The Gospel is the only means by which lives can be transformed and changed. When individuals are transformed, it trickles down to affect the whole community and nation at large. Development is not only about infrastructures and buildings. Development builds the personality of people through education to add value to their life. According to the United Nations, there are several indicators of development in nations called the SDG’s (sustainable development goals).
The Sustainable Development Goals or Global Goals are a collection of seventeen interlinked objectives designed to serve as a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future”. The SDGs are: no poverty; zero hunger; good health and well-being; quality education; gender equality; clean water and sanitation; affordable and clean energy; decent work and economic growth; industry, innovation and infrastructure; reduced inequalities; sustainable cities and communities; responsible consumption and production; climate action; life below water; life on land; peace, justice, and strong institutions; and partnerships for the goals. The SDGs emphasize the interconnected environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable development by putting sustainability at their center. Source: Wikipedia.
The organization, Missions Today’s core value is to reach out to lost souls and lead them to Christ as the Lord has already commanded. More so, we educate mothers, pregnant women and children in order to reduce the infant and maternal mortality rate in communities. We do these by sending professional doctors, nurses and other health workers to rural communities who are deprived of this basic right. on the 21st of April 2023, a team of missionaries embarked on a gospel crusade in Gyedua Asamang and the nearby villages in Wassa Akropong Municipalities in the western region of Ghana.
Over one hundred children together with their mothers were medically screened, fed, educated on common diseases among children and clothed as well. This exercise attracted the chief of the entire community, the MCE and the other dignitaries. It also became a tool for evangelism where mothers and children were ministered to through the preaching of the Gospel.
