The Scripture Union (SU) of Ghana has inaugurated an eight-member committee to organise camp meetings for the union.
The committee, known as the National Camps and Conferences Committee (NCCC), would organise camp meetings yearly to reach out to all children in the country.
The committee members comprise Professor Kobina Nkyekyer, Dr Godfred Lartey, Nana Yaw Offei Awuku, Mrs Lucy Asibey, Mr Nicholas Gyadu, Mrs Rose Osafo, Mr Kingsley Kwayisi and Mamme Hutchful.
The committee was commissioned on November 27, 2008, by the Chairman of the Ga Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), Professor Emmanuel Martey.
He said the call to serve on the committee was a special call from God to serve Him and to make a positive impact on the lives of the upcoming generation.
Prof. Martey urged the members to work diligently and faithfully to help the work of God in order to receive God's abundant blessings.
The Chairman of the NCCC, Prof. Kobina Nkyekyer, thanked all for the opportunity to serve the Lord in their capacity as members of the committee.
He assured the leadership of the SU of his commitment and promised to work hard with his team to ensure that children all over the country were reached with the gospel through the camping ministry.
The General Director of SU, Apostle Jude Hama, said the Camping Ministry was one of the activities of the union that brought together different people from different churches and tribes together to have fun and fellowship in the Lord.
He said the aims of the Camping Ministry was to present the gospel to campers in the context of an enjoyable and worthwhile holiday.
Apostle Hama said it was also to promote Christian discipleship including prayer and Bible reading, and to train children for leadership positions in the future.
