Rev. Lewis Fiadjoe, the Director of Missions for the Christian Missions Resource Foundation (CMRF) and Regional Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) for Northern Ghana, celebrated his 60th birthday in an inspiring way. With the support of CMRF and other partner organisations, he organised impactful outreach activities to bring hope and relief to the less privileged, including inmates of the Tamale Central Prison and vulnerable groups in surrounding communities.
In Sang, Mion District, Rev. Fiadjoe visited the Nazareth Home for God's Children, where he treated children to a special feast. He also distributed clothing and other essential items to approximately 110 widows in the Savelugu Municipality.
At the Tamale Central Prison, he provided food supplies and facilitated a comprehensive medical screening for the inmates. The medical outreach at the prison helped 272 people, including 222 male inmates, 10 female inmates, and 40 officers. The services included general check-ups, checking vital signs, eye tests, free medicines, and counselling.
Speaking during the outreach at the prison, Rev. Fiadjoe shared his motivation for the acts of kindness, saying it was his way of reflecting God’s love and expressing gratitude for the grace that has shaped his life. He explained that his commitment to helping the poor and marginalized stems from biblical principles, particularly the teachings of Matthew 25:35, which emphasise care for the vulnerable.
Rev. Fiadjoe further remarked that God had placed it strongly on his heart to demonstrate love to those in need as part of his 60th birthday celebration. He expressed that his life has been enriched by God’s unmerited favour, and giving back was the most meaningful way to honour that blessing.
Superintendent David Kwame Afatsawu, the Northern Regional Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Prisons Service, praised Rev. Fiadjoe for his thoughtful intervention. He highlighted the significant challenges the prison faces, including a lack of learning materials, health services, and water due to a broken pumping system. He expressed hope that more philanthropic individuals and organisations would emulate such charitable efforts to address these pressing needs.
