Support Your Priests – Bishop

THE ANGLICAN Bishop of Sunyani Diocese, Right Rev Dr Festus Yeboah-Asuamah, has called on Christians to always support their church Ministers with prayers to be able to help the church and the word of God grow.

According to him, being a priest is a task that calls for more prayers to help priests grow more spiritually.
The Bishop was speaking at the ordination of five deacons to priesthood and two brothers to deacons at the St Anselm’s Anglican Church in Sunyani.
Rev Yeboah-Asuamah told the new ministers that their call into priesthood is a noble one, which would indeed come with a lot of challenges.
He entreated them to remain prayerful in all their endeavours and focus on helping the church grow spiritually and physically.
The Bishop urged them to be ambassadors of God’s word so as to expand the Kingdom of God.
Rev Yeboah-Asuamah called on the church to give their full support to the newly- ordained priest and deacons to help the Anglican Church grow, to enable them to accomplish their call and win more souls for God.
The Diocesan Chancellor of the Anglican Church in Sunyani who is the Supervising High Court Judge, Justice David Ofosu-Quartey took the newly- ordained priests through the administration oaths.
The newly-ordained Ministers were; Rev Frank Kusi, Rev Collins Opoku, Rev Thomas Adjei Baffoe, Reverend John Agyemang Prempeh and Rev Richard Obeng.
Brothers Nathaniel Barimah and Gabriel Afrifa Kodom were also inducted to the diocesan Diaconate.
