Pastors on the ground tell us the government is the one that determines the business and functioning of the chapel 100%. The church was your last open space exactly where people could meet plus freely talk in personal without the government interference. There is certainly so much fear among believers that even when people go to at home, they are afraid to keep hands and pray lest they be accused of getting church in their homes. This really is after over 6, 1000 churches were closed! ”, a local church coalition’s mentioned in a statement sighted simply by MyNewsGh. com.
