The Living Yahweh 7Th Day Sabbah Assemblies has held its 2024 Annual Atonement and Charity Show Crusade with a call on the leaders of the country to fix a National Day to donate to the less privileged in the society.

The three-day crusade was on the theme: ‘But as for you, you meant evil against me, but ELOHIM YAHWEH intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives (Genesis 50:20)’.

As it is embodied in their Christian duty and corporate social responsibility, the church presented an array of donations to over 1,000 recipients from orphanages, hospitals, security services, and other institutions as its contribution to national development.

The items, valued at GHc 972,000 were 700 bags of rice, 300 bags of maize, hundreds of tubers of yam, 4,000 clothing, 50 wheelchairs, 100 white canes, over 1,000 toiletries and beverages, and thousands of Ghana cedis in cash donations.

Apostle Philemon Okoh Agyemang, the General Overseer and the Founder of the church made the call in
a sermon at the celebrations held at the Odorgonno Senior High School at Awoshie in the Ga Central Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.

He said the Day when established should be observed across the country to offer donations to the vulnerable.

‘God listens to prayers of vulnerable persons such as lepers, the blind, widows, single parents, among others and by having compassion and doing good to them the nation will receive blessings from God despite the iniquities of the citizens,’ he stated.

Apostle Okoh Agyemang quoted Proverbs 19:17 which states that: ‘He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.’

He said the Bible reminded Christians that a pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father was to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and keep oneself unspotted from the world.

He appealed to the various political parties in the coming elections to let peace prevail, to protect persons with disabilities who could not defend themselves in tim
es of confusion.

Mr Titus Glover, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, who led some dignitaries of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) members to the occasion commended Apostle Okoh Agyemang for organising such annual momentous events to support the poor.

He urged the church members to support their leader and do more for others to emulate him.

Mr Glover said the NPP believed in peace and had pledged to ensure that the December 7, 2024 election become peaceful, warning that anybody who would try to cause mayhem would be arrested and face the full rigorous of the law.

‘The right to make a choice in an election is enshrined in the 1992 constitution so nobody should be prevented,’ he stated, while pleading with all 7th Day worshipers to come out in their numbers on the election day to vote for Dr Mahamoud Bawumia.

He presented GHc100,000 on behalf of the party to the church to support their activities.

The Annual Atonement and Charity Show Crusade was officially launched in 2003, and has become an annual traditi
on, compassion and kindness to community members.
