USA Pastor Preach Peace In Ghana

Pastor Denis Lopez, the Head Pastor of Everyday Ministries in Torsa-USA has called on Ghanaians to leave in peace as it is the only way to freedom. According to her, nobody can bring peace to the people except Jesus so Ghanaians should put their trust in him to give them the peace the country needs.

Pastor Lopez was speaking at the presentation of a borehole, drugs and slippers for the people of Abronye-Curveso in the Sunyani West District of the Brong Ahafo. The borehole was provided by the Maranatha Power Ministry International in collaboration with Everyday Ministries from Torsa-USA to help the community get access to portable water.

She stressed that, when their partners in Ghana told them about the lack of water for the people of Abronye curveso they were touched to help them that why they came to help Maranatha Power Ministry Int. to construct the borehole for the people.

Pastor Lopez preached to the people through her translator and called on them to take Jesus as their Lord and personal savior. “We are in Ghana not only to provide water for the people but also to preach to the people to take Christ because he gives peace to his people”, she added.

The Head Pastor of Maranatha Power Ministry, Bishop Francis Afotey-Odei in an interview with the Daily Guide after handing over the borehole to the community said his Ministry is not an NGO but a church which goes out to provide water, schools and other things for communities who are in need of such facilities.

According to him, the past and present governments have done well but the villages are still suffering so his ministry has taken it up to help the villages with the few they can.

Bishop Afotey-Odei emphasized that he knows the provision of the borehole will go a long way to help the community who were previously drinking from a stream. He disclosed that since last year his Ministry has provided six boreholes for the Sunyani East and West Districts.

Representative of the Sunyani West District Chief Executive, Owusu Mintah who received the borehole on behalf of the community thanked the church for the provision of the borehole. He also advised the committee members who will be managing the borehole to adopt maintenance culture so that they will repair it when the borehole develops a fault.

Mr. Mintah said the provision of water will save the people from walking far from their village to get water. He said the Sunyani West District has 54% access to portable water and the Assembly is still expanding it
