Ashtown Presby Women’s Fellowship Supports Amanfrom Prisons

The Women’s Fellowship of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Ashtown Congregation, has presented items to inmates of the Amanfrom Camp Prisons in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District in the Ashanti Region.

Among the items were bags of sachet water, bags of rice, sugar, soap, toilet rolls, and others.

This gesture is among the several activities earmarked for the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Ashtown Congregation Women’s Fellowship in the Asante Presbytery.

The anniversary is under the theme, “Jesus Christ: The Foundation and Focus of the Christian Woman”.

Led by their President, Mrs. Juliana Serwaa Kwarteng, the entire members of the Fellowship, clad in their 30th anniversary T-shirts, visited the centre on Saturday, 27th July, for the presentation.

Mrs. Juliana Serwaa Kwarteng, on behalf of the Fellowship, presented the items, which were received by the Amanfrom Camp Prison Chaplain, Rev. Fr. Aiboo, who expressed appreciation to the Ashtown Presby Women’s Fellowship and prayed for God to bless them accordingly.

Rev. Ernest Ofori Debra, Minister in charge of the Ashtown Congregation, speaking to Opemsuo News, said supporting the needy, particularly prisoners, is a religious obligation that pleases God. He commended the Women’s Fellowship for their kind gesture and hoped such moves would be periodic.

“Paying charity visits such as this is really important to God, and I am happy that our women, as part of their anniversary, have visited the Amanfrom Prison to share with them not only their widow’s mite but also the word of God. Such charity visits are dear to God, and I hope they will not end here.”

He pleaded with the general public to also support inmates because the government cannot do it all alone.

“Let me take this opportunity to plead with others to support our inmates. The government needs our support to take care of them, so let us all do our best to support them.”
