meant to strengthen and toughen people for more challenging missions ahead of them.

The Member of Parliament made the remarks at the 50th-anniversary celebration of the Bethel Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at Effiduase near Koforidua on the theme, ‘’ Making disciples of all nations-50 years of evangelism’’.

He commended the Presbyterian Church for their enormous contribution towards the development of education, health and the continued prayer for the country.

He indicated that the relationship between government and the religious bodies was cherished and asked for their continuous prayers and support for the development of the nation.

The Koforidua District Minister of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Reverend Dr Kofi Amfo-Akonnor called on churches to exhibit some responsibility in their dealings to lead and give direction to the nation and politicians.

‘’If the church, which has a responsibility to provide leadership for the country fails, then it has failed the nation and God’’ he emphasized.

Rev. Amfo-Akonnor said Ghana needed serious minded people who were trained, moulded for building a nation and capable of bringing the country to where God wanted it to be.
