The Presiding Bishop of The Methodist Church Ghana, Most Rev. Prof. Johnson Asamoah-Gyadu, has led a presentation of essential supplies to the Ghana Armed Forces as they prepare to deploy a battalion to South Sudan on a peacekeeping mission.
The event took place at the Conference Office, Wesley Towers, where the Presiding Bishop, together with other ministers of the Methodist Church, presented the items to Major Kweku Brobbey Addae-Duah, second-in-command of the battalion, and Rev. Capt. Otuo Acheampong, the unit’s chaplain.
Most Rev. Prof. Asamoah-Gyadu explained that while the donation may not fully cover the battalion’s requirements, it represents a gesture of the Church’s appreciation and solidarity.
