A Brighter Future for The Presbyterian Junior Youth

The maiden awarding competition for the Presbytery Junior Youth “Preaching/Teaching” competition has proven that this Presbytery has a brighter future. After a series of training and practice, the Junior Youth within the Presbytery had a district competition to select two candidates for the 2021 Presbytery Competition. The colourful event was moderated by Rev. Dr. Kwabena Ofosu Addo (B/A Chairperson) and Rev. James Kwame Awuni (Upper Chairperson). In the end, the results were as follows:

BEST PREACHER CATEGORY

• 1^st – Lina Gyebi – (New Jersey District)
• 2^nd – Antoinette N. Odonkor- (Ohio – Illinoi District)
• 3^rd – Drusilla Ansah Nyarko – (Washington DCD)

BEST TEACHER CATEGORY

• 1^st – Ama Opoku Mensah – (Washington DCD)
• 2^nd – Gilbert Mensah – (Australia Sub – District)
• 3^rd – Nhyira Bawua – (California Sub- District).

In his address, the Presbytery chairperson, Rev. James Joseph Kumi Duodu, echoed that as part of motivation and continuity, the Presbytery has proposed a scholarship scheme for the youth and other ministries to “equip the saints.” He was optimistic that the initiative would boost the young people’s church participatory drive. Rev. Kumi Duodu admonished all and sundry to involve the children, Junior Youth, and YPG in our daily worship. “The Districts and local coordinators who coached these young ones deserve applause,…. we pray to sustain this program to build a solid foundation for the next generation,” he said.

Rev. Kumi Duodu promised to request the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana to present awards to the winners in September during his official to America. He added that Certificates of Participation would also be awarded to all the competitors and committee members.
