The Christ Pentecostal International Church (CPIC) has launched an educational fund to support brilliant but needy children in the church.
The fund which was launched at the climax of the 25th Anniversary celebrations of the Church headquartered in New York America formed part of efforts of the church to ensure that the church will train more professionals.
Founder and Leader of the Church, Bishop Ebenezer Adarkwah who launched the fund urged congregants to wholeheartedly contribute to the fund as proceeds will be used to care for children in the church to the University level.
Bishop Adarkwah explained that he has the human resource development of the church at heart hence his decision to ensure that the scholarship has a seed capital of GHC 200,000.
Bishop Adarkwah and his family contributed up to 10% of the seed money for the scholarship scheme and encouraged other congregants to do same.
He explained that the scholarship will mainly focus on tertiary education as the Senior High School education is already free.
To this end, Bishop Adarkwah entreated the gathering to support the free SHS education policy of the Akufo-Addo government.
The chief of Kade in the Kwaebibirim Municipality of the Eastern Region, Nana Osabarima Agyadu Tenadu II who was the guest of honour at the event also contributed meaningfully to the cause and urged his subjects to support the fund.
Congregants of the Church from home and abroad also contributed meaningfully to the cause.
