The items were made up of milk, sugar, rice, cooking oil, clothing, washing powder, hand gloves and toiletries.
The presentation formed part of the church’s support for the needy and the underprivileged in society, and climaxed the third anniversary celebration of the church’s existence.
The delegation from the church, which made the presentation, was led by its Head Pastor and Founder, Fr Francis Otuo Serebour, and included his wife, Mrs Rebecca Otuo Serebour, and the leader of the Monday Group of the church, Mr Ofori Amoako.
Fulfilling Scripture
In an interview with the Daily Graphic after the presentation, Fr Serebour said the donation was in fulfilment of a passage in the Scripture that encouraged Christians to help the needy and the underprivileged in society.
According to him, the donation would enable the inmates of the leprosarium to feel a part of society and experience love.
“As Christians, we’re mandated to help the poor and needy in society in order to fulfil Scripture,” he said.
The delegation also interacted with the inmates and encouraged them not to lose hope but rely on God for the best.
