The Founder of General Overseer of Living Yahweh, Apostle Dr Philemon Okoh Agyemang, in a sermon stressed

 the need for the country to have a state farm where all kinds of crops could be planted for the needy.

This, he said, would not only help boost the country’s economy but would go a long way improve the livelihood of the poor and the needy.

He also called for a collective efforts of communities, insti­tutions and the church saying “together we can work creating a more equitable and supportive environment and help in making a meaningful difference in the lives of the marginalised.”

“Every Christian has a re­sponsibility to care for the less fortunate. Every Christian has been given this calling by God. We must contribute and practice charity if we want to be blessed and glimpse the face of God,” he added.

While the various stakehold­ers are at it to help in alleviating the suffering of this group, he advised the beneficiaries to help themselves the least possible way they can rather than wait on external help.

He reiterated the church’s commitment to providing support to the needy by saying, “giving back to the community, especially the needy is part of the church’s corporate social responsibilities.”

The Head of Ashanti Region branch of the church, Pastor Francis Aidoo, also stated that the event embodied the church’s duty and corporate social re­sponsibility to the community and the nation as a whole.

With a sense of happiness and gratitude, the beneficia­ries commended Apostle (Dr) Agyemang and the church for the kind gesture, calling on other churches to emulate the kind­ness of the Apostle, which they indicated it as demonstrated love and compassion.

Some beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the church for demonstrating love and compas­sion towards them by providing their needs, expressing hope that the next event would bring forth abundance the items received
