Lordina Foundation gives evangelism group musical instruments
The Lordina Foundation has presented musical instruments to the Little Waves Evangelism Group of the St Francis Cathedral in Cape Coast.
The presentation was in fulfilment of a promise made by the First Lady, Mrs Lordina Mahama, who is also the president of the foundation, at a funeral in Cape Coast last year.
The Deputy Minister of Defence, Mr Ken Adjei, who presented the items to the group on behalf of the First Lady, recalled that the group performed at the funeral of the mother of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ms Hannah Tetteh, during which it had a challenge with the public address system.
He said the First Lady decided to provide a new set of instruments to the group to enable it to continue with its evangelism through music.
Lordina foundation
The minister said the Lordina Foundation had been presenting tools and equipment to skilled persons such as tailors, hairdressers, barbers and the visually impaired as start-up support for their businesses.
He said aside that the Lordina Foundation had taken the issue of healthcare delivery very seriously and had been helping to promote women and children’s health across the country, by presenting assorted medical supplies and equipment to hospitals and clinics in some of the regions.
Mr Adjei explained that the donation of the medical supplies aimed at helping the government to realise its vision of providing quality and accessible health care for all.
Child marriage
He drew the attention of the group to the worrying issue of child marriage which is very dear to the heart of the First Lady and urged them to use their music to educate the communities they visited about the need for all to ensure that girls stayed in school and realised their full potential and not to be forced into marriages before the age of maturity.
He expressed the hope that the instruments would assist the group to reach a larger audience in the group’s quest to win souls for Christ.
Receiving the musical instruments, Reverend Father Isaac Ebo-Blay,the Vicar General of the Catholic Archdiocese of Cape Coast, described the First Lady as an angel whose philanthropic works was not limited to any particular group or persons.
Evangelism
He said during the group’s performance at that funeral, Mrs Mahama was so touched and promised to support the members in their evangelism work by providing instruments that the group was lacking.
Accordingly, the group said it needed a public address system and a mixer and the First Lady promised to provide them.
Rev. Father Ebo-Blay said the First Lady’s spirit of giving had touched the cathedral and the group and they would continue to pray for her in all her endeavours.
He thanked the Lordina Foundation for working hard to assist the underprivileged and said the instruments would assist the church in its quest to preach Christ to the people through sacred music and the word of God.
