YOUNG ADULT FELLOWSHIP REHABILITATES TERMINAL DAILY GRAPHIC (PAGE 30)

MEMBERS of the Young Adult Fellowship of the Miracle Life Gospel Church have officially presented a renovated bus terminal at Tema Community Five as part of activities marking the fellowship’s 20th anniversary.The facility was renovated at a cost of GH¢400.The youth pastor, Augustine Owusu-Asare, who performed the hand over ceremony on behalf of the general overseer, Rev. Gordon Kissieh, noted that the facility was to afford commuters a place to relax whilst they waited for means of transport to convey them to their various destinations.The anniversary celebration, which was on the theme: ‘Read, Write, Run, Just do it’ was designed to encourage the youth to retrace their steps to God.He said the infiltration of negative social vices into the Ghanaian society had made the youth, who were the front runners of the nation’s economy, to die earlier than the aged. This phenomenon, he said, had made it urgent for the creation of a platform that could facilitate their return to Christ in an attempt to rid the system of social miscreants.Pastor Owusu-Asare expressed regret at the high rate of graduate unemployment in the country, which had forced many a youth to indulge in negative social vices, and appealed to Christians and church owners to consider mentoring the youth to adopt positive lifestyles.The resident pastor of the church, Rev. Conrad Baiden, who preached the sermon, urged the youth to redefine their focus in life as nobody could set a vision without the purpose of God who is the creator of all things.He also charged members to live their lives according to the will of God as any reckless lifestyle could have serious implications for the attainment of eternal life.Rev Baiden cautioned the youth against indulging in offensive conduct that went contrary to Christian values.The youth fellowship held a four-hour health walk through some principal streets of Tema as part of efforts to raise funds to support the children’s ward of the Tema General Hospital.
