He,also, on behalf of the church, presented money totalling GH¢2,400 to some selected aged, students and orphans in the church, describing the gesture as a normal plan to support the needy.

Speaking at the ceremony, the district pastor, Joseph A. Eshun, who based his speech on Mathew chapter five, said as Christians they should show mercy to others, and that giving to the needy was an important Christian doctrine that should not be underestimated.
