THE General Overseer of the Christian Action Faith Ministries International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, and his wife, Rosa, visited an orphanage in the Eastern Region last Saturday, exactly a week after their marriage in the United States of America (USA).
They visited the Baptist School Complex Orphanage and pledged to spend up to GH¢30,000 within the next month on the drilling of a borehole and the provision of electricity for the school to enhance teaching and learning there.
They inspected a library and three-classroom block under construction which he is funding and pledged to give an additional GH¢10,000 to ensure its speedy completion.
The Archbishop pledged to encourage the medical doctors in the church to pay occasional visits to the children to provide them with free medical care to enable them to grow strong and healthy at all times.
He thanked the Director of the orphanage, Reverend Victor Ofori Amoah, for his selfless devotion to the children.
Reverend Amoah, for his part, thanked the Action Faith Ministries for the support, adding that the Archbishop had spent more than GH¢30,000 in the form of food and clothing on the orphanage.
“Without his support, life here would have been extremely difficult for all of us,” he said.
In a related development, Archbishop Duncan-Williams introduced his new wife to the congregation of his church yesterday.
They were received with spontaneous applause and cheers, amidst shouts of “Efata wo” (You deserve it).
Responding to the excitement displayed by members of the church, Archbishop Duncan-Williams reaffirmed his commitment to God and indicated that his new marriage had made him stronger in the Lord than before.
“I have always served the Lord and I feel even more resolved now to continue with my work as the leader of this great church of ours,” he pledged to the congregation.
The Archbishop told the church that he believed in the sanctity of marriage and would continue to talk about it for people to do what was just in the eyes of God.
Papa, as they call him, used the opportunity to bless the church and its members and asked them to hold fast onto the Lord, lay their problems before his throne and expect a miracle.
Archbishop Duncan-Williams, a divorcee, married Rosa Whitaker, the Founder of The Whitaker Group (TWG), a US consulting firm facilitating trade, investments and business in Africa, at a private ceremony in the US.
Several members of the church interviewed were of the view that “it was God who put the two together”.
They asked the public not to judge the action of the new couple but see what the two could do for the people using the Word of God as their weapon.
