New School block for Ho SSNIT flats

Story: Tim Dzamboe, Ho


The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) flats branch of the Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) Church in Ho has inaugurated a GHc 40,000 school building for a basic education school complex under the EP Church Educational unit.
The project was executed with seed money assistance of $14,000 to the SSNIT flats church from the Creative Ministries of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America to augment the regular special contributions from members of the church.
Named the Kekeli International School, the project served as the main achievement out-doored at the climax of the 20th anniversary celebrations of the SSNIT flats church commemorated last Sunday.
Other achievements obtained through fund raising activities were a set of musical instruments, an electronic organ and a public address system.
The branch has several church groups comprising, a Sunday school for children, a church choir, a Bible class, Christian Youth Builders (CYB), Men’s Fellowship, Action Band and the Hope, Trust and “Can Do” groups.
Preaching the sermon, the moderator of the EP Church, Right Reverend Dr. Livingstone Buama said the church had built the school as a stepping stone for its generations to come.
He commended the head pastor of the church Rev. S.K Asamoah for his tremendous support, enthusiasm and inspiration to the congregation to undertake the project.
The moderator said the achievement of the SSNIT flats EP Church should serve as an example to all upcoming churches to note that the sky is the limit and that Rome was not built in a day.
He also congratulated the entire congregation for their immense contribution towards the project and that they were ordinary people doing extra ordinary things.
The host pastor, Rev S.K Asamoah said the congregation was not a stable one because it was made up of workers who were not permanently stationed in Ho but said despite the unstable nature it was the preferred place of worship for many people who were non-residents at the flats.
He extolled the gratitude of God for seeing the church through 20 years of both spiritual and material growth.
An amount of GHc 4,000 was realized in a fund raising at the church service.
