Minister Commends Global Evangelical Church

Hon. Joe Gidisu, Minister of Roads and Highway

The Minister of Roads and Highway, Hon. Joe Kwashie Gidisu has commended the Global Evangelical Church for their contributions towards the affairs of the society and the nation.

He said the role of the church in nourishing and giving spiritual guidance to its members does not only prepare them to be good children of God but also helps in shaping them to be good citizens with positive social virtues.

The Minister made this commendation during a key note address he delivered during the 2012 Synod of the Global Evangelical Church at the Pentecost University College in Sowutuom.

According to him, it is on records that the Church in Ghana has embarked upon numerous socio-economic projects which have not only been for the benefit of the membership alone but for the society at large.

“I recognize the Global Foundation of the Global Evangelical Church to empower the women in particular to alleviate poverty”, he said.

He said that the many educational institutions that the church has built all over the country over years have contributed immensely to the development of the nation and suggested that the church’s university be moved beyond food production techniques and venture into agro industries.

Hon. Gidisu said government will continue to open its doors freely for the church for a flourishing and vibrant state – church partnership towards their efforts at evolving the appropriate policy that would address the national concerns.

He called on all especially the church not to relent in its efforts to pray for free, fair and transparent election and entreated them to participate fully in the election so as to move Ghana forward.
