was a sure bet to changing the fortunes of the Ghanaian.

He also urged the clergy and all stakeholders to begin speaking up against some actions of the EC which had the tendency to mar the peace of the country.

The General Secretary of the GPCC, Mr. Immanuel Tettey, exhorted the members of the Church to walk in the faith of the possibilities that God gave to those who diligently follow him

He said: ‘As members and leaders of the Church, we need a broader vision to develop society both socially and spiritually.’

Bishop Emmanuel Botwey, the General Overseer of the Christian Faith Church remembered the esteemed pioneers who laid the foundation of the church.

He said the 40 years had been a journey of mixed feelings.

‘Our journey has been marked by moments of triumph, challenges and struggles and seasons of growth,’ he said.

The General Overseer entreated the congregation to renew their faith, become refreshed and their spirit revitalised for the opportunities ahead.

On the 2024 elections, he encouraged s
ociety to avoid inflammatory rhetoric and hate speech and rather focus on issue-based campaigns, tolerance and understanding to promote responsible, transparent, impartial and peaceful process.

Mr. Andrew Egyapa Mercer prayed the church to continue to pray for the country as the elections approached for a peaceful electoral process.
