He expressed appreciation to past leaders for their dedicated service, noting their role in the successful completion of key projects.
“Our past executives have done so much to lift high the banner of Ga Presbytery YAF. A notable highlight is the completion of the pavilion project in Somsei in the Kwahu Presbytery,” Mr. Ibrahim stated. He further pledged to sustain and complete ongoing initiatives, including the Fellowship’s flagship Piggery Project, while committing to expanding the impact of YAF across the Presbytery and beyond.
