The Chairman of the Local Council of Churches, Rev. Kwaku Twum Berimah expressed that, the time has come for Berekum to be united and come together to fight for a common goal, therefore calling for a prayer walk to pray and seek the face of God. He said as it happened in the days of Jehoshaphat in the Bible, Berekum though has been rejected for a very long time but with prayers, progress and development can be effected upon the people of Berekum by the hand of God. He thanked the people who took their time to participate in the Prayer Walk.
The Paramount Queen Mother of Berekum Traditional Area, Nana Akosua Ameyaahene III together with her sub-chiefs also thanked the local council of churches for such a program to seek the face of God on behalf of the town. She advised christians within the Municipality, as a matter of urgency to always pray for Berekum. She said, Berekum is sick and all should support in fighting that sickness. She said, after a short period of taking over as the Paramount Queen Mother, the cases she has been handling are that, most people in Berekum like invoking curses "Duabo" in the town and she has called for an abolition to such an evil attitude.
She said, in order to eradicate such an act from the town, a law has been instituted and anyone who will found culpable of invoking a curse will be charged an amount of Ghc1,000.00 and one box of schnapps to pacify the land. The Omanhemaa therefore believes that, this will help reduce and eradicate such evil practices from town. She also massively prayed for her town with her sub-chiefs and said, prayers is what she believes can bring development to Berekum.
The Secretary to the Council, Pastor Omane Achampong expressed how effective the program was and it was targeted to draw people living in Berekum from the 9 cardinal points of roads to the main center of Berekum Omaanhene's park in the form of a Prayer Walk to pray and destroy powers of Satan in the Municipality. He urged the people to keep supporting the local council of churches all the time in their programs.
