– A 45- year -old Methodist Minister, the Very Reverend Nana Addo Acquah, has been inducted into office as the Adjoafua Circuit Superintendent Minister in the Bia West District of the Western North Region.
The Very Rev. Acquah was initially responsible for only a society in the Sefwi Bekwai Diocese but will now superintend over Methodist Church activities in 20 societies constituting the Circuit.
The Diocesan Bishop, Right Reverend Robert Felix Bassaw, who officiated, advised the newly inducted Minister not to lord it over his congregation but humble himself and work with the members towards the growth of the Circuit, physically and spiritually.

Rt Rev Bassaw entreated the new Superintendent Minister to exercise his office with love, sympathy and care for all the members without discrimination.
He implored the members to let unity continue to prevail before, during, and after the general election as Ghanaians went to the polls for the parliamentary and presidential elections in December, this year.
Very Rev Acquah, on his part, commended the Church for the honour done him and promised to discharge his duties effectively.
He, however, called for cooperation to enhance the spiritual upliftment of the Church.
