The Calvary Charismatic Centre (CCC), one of Kumasi’s leading charismatic churches, has marked its annual Evangelism Month with a donation to the Asokwa Children’s Hospital.
Last Saturday, elders and members of the church, led by the Resident Pastor, Rev. Joshua Obeng, presented a range of essential items including toiletries, detergents, soaps, toothbrushes, and toothpaste to the hospital’s management.
The gesture formed part of CCC’s October initiative, which focuses on community outreach and evangelism under the theme “Massive Evangelism.”
Before the official presentation, the CCC delegation toured the hospital facilities to familiarise themselves with its operations.
The hospital’s Deputy Administrative Manager in charge of Claims, Benjamin Wiredu, briefed the team on the hospital’s daily activities and challenges.
Impressed by what they saw, the church leaders commended the hospital staff for their professionalism and the cleanliness of the wards and premises.
Presenting the items, Rev. Obeng expressed the church’s deep appreciation for the dedication of health professionals working tirelessly to care for sick children.
“A society that does not keep an eye on the health of its infants and children will eventually lose its existence,” he remarked, stressing the crucial role of the hospital in safeguarding the future of the nation.
He explained that although the Asokwa Children’s Hospital primarily serves the Asokwa area, its impact extends across Kumasi and beyond, making it a worthy beneficiary of the church’s outreach.
“As part of our evangelism month, members and elders of CCC felt compelled to give back to society by supporting this hospital that caters to our children. This is both a spiritual and social calling,” Rev. Obeng said.
He added that the donation was aimed at helping the hospital meet its immediate needs while also reaffirming the church’s mission to share God’s love through service.
Receiving the items on behalf of the hospital, Mr. Wiredu expressed profound gratitude to CCC for the timely donation.
“These are essential supplies that directly support our daily operations and the wellbeing of our young patients,” he noted.
