Resurrection Power New Generation Church gives to inmates of Navrongo Prisons

As part of activities marking its 15^th Anniversary Celebration, the Bolgatanga branch of the Resurrection Power New Generation Church, has donated assorted food items and other toiletries to inmates of the Navrongo Central Prisons. 

These include bags of rice, gari, and sachet water as well as boxes of washing soaps and loaves of bread among other consumables.

In addition to the items, the church also gave the inmates a decoder and a satellite dish. 

During the presentation, the Pastor in charge of the church, Kwame Sefa Frimpong, said it has always been the desire of the church to reach out to the poor and the disadvantaged.

Moreover, it is incumbent of Christ believers to give to charity and show love and compassion to one another as clearly stated in the scriptures.

Pastor Frimpong added that Christians are duty bound to reach out to those that are oppressed and in dire need of support. 

 

According to him, the scriptures also enjoin Christians to pay visits to those that unfortunately find themselves in hospitals and in prisons to show them care and brotherliness.

He said the provision of the decoder is to enable them watch sermons and other religious programmes televised on Resurrection Television, RTV, a Christian channel owned by the church. 

He said activities on RTV will get them inspired and bring them closer to God. 

The Public Relations Officer of the Navrongo Prisons Mr. Alhassan Nyankpani received the items on behalf of the 210 inmates.

He thanked the Pastor and his congregation for the kind gesture and promised that the items will be used for its intended purpose.

Mr. Nyankpani however appealed to the church for first aid drugs to equip their infirmary. In a brief Sermon, Pastor Frimpong advised the inmates to live Godly lives and be at peace with each other.

Pastor Frimpong cited the divine Redemptions of Paul and Silas in the Bible who were imprisoned for no wrongdoing and asked the inmates to rely on God since he is the only one that can bring them out of their predicaments.

Interestingly, the 210 prisoners between the ages of 20 to 45 years, some looked dejected while others were joyfully singing praises.

Prayers were said for the inmates especially one them who was down with sickness.
