FTMI, GAAF Mark 40-Day Fasting with Donation to Orphanage

The Fire Trinity Ministry International (FTMI) in collaboration with the George Amoako Alhassan Foundation (GAAF) has donated assorted food items and other relief supplies worth over GH¢20,000 to the Beads of Life Foundation at New Koforidua in the Ejisu Juaben Municipality of the Ashanti Region.

The gesture formed part of the organisations’ corporate social responsibility and also marked the climax of the church’s annual 40-day fasting and prayers programme held at the beginning of the year.

Presenting the items on Monday, March 9, the Founder and General Overseer of FTMI and Chief Executive Officer of GAAF, George Amoako Alhassan, said the donation was in line with the biblical teachings encouraging Christians to support the less privileged in society.

Quoting Book of Isaiah 58:6–8, Apostle Dr. Amoako Alhassan stressed the need for believers to demonstrate compassion to the needy.

“This is the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke. Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to clothe them… Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear,” he quoted.

He indicated that the items were donated by members of the church and other well-wishers both in Ghana and abroad.

Items presented included eight bags of rice, sponges, two cartons of milk, assorted drinks, cooking oil, toilet rolls, a bag of gari and a bag of sugar. Other items were biscuits, second-hand clothing, shoes, toffees, detergents, soaps, sachets of milk and Nido, as well as an undisclosed amount of money.

Receiving the items, the Administrator of the foundation, Doris Agyemang, expressed appreciation to the donors for their continuous support over the years.

She noted that Apostle Dr. Amoako Alhassan and his congregation have supported the home for the past 12 years, describing their support as a great source of hope for the children.

Ms. Agyemang further appealed to benevolent organisations, corporate institutions and well-meaning individuals to come to the aid of the foundation, explaining that most of the children are in school and require financial support to help them achieve their dreams.

After the presentation, Apostle Dr. Amoako Alhassan and members of his team interacted with the children, playing football and other games with them.
