The Counselling Pulpit, led by Mrs Esther Berko Kesse, wife of the New Combine District Minister in the Agormanya Area of The Church of Pentecost, has initiated a special ministry to the mentally challenged in Akosombo and its environs.
On Sunday, September 15, 2024, Mrs Kesse and her team, in collaboration with Damcity TV, took to the streets of Akosombo to embark on the compassionate outreach.
They distributed hot lunches, drinks, and water to mentally challenged individuals along the Akosombo-Kpong road.
This initiative follows last year’s successful collaboration with the New Combine District Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost and Damcity TV’s ‘Feed the Mentally Challenged’ project.
Mrs Kesse’s mission extended beyond providing material support; she also offered words of encouragement and professional counseling where needed.
Additionally, she took the opportunity to preach the gospel to some of the mentally challenged persons.
Surprisingly, those who were receptive accepted Christ seriously.
She prayed for them and assured them of God’s love, promising to periodically visit them to check on their progress.
According to her, the goal of her outfit is to show these individuals love, care, and support, as many have been neglected for a long time.
Mrs Kesse expressed gratitude to Damcity TV, the dedicated media partner, and her husband, Pastor Martin Berko Kesse, for their invaluable support in making the project a success.
The Counselling Pulpit encourages everyone not to be too judgmental towards mentally challenged persons but rather to add value to their lives.
