Divine Word Ministry Leads The Way To Make A Difference In The Lives Of The Needy

Some believe in amassing wealth, others believe in getting the best things in life but there is a man of God who believes in giving his best to the community. From his humble beginnings in Ghana he has risen within a short span to be one of the most sought after ministers of this age. His deep passion to assist the needy has made his Divine Word International Ministry a household name in the United States.
The Divine Word Ministry under the able leadership of Bishop Dr. Kofi Adonteng Boateng recently embarked on a mission to make provision for orphans, widows and homeless shelters in the community borne out of his concern and desire to be an inspiration to all manner of people regardless of race.
It would be recalled that a delegation from the ministry travelled to Ghana in 2011 and donated items including clothes, cooked food, canned food and presented checks to orphanages in Kumasi and Accra. In addition to the donations, they also paid medical bills for many patients at the country's premiere hospital who were waiting to be discharged.
Since the beginning of the year 2012, the ministry has not relented in their efforts to reach out to the needy.
Drawing inspiration from the book of James 1:27 which says “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained from the world” his selfless devotion to the poor and needy has earned him and his ministry accolades beyond measure.
The Bishop has personally led his entire ministry to various homeless shelters within the Washington Metro area to clean up and also make provision for the residents of homeless shelters in the community. He prays for the residents, inspire them, and provide food as well as basic hygiene needs.
On Saturday, September 29, 2012 the Bishop led an army of worshippers to the Baileys crossroads homeless shelter and touched many lives.
They donated several boxes of canned food, organized a cleanup of the premises, prayed and touched the lives of the residents some of whom openly saw the gesture as a transformational moment in their lives. According to a resident “We are people in great need, there's no doubt about that, as such your provision for us is truly a God send”
The community Shelter, a 50-bed, emergency homeless shelter for adult men and women is located in the city of Falls Church in the Fairfax County. Bishop Adonteng and his ministry's provision goes a long way to assist and restore hope to the residents.
The Director of the shelter expressed her profound appreciation for the gesture and mentioned that the exemplary devotion to the needy is worthy of emulation.
According to the Bishop, “This is not going to be a nine day wonder because we are committed and inspired to carry this mission on to every part of the country on a regular basis.”
He continued “I am therefore appealing to each and everyone who shares this passion to join hands with us in making a difference in the lives of the needy”
