E P YOUTH BUILDERS MARKS BIENNIAL RALLY (PAGE 18, OCT 23, 2010)

THE Tema Zone of the West Volta Presbytery of the Lorenze Wolf Evangelical Presbyterian Church Christian Youth Builders (CYB), has held a thanksgiving service to mark the second Biennial Rally of the Tema Zone.
Activities marking the celebration included Bible quiz, clean-up exercises, blood donation and sporting activities.
An Associate Pastor of the Lorenze Wolf congregation of the West Volta Presbytery Rev. Dzandu Helidor, who preached at the thanksgiving service urged Christians to help society fight crimes such as adultery, stealing at work places, pilfering and other social vices.
Rev. Dzandu was speaking on the topic “ Rejoice over the repentant sinner” and the theme was "Striving for Newness in Christ,- A challenge for all”.
He said although the scriptures abhors such conducts, God forgives repentant sinners because of His kindness to mankind.
He called on Christians to appreciate this kindness and close the chapter on committing of sins.
Rev. Dzandu appealed to the youth to desist from anti-social vices and direct their energies to the work of Christ and national development.
The Zonal Secretary of the CYB, Mr Michael Asempa called on the church to equip the youth with employable skills to reduce unemployment and poverty among members of the congregation.
He said the society had acquired land to put up a resource centre to train people in employable skills like dress-making, catering, block-laying and engineering .
Mr Asempa mentioned lack of funds as a major challenge to the project and appealed to patrons of the CYB, benevolent societies and NGOs to extend support to the CYB to enable it complete the resource centre.
Mr Jimmy Fugah, who chaired the programme commended the membership of the CYB for undertaking a project to train unemployed youth in the church, and called on the church to get involved to make the project a reality because its success would benefit the entire congregation and the youth as a whole.
The three-day event brought together seven youth groups from the E.P Church in the West Volta Presbytery
