Col Cyril Necku (Rtd), Deputy Volta Regional Minister, has appealed to the leadership of churches to fashion out �good social intervention strategies� to support needy members. �The practice of sharing things, which the early Christians observed judiciously, must not be put away or forgotten, but be demonstrated in our daily lives,� he said. Col. Necku said this at the close of the 2009 National Convention of the Lord�s Pentecostal Church International in Ho. The Convention was on the theme �Reaping the Harvest�. Col. Necku asked Christians to put the Christian maxim to be each other�s keeper into practice and refrain from only professing it. He said the ruling National Democratic Congress, which has a philosophy of social democracy, was designing new and pragmatic policies to ensure a better Ghana and called for support from all. Apostle Richard Buafor, General Overseer of The Lord�s Pentecostal Church International, urged Christians to act maturely, be peacemakers and not conflict and trouble causers. �We all must turn away from saying immature things and taking immature decisions so that we do not provoke others and offend God,� he said.
