The Wa Area Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost celebrated this year’s Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 11, by extending love and support to the inmates of the Wa Central Prison.
As part of the celebration, the women donated assorted essential items, including toothpaste, toothbrushes, gari, sugar, boxer shorts, and slippers, to help address some of the inmates’ pressing needs.
The team received a warm welcome from the officers of the Ghana Prison Service, who expressed profound appreciation for the ministry’s continued support.
On behalf of the ministry, Deaconess Rita Milku, the Area Women’s Ministry Leader, presented the items, explaining that the donation was intended to alleviate some of the challenges faced by the inmates. She emphasised that, as mothers, they empathise with the struggles of those in custody and hope the gesture would bring them comfort.
During a time of interaction, Mrs Dorcas Awuni, the Minister’s Wives Representative on the Area Women’s Ministry Executive Committee, delivered a powerful message of hope and encouragement, urging the inmates to trust in God’s unwavering love.
Quoting Isaiah 49:15, she reminded them that even if a mother were to forget her child, God would never forget them. She encouraged them to cultivate a personal relationship with God, likening it to the bond between a mother and her child; a connection built on love, care, and reassurance. She then invited them to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Saviour, assuring them of His ever-present guidance and comfort.
As the message resonated deeply, an altar call was made, leading to a transformational moment where nine inmates accepted Christ as their Lord and personal Saviour.
The inmates expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the spiritual encouragement and material support, sharing how the visit had uplifted their spirits.
Among those present were Pastor Solomon Mensah (Minister in Charge of the Prison and Associate Ministry), alongside the Area Women’s Ministry Leader and her executives. Also in attendance were Mrs Rita Ampah (Wife of the Resident Minister of PIWC-Wa), Mrs Augustina Dadzie (Wife of the Blue Hill District Minister), and other district leaders.
The Wa Area Women’s Ministry remains committed to spreading God’s love and compassion to those in need, ensuring that His message of hope reaches every corner of society.
