The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, recently hosted a delegation from the Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) Church to discuss ways the Church can support the government’s development initiatives in the region. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to explore collaborative efforts aimed at driving socio-economic progress in Ashanti.
During the discussion, both parties focused on how the EP Church can contribute to President John Dramani Mahama’s development agenda. As a respected institution with a strong community presence, the Church can play a key role in advocating policies that improve the lives of residents and promote sustainable growth.
Dr. Amoakohene expressed his appreciation for the visit, emphasizing the importance of the Church’s influence in fostering development. “I feel honored to have had the opportunity to host this distinguished delegation. The EP Church’s role in advocacy and spiritual guidance is invaluable, and together we will foster long-term development for the Ashanti Region,” he stated.
A particularly moving moment during the meeting was when the EP Church delegation offered prayers for Dr. Amoakohene and President Mahama, demonstrating their spiritual support for the nation’s leadership. This act of faith highlighted the Church’s commitment to both governance and moral leadership.
Dr. Amoakohene acknowledged this gesture, saying, “I truly appreciate the prayers and the warm congratulations I received on my appointment as Regional Minister. This visit reinforces the importance of faith, unity, and collective action as we work together for the progress of our beloved Ashanti Region.”
The discussions concluded with a shared commitment to strengthening collaboration between the government and the EP Church. Dr. Amoakohene expressed optimism that, through faith-driven leadership and strategic planning, the Ashanti Region will continue to advance toward prosperity and unity.
This meeting marks the beginning of a promising partnership, reinforcing the power of cooperation in achieving the region’s development goals.
