Tema Baptist Church Women's Union confer

The Women’s Missionary  Union of the Tema Baptist Church has held a special church service for its members in Tema to discuss critical issues concerning the welfare of women.

Addressing the ceremony, the Founder of the  Salt and Light Ministry, Rev Dr Joyce Aryee, called on  women  to contribute their quota to building a just society through leadership by example.

She urged them to show love and kindness to both men and women as exemplified by the life of Jesus Christ and said the celebration of women’s day would have no meaning if love and care for one another was not  exhibited.

She said both men and women needed to work together to build a strong partnership to ensure peace and accelerated national development  and urged Christian woman to live up to their roles and responsibilities.

The President of the Tema Baptist Women’s Missionary  Union, Mrs Christiana  Owusu Koranteng, announced that the union had promoted spiritual growth among women’s groups  in the Tema area  by organising seminars  on women empowerment and domestic violence and said the union had also undertaken  educational programmes for young women in the church.

Mrs Owusu Koranteng  said  the union  annually supported  some hospitals  in Tema and had also adopted a school in  Frankadua where  freed Trokosi victims  are  given apprenticeship  training in various skills.

She encouraged  the young  women in the church  to join the union to benefit  from its activities, which assist women to build their skills for their chosen professions and develop their entrepreneurial abilities.
