Madam Dorcas Owusu Asare, (Young Women’s Coordinator) said that as a Church it is incumbent in them to reach out to patients, put smiles on their faces and assure them that with Christ they still have hope. They are of the strong believe that showing love to the needy equates showing love to Christ.
