Mrs Amissah-Arthur advised the women to be prayerful in supporting and nurturing young women, teaching them not only the Bible, but also how to live exemplary lives.
Partisanship
She said: “As Christians, God delights in our praises." She also urged them to rise above partisanship and avoid discrimination.
“As Christians, we are told to love our enemies so whether the person is of the same political persuasion or not, we have to show love to them because we are all one people. It is by loving others that we show the world that we are Christians,” she said.
