President John Dramani Mahama is today, July 1, leading the inaugural edition of Ghana’s National Day of Prayer, a new initiative designed to bring the nation together in spiritual reflection, unity, and renewed hope amidst current social and economic challenges.
The event has attracted a broad spectrum of participants, including religious leaders, political figures, civil society organizations, and members of the general public. It will feature interfaith prayers focused on themes of peace, economic recovery, national cohesion, and moral renewal.
The Christian interdenominational service began at 8:00 a.m. at the forecourt of the State House in Accra, while the Islamic prayer session will be held at 12:00 noon at the National Mosque, also in the capital.
The National Day of Prayer was graced by two esteemed religious leaders: His Eminence Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson, a prominent figure in global Catholic leadership and peace advocacy, and His Eminence, the National Chief Imam, Dr. Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, Ghana’s revered Islamic spiritual leader.
The National Day of Prayer is expected to become an annual event, offering Ghanaians of all faiths a platform to come together in solidarity and seek divine intervention for the nation’s progress.
Among the prayers, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, Founder of Action Chapel International (ACI), prayed that Ghana be great to the extent that Ghanaians will not travel abroad before they survive.
President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council, Apostle Eric Nyamekye also prayed that Ghana prosper through religion and righteousness.
