Naadu Mills donates Bibles to Otumfuo
Wife of late President John Evans Atta Mills, has
underscored the need for Ghanaians to maintain the
peace being enjoyed now, as the country await the
final judgment of the election petition at the
Supreme Court.

Mrs. Ernestina Naadu Mills, acknowledged that the
world as a whole necessarily needed that
ingredient of life adding, that at all times,
Ghana must strive for it.

Her call comes in the wake of calls by other
well-meaning Ghanaians to politicians and their
followers to accept the Supreme Court’s decision
no matter whose favour it is.

The ex-first lady said this when her “Ghana
First Lady High Schools Bible Project” train
landed at Yaa Asantewaa Senior High School (YASS),
in the Ashanti Regional capital Kumasi.

She prayed that every Ghanaian should act as an
instrument of peace to make Ghana a better place
for all.

“The world needs peace, Ghana needs peace
always. Let’s all resolve to be instruments of
peace wherever we are”, she said.

She was convinced the Bible holds the key to the
many challenges confronting Ghana, which includes
inter-tribal and communal conflicts, poverty,
disease, HIV-AIDS and many others.

To her, the donation of the customized Bibles to
students in Senior High Schools (SHS) is an
effective and passionate tool to reach out to
tomorrow’s leaders today, with the word of God
in hand to enable them shape up their lives the
Godly way, so as not to backslide.

Mrs. Mills’ donation to YASS follows other ones
made to the Aburi Girls, Achimota , Awudome and
New Juabeng Senior High Schools (SHS) in three
other regions.

The headmistress of YASS, Mrs. Elizabeth Malik,
commended Mrs. Mills for the initiative saying, it
was a sure way of her “acting in the seed of
Christ, the teacher”. She noted that her
presence and donation of the Bibles would serve as
a journey to strengthen their fate in God.

The Ashanti Regional Minister, Eric Opoku noted
that “the word of God was the only tool to
overcome the enemy” and pleaded with Mrs. Mills
to extend the donation to every SHS in the
country.

Aside the students, the ex-first lady paid a
courtesy call on the Otumfour Osei Tutu II at his
Palace at Manhyia, where she presented to him a
copy of the Bible.

In appreciation, Otumfour thanked her and
disclosed that in the past, the former first lady,
always donated to him a copy of “Daily Guide”,
a religious hand book by the Scriptural Union (SU)
of Ghana used in guiding Christians.

He was, however, not happy that along the line,
the Daily Guide was stopped, but was in another
breath appreciative that in place of that Mrs
Mills thought it wise to present a Bible.
