The Northern Sector Coordinator of the Ministry to Persons with Disabilities (MPWDs) of The Church of Pentecost, Overseer Joshua Korku Semador, in collaboration with the Wa Area of the church, has organised a health screening and gospel outreach at Duong, an MPWDs Assembly in the Daffiama District of Wa Area.
The event which took place on January 17, 2025, began with a brief but impactful service where Overseer Semador delivered an exhortation on the theme, ‘You Shall Receive Power,’ referencing Acts 1:8 and Acts 2:1-4. Following the exhortation and an intensive prayer session, there was a health talk on Cerebrospinal Meningitis (CSM), educating participants on its causes, symptoms, and preventive measures.
The health screening covered various areas, including Hepatitis B, Malaria, Peptic Ulcer, Sugar testing, BP monitoring, BMI checking, and Counselling. Over 180 participants were screened, and all received appropriate medications free of charge.
The event was a resounding success, with many participants expressing their joy and gratitude to God and the church leadership, particularly Overseer Semador. The chiefs and people of the commuhity also expressed their appreciation to the church and called for more of such activities.
The event saw attendance from both PWDs and non-PWDs from Duong and surrounding communities, as well as health workers from Tuori CHPS Centre, Duong CHPS Centre, and St. Anne Health Centre. Notable attendees included Pastor Alfred Owusu, Overseer Daniel Takyi, Overseer Richmond Nimako Marfo, and Overseer Andrew Akwetey from the Daffiama, Kaleo, and Nator districts.
