The Accra Diocesan branch
of the Methodist Youth Fellowship [MYF] has embarked on an evangelism outreach
to observe this year’s Easter festivities.
Dubbed ‘Easter With The
Lord’ [EWTL], the 4-day annual evangelism drive which started on April 06, 2023,
took over 200 young people to the New Aplaku Circuit of The Methodist Church
Ghana to reach out to residents with the Word of God.
The eighth in the series,
this year’s EWTL witnessed an unprecedented collaboration between the Youth Fellowship,
the Korle Bu and Accra Technical University Locals of the Ghana Methodist
Students’ Union [GHAMSU], the Methodist Girls’ Fellowship and the Evangelism,
Mission and Renewal [EMR] Office of the Accra Diocese.
The Accra Diocesan Youth
Organiser, the Rev Edward Niikwei Okine, hailed the collaboration as a very
positive development and expressed the hope that “successive years will be even
more marvelous.”
The 2023 edition of EWTL
was primarily aimed at strengthening churches planted in the New Aplaku Circuit
during previous editions of the evangelism outreach programme. Participants
pitched camp at recently planted churches at ‘Aglow Farms’, ‘Seaview’ and ‘Mr
Obeng Red Top’, all suburbs of New Aplaku to encourage members as well as
strengthen their faith in God.
“Members’ enthusiasm was
raised and new members joined the church”, Financial Secretary with the Youth
Fellowship, Bro Prince Debra-Hammond, told this reporter.
Members of MYF, GHAMSU and
MGF embarked on dawn broadcasts, house-to-house evangelism, street evangelism,
medical outreaches and crusades to drum home the salvation message in an area which
has been declared a mission field by the Accra Diocese.
Participants expressed
fulfillment in the exercise and looked forward to the next edition with “much anticipation
and zeal.”
