SU Ghana inducts new council

The Scripture Union (SU) Ghana has ushered in a new era of leadership with the induction of new council officers in Accra. 

The newly inducted five-member council is made of the National Chairperson, the Vice-Chairperson, Honorary Secretary, Honorary Treasurer and a Chief Executive Officer.  

Upon their induction, the Chairperson of the Council, Emmanuel Boate, pledged that the council, under his leadership, would restore the organisation’s influence and expand its reach.

Mr Boate assured the gathering that his team would work for SU-Ghana to reclaim its role in shaping young lives.  

Mr Boate also reiterated that SU’s role was to complement, not compete with, church ministries.

"We are working in the same kingdom of God. Our goal is to partner, not to replace," he added.  

Call for Revival

In an interview with the Daily Graphic, Mr Boate emphasised the need to restore SU’s influence in youth discipleship, adding that changes in church structures had affected its reach.

"Many years ago, youth discipleship in Ghana was synonymous with SU. However, churches developed their own programmes over time, some of which weakened our influence," he said.  

The national chairperson added that efforts to rebuild SU’s presence in schools and churches had already begun. 

Appeal for support

As he concluded, Mr Boate urged corporate Ghana, churches and alumni of the movement to contribute to SU’s revival.

"When you do a sample of leadership in this country, over 90% would have had a touch with SU. Why not give back?" he asked.  

He also mentioned SU's plans to establish a strong alumni network to harness resources and mentorship for the next generation.

"Let’s come together and help SU have the greater impact it needs," Mr Boate urged.
