Global women attend workshop

THE Women’s Ministry of the Global Evangelical Church has initiated moves to empower women in the church to be economically viable to contribute to poverty eradication among women.
As part of the initiative, the women have undergone a day’s training in wealth creation in Accra aimed at making them economically independent.
The programme brought together about 600 hundred women from various congregations of the church in Accra.
Speaking on the theme, “How to create and maintain wealth in an economic downturn”, the Secretary of the Accra Presbytery of the Women’s Ministry of the church, Mrs Patricia Tegbe-Agbo, said God had endowed Ghanaian women with a lot of creativity “but our problem is our inability to identify this potential and make ample use of it”.
She said women must not see wealth creation as the preserve of a certain class in society.
“You have immense abilities capable of transforming your own lives and that of the country,” she added.
She led the participants through some principles of wealth creation and how to sustain it, adding that until a person got the fundamentals of wealth creation right, it was impossible for anyone to create wealth for herself and her family.
Mrs Tegbe-Agbo told the women that wealth creation started with what one loved doing or would like to do and the first step, therefore, must be directed at doing what one loved to do or loving what one did best.
She encouraged them to be focused on whatever they were doing, adding that many people were not able to make it because they had divided attention, as a result of which they were unable to accomplish any of the many things they aspired to do.
She urged the women to be creative and original in all their doings in order to have a competitive edge at the market for the products they would create.
