The Christian Worship Centre (CWC) church, Ghana, located at Bubuashie in Accra, has climaxed its 25th anniversary celebrations with a fund-raising dinner.
The fund-raising dinner, held in Accra last Saturday, was to support an orphanage managed by the church called the “CWC Children’s Village,” located at Fise near Amasaman.
The orphanage has 40 children under its care with three of them in senior high school.
According to the Founder and General Overseer of the church, Reverend Hansen Mettle, the needs of the children, which include feeding, clothing, accommodation and education, are taken care of by the church and with donations from the general public.
He said the fund raising was intended to help build a nursery and a sick bay for the orphanage.
Addressing the members at the event, Rev Mettle noted that due to economic pressures many Christians found themselves fighting on what to gain rather than what to give out and were therefore unable to support the less privileged.
He stressed that when society gave hope to the less privileged by investing in them their future would be shaped for the better and they would not indulge in social vices such as armed robbery or prostitution.
“It is not how much you can contribute money to raise the church or take care of it but how you can become a blessing to someone in dire need,” Rev Mettle stated.
He indicated that the CWC planned to build and operate a facility for children with special needs and with peculiar problems such as mental illness, slow learning and other disabilities.
The anniversary, which was on the theme: “Declaring the Goodness of God and Mercy”, was marked with a year-long activities including seminars, counselling, health walk and fun games.
