BONWIRE DISTRICT REACHES OUT TO HOMEBOUND MEMBERS
Bonwire District is a newly established district of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, with Pastor David Papa Yaw Arkoh serving as its first district pastor. As the district continues to establish its identity and strengthen its mission, leadership has demonstrated that the work of the church extends beyond the walls of the sanctuary. In keeping with the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to care for people spiritually, emotionally, and socially, the leadership of Bonwire District embarked on a special visitation programme to reach out to members who have been unable to attend church regularly due to illness, advanced age, and difficult circumstances.
As part of the initiative, the district pastor, together with elders and church members, visited eight homebound members across the district. The visits provided an opportunity for the church family to identify with members in their moments of difficulty and to remind them that they remain an important part of the body of Christ. During each visit, a token was presented to the member as a gesture of love and support. Although the contribution may have been modest, it represented the collective care, concern, and willingness of the church family to share in the burdens of those who are going through challenging seasons.
The visitation was also a time of spiritual encouragement. Prayers were offered for healing, strength, peace, and divine intervention, while words of motivation and hope were shared with each member. The homebound members were encouraged not to lose faith in God because of their present circumstances, but to continue trusting Him for better and brighter days. The initiative demonstrated the importance of the church being present with its members not only during celebrations, but also during times of sickness, hardship, loneliness, and uncertainty.
The Bonwire District appreciates the commitment of Pastor David Papa Yaw Arkoh, the district elders, and all church members who contributed from their limited resources to bring comfort and smiles to the faces of the homebound. Their actions reflect the spirit of Christian love and the biblical call to “bear one another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2). May this spirit of compassion continue to grow within Bonwire District, making the church a true source of hope, encouragement, and practical support to everyone within its care. May God richly bless all who contributed to this worthy cause and strengthen the district as it continues to advance the mission of Christ.
