COME BACK HOME – EVANGELIST ROBERT MENSAH
Posted on Thursday October 27, 2022Story: Emmanuel Ashong, Kaneshie
A
Lay Evangelist of The Methodist Church Ghana, Evangelist Robert Mensah has made
a passionate appeal to sinners to come back to Jesus Christ.
“God
is looking for you. I don’t know where you have reached at the moment. I don’t
know the company you find yourself in now. There is good news for you. Come
back home. God has prepared good things for you”, Evangelist Mensah echoed.
He
was speaking at a three-day Wesleyan Revival Outreach organised by the Accra
Diocese of The Methodist Church Ghana at the Rev Joseph Thomas Clegg Memorial
Methodist Church Park at Kaneshie.
Spearheaded
by the Evangelism, Mission and Renewal Office of the Accra Diocese, the
Wesleyan Revival Outreach is geared towards spreading the Word of God and
reaching out to non-believers in all the 24 Circuits within the Diocese.
Drawing
lessons from the Bible Parable on the Prodigal Son, Evangelist Mensah noted
that Jesus was ready to take back anyone who returns to Him. He added that
those who come to Jesus become children of God and receive the peace of God.
The
Rev Edward Niikwei Okine, the Accra Diocesan Youth Organiser, prayed for
persons who gave their lives to the Lord.
The
fifteenth edition of the Revival Outreach had the Methodist Bishop of Accra
Diocese, the Rt Rev Emmanuel Borlabi Bortey in attendance.
The
programme was climaxed with a Thanksgiving Service held at the Rev Joseph
Thomas Clegg Memorial Methodist Chapel, Kaneshie on October 23, 2022.
Highlighting
briefly on the theme for the Revival Outreach, "Discipleship: Living the
Transformed Life in Jesus Christ ", the Accra Diocesan Coordinator for
Evangelism, Mission and Renewal, the Very Rev Richmond Abaka said evangelism is
a serious business of the Church and ought to be given all the attention it
deserves.
He
stressed on the need for soul winning and challenged members of the Church to
"go there, compel them to come. Go and compel them to come".
Funds
were raised to support evangelism activities in the Diocese.
