Christ Embassy has begun the celebration of this year's Love World International Day of Service to honour the founder and leader of the Church, Rev. Dr. Chris Oyakhilome, on his birthday.
The occasion is used to win souls for Christ while giving meaning to the lives of millions around the world.
According to the Regional Pastor of the Christ Embassy Church in Accra, the event will run concurrently in all Christ Embassy churches, also known as the Loveworld Nation, across the world, including Ghana, from November 30, 2022, to December 7, 2022.
"The Love World International Day of Service is an initiative of the Love World Nation to honour the founder and leader of the church, Rev. Dr. Chris Oyakhilome, for his dedicated service to the word of God on his birthday and also to win souls for Christ."
"It was first launched in December 2013 and has been adopted as an annual event," the Regional Pastor for Christ Embassy in Accra, Biodun Lawal told JoyNews.
He said: "As a people we have been raised in a culture of service and we know the value of investing in someone else's life to the end that they may be saved and the Love World International Day of Service is a God given opportunity to give someone's life a meaning."
Some follow-up events include community service such as the cleaning of some streets and gutters within Accra, donation of some mosquito nets, free medical check-ups, the donation of food items and some toiletries to some orphanages, and ministering the word of God to the world.
"The love world day of service will require us to roll up our sleeves in service and win souls for Christ while discharging service of kindness such as community clean up exercise where members of the church will be required to clean market places, donation of free mosquito nets and some hygiene packs to male and female wards.
"We will also engage in school clean-up exercises, the installation of safety gadgets in some schools, and the donation of food items to shelter homes," Pastor Biodun Lawal said.
