The Youth Leader of the Church of Pentecost, John McKeon Temple, Korlegono, Elder Cephas Agbozo has appealed to the youths to consider spending the Valentine’s Day in church worshiping and singing praises to God instead of engaging themselves in immoral activities which will eventually destroy their life and ruin their future.
According to him, Valentine’s Day is a day of love for couples to express love and affection to each other but it is not meant for the youths to engage in immoral ventures.
''As youths, we need to dedicate our time in worshipping and singing praises to God on a day like this,  instead of engaging in sexual immoralities" he stated.
He made this remark on Valentine’s Day in Church during a Music Festival organized by the Youth Ministry of the Church of Pentecost at Korle-gono, in collaboration with the Royal Nana Perbi Outreach.

The festival was on the theme, “Time in his Presence” taken from Psalm 84 verse 10, which says “A day spent in the presence of God is better than thousand days spent somewhere.”
Speaking in an interview with Joy News, Cephas Agbozo, who is also an elder of the Church of Pentecost noted the Music Festival was initiated by the church to bring the youth together to worship God and listen to his word instead of allowing them to be on the loose, roaming the streets and engaging themselves in immoral activities all in the name of Valentine’s Day celebration.
''We've realized that the youths are gradually drifting away and joining the marriage couples in doing things they aren’t supposed to do so we advise that we engage the youths during times like this so they can do something fruitful to the Glory of God. If we don’t do that, they go out there and do whatever they like and the consequences are what we see in our society,” he explained.
Nana Adjei Perbi, budding Gospel artiste and the President of the Royal Nana Perbi Outreach Ministry led the worship and praises session with captivating live performances. He charged the atmosphere which got patrons jumping, singing joyously and dancing to the glory of God.
There were other song ministrations, poetry recitals, choreography and drama which kept the evening ablaze as the youths enjoyed the presence of God.

Photo of a man with amazingly ‘super head’ causes a stir on social media

Image
Many eyes have seen it but are yet to believe. To those who are convinced that God's creature exits on earth with such a weird shape of head have been left totally flabbergasted and worried too.That is human nature; doubting Thomases everywhere. A man whose photo has been making rounds on social media platforms has been the one in the centre of a huge controversy that rendered onlookers astounded and divided. The photograph in question has really created a scene that is of comic relief and over-sensational. The problem per se is not about his facial appearance but borders specifically on the 'caricature' shape of his head coupled with his jaw-jutting chin which has become the point of attraction at all cost.  It appears no amount of words could best describe the shape of his 'Hill-Valley-Hill Head' which looks very sparkling without hairs on it.  But some social media users who caught sight of the photograph have been reacting with varying

  People and the diseases they carry can be easily transmitted to any location in a matter of hours since we live in a linked, globalized society. Infectious illness epidemics are becoming more common, particularly in developing nations, where they have severe effects on people's health, social conditions, and economies. An epidemic is the rapid spread of disease to a large number of hosts in a given population within a short period of time. Being no respecter of person, an epidemic disease can affect both young and old of the society. The world since its creation has encountered several kinds of epidemics which have claimed many lives and caused great devastations to nations of the world. In the last century for instance, the world has been hit by six (6) different kinds of epidemics with devastating results on its economy, people’s health and social conditions. Between 1918-1922, Russia was unfortunate to have been hit hard by Typhus, (a fever caused by bacteria that are spread t

  In a bid to help end the kidnappings as well as the burgeoning human rights and social issues in Ghana and beyond, the Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG) in 2019 embarked on a ‘Nationwide Sensitization Campaign on Kidnapping, Teenage, Pregnancy and Tramadol/Drug Abuse’ (KTT). The campaign, popularly known as the ‘KTT Project’, focused on addressing issues of kidnapping, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse but equally set about creating a deeper education on human rights to bring about a cultural change. The ‘messiah initiative’ which saw a dedicated team of young volunteers in communities, schools and religious settings within three regions of the country managed to reach over 60,000 Ghanaians over two years sensitizing them on the most pressing and critical and social issues Ghana is facing.   HRRG team of volunteers The HRRG is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which brings together journalists, news editors, human rights activists, advocates, defenders and lawyers to advan
