The Executive Presbytery of Assemblies of God, Ghana, has urged all church members and the Christian community to participate fully in the national clean-up exercises, which started yesterday and end today, Saturday, July 11, 2026.
A statement from the church said it “deeply condoles with families of Ghanaians and other nationals who lost their loved ones and profoundly sympathises with those whose properties were destroyed in the horrendous floods”.
It said this recurring disaster underlined the imperative necessity to muster political will and initiate bolt-and-nut measures to save precious lives and minimise the destructive impacts of flooding across the country.
Environmental cleanliness
Furthermore, the statement said the national clean-up exercises presented the first test of the resolve of Ghanaians to change the pitiable narrative and open a new chapter of environmental cleanliness and sanitation consciousness.
“In view of this, Assemblies of God, Ghana, asks all its pastors, members and other faith-based groups to actively join the clean-up exercises in their communities.
We understand that faith is not just private devotion - it is also public action,” the statement said.
It said an action to keep the environment clean must not only reflect in periodic exercises but also in the constant practice of all Christians and all Ghanaians in general.
“Contextually, we must let our light copiously shine before other members of society so that they may see our good works of environmental stewardship and give glory to our Father in heaven,” the statement added.
