“I will like to advice all members of Crossover Assemblies of God to fellowship with the Holy Spirit everyday of our Christian lives, so that God can use us to effectively do His work.
On this our 5th anniversary, I will like to say that, we should remember in all our endeavors that we are Christians, bought by the precious blood of Christ Jesus, so therefore we must live our lives as such.
I will like to also use occasion to plead with all Ghanaians, that 2020 is election year, all religious bodies should help to maintain the peace we are enjoying now,” he said.
