The President, John Dramani Mahama, and the First Lady, Lordina Mahama, have sponsored free medical screening, treatment, and medical supplies for retired pastors, spouses, and widows of pastors of Assemblies of God, Ghana.
In addition, the First Lady presented a Christmas hamper to each person and an undisclosed amount of cash as a gift.
The fifth in the series of the quarterly programme took place at the premises of the Ringway Gospel Centre of Assemblies of God in Accra, where both President Mahama and the First Lady worship.
Present were the First Lady of Liberia, Mrs. Kartumu Boakai; the former First Lady of South Africa, Tobeka Madiba-Zuma; and Ghana’s Ambassador to Spain, Sinare.
Mrs. Mahama, who is the founder and president of the Lordina Foundation, commended the Liberian First Lady and the other guests for their special show of solidarity with the retired pastors and widows in particular and vulnerable people in general.
The General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Wengam, praised the First Couple and the Lordina Foundation for the unequaled act of magnanimity.
He noted that medical treatment for retirees is a huge financial burden. The Board Chairman of the Lordina Foundation, Pastor Boateng Sarpong, reiterated the commitment of the Foundation to care for the vulnerable in society.
