THE Aburi District of the Apostolic Church of Ghana has launched the 75th anniversary of the church with a number of activities.
The activities included a clean-up exercise in the Aburi town, a brass band music through the principal streets of Aburi and a church service on Sunday, which was attended by members of the various congregations within the district.
Also present were a number of pastors, including Apostle J.K. Addey, the Koforidua Area Apostle of the church, Pastor Kwabena Ankamah, the District Pastor and the Aburihene, Otobuor Gyan Kwasi, who chaired the occasion.
In a sermon, Apostle Addey traced the history of the church, which was established in the country in 1935 by missionaries from the United Kingdom.
He said although the early missionaries and the Ghanaian converts, especially the pastors, had to go through many difficulties, they eventually succeeded in establishing the church, which has become the mother of Pentecostalism in the country.
For his part, Pastor Ankamah called on members of the church in the district to continue to support any initiative that would improve their spiritual and physical well-being and also help win more souls for Christ.
He added that it was only in that direction that the church would grow.
Otobuor Gyan Kwasi urged members of the church not to be involved in activities such as indiscriminate disposal of refuse, which degrades the environment.
The Aburihene implored Christians not to consider chieftaincy as atheist.
He gave the assurance that traditional rulers at Aburi would continue to support the church’s initiatives that would improve the lot of the people in the area.
