Religious leaders, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), and hundreds of Ghanaians converged at the Calvary Charismatic Centre (CCC) Auditorium in Ayigya today to mark the “National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving”,  a spiritual event dedicated to seeking divine direction for Ghana’s progress.

Held under the theme “Reflect, Reset and Renew for National Prosperity,” the solemn ceremony brought together Clergy, Christian leaders, government officials, and worshippers from across the Ashanti Region. The occasion provided a national platform for intercession, moral reflection, and a renewed commitment to a faith-driven transformation agenda.

Sosu, Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), led a solemn prayer for the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary, focusing on divine guidance and realigned priorities in national governance.
