The ministry was privileged in the course of the week to have the wife of the Area Head of Teshie-Nungua Rachel Koduah, ministering on the topic, “Portraying God’s glory in Hospitality.” Reading from Genesis 18: 18, 24:15-28, Hebrews 13:6, 1 Peter 4:9, she used the story of how Abraham ministered to three men who were angels and received his long-cherished promise from the lord. She urged women to show hospitality without grumbling and do every act of hospitality from their hearts.

On her part, the District Leader, Deaconess Isabella Gyau Orhin led the ministry to deliberate on the topic, “How to manage in difficult times.” Some of the difficult situations she talked about included, “difficulties at the work place, betrayal, pollution, aging, losing a loved one, loss of Job, being unmarried, negative viral videos, among others. She encouraged members that their first point of call in any difficult situation is to pray and read the Bible which gives hope and encouragements (Mark 15:4). She cited Deborah, Jael, and Abigail as brave women who used biblical principles and stood their grounds as Christian women.

Deaconess Edna Kekrebesi, the Assistant District Leader of PIWC – Sakumono, also led the ministry on the topic, “Portraying the glory of God in your community.” She used the story of Dorcas recorded in (Acts 9: 36-42) as a case study of portraying God’s glory in one’s community.

Also, Deaconess Faustina Hamilton spoke on the topic, “Portraying God’s glory at your work Place.” He encouraged women to do the will or purpose of God at their work place, to work hard for the Lord, to be the light in their work place and to preach the word of God.
