Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word and Power Ministry, Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah, has donated some food items to help church members staying home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a report sighted by YEN.com.gh on UTV, the renowned Ghanaian pastor indicates that it has become relevant to embark on the exercise, realizing that many people are unable to get food to eat when they don't go out every day to work.
The pastor and his team gathered Ghana-made rice, oil, indomie, sardine and other essential foodstuffs into countless rubber packs that were distributed to community members.

Owusu Bempah also mentioned that his church members are unable to gather together for services because of the ban on social gatherings by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Regardless, he mentioned that it had become necessary to bring them together and share the foodstuff to them so that they do not die out of hunger.
He mentioned that the members who were unable to come to the venue where the items were being distributed, were followed up and given the goodies.
