Presbyterian Church of Ghana launches
Channel of Hope TV programme
Accra, Oct. 17, Ghanadot/GNA - Presbyterian Church of Ghana
(PCG) on Wednesday launched its maiden television programme
meant to address the holistic and spiritual needs to
transform society.
The television programme dubbed: "Channel Of Hope" forms
part of the church's evangelism mission of achieving 10 per
cent annual membership growth for the church
The Rev. Emmanuel Darkwa, Acting Moderator, PCG, who
performed the launch, noted that the TV Ministry had been on
the church's drawing board for a long time.
He said the programme was a well researched and mature
spiritual product that would meet the needs of its members
and the Christian community.
Rev. Darkwa said, "Channel Of Hope" was centred on the
day-to-day Christian life experiences and encounters to
serve as a model around which Christians and non-Christians
alike would build their lives in Christ.
He said global economic condition and its impact on Africans
had made several Christians to doubt the power of God and
the programme would act as a fort to build Christian
confidence and tenacity to enhance their spiritual growth.
Rev. Darkwa said lack of control and censorship of
programmes on the screens had resulted in many acts of
nudity and obscenity among the youths and urged government
to partner churches to work hard to stop the situation.
"Our appeal therefore to corporate institutions is that it
should rather invest in character building and discipline
oriented programmes such as Channel of Hope," he said.
Mr Dominic Ansah-Asare, Chairperson of the PCG TV Ministry
Committee, said the programme came in four seasons. The
first season had thirteen episodes, which would include
drama, panel discussion, public opinion, interviews,
documentary and songs.
He said the programme, which starts airing on October 20 at
1330 hours on TV3, would also be available on DVDs, CDs and
on the church's website for interested persons to purchase.
Mr Ansah Asare said counselling centres had also been
established to help people in that regard.
An eight-member committee was inaugurated to ensure
effective management of the programme.
The members are Mr Dominic Ansah-Asare, Chairperson, The
Rev. Godfried Bamfo, Mr Yaw Frempong Boakye, Matilda Asante,
George Martinson, S. A. Newman, Emmanuel Acheampong and The
Rev. Kofi Antwi.
