Founder of The Word of Truth and Prayers (TWOTAP) Ministry, Evangelist Francis Awusi, has launched a major welfare initiative aimed at supporting widows and orphans within the Christian community, committing GH¢800,000 every month to the programme.
The initiative, dubbed “Care for Widows and Orphans,” is expected to benefit 2,000 widows and orphans, each receiving a monthly stipend of GH¢400. Beneficiaries will include both members and non-members of the TWOTAP Ministry, as part of efforts to ease the financial burden on vulnerable individuals amid prevailing economic challenges.
The announcement was made on Wednesday at a press briefing in Kumasi, where Evangelist Awusi stressed the need for the Church to complement spiritual teachings with tangible social support.
“This is the Church in action,” he said. “Faith without compassion is incomplete. Where pain is deepest, the Church must be felt.”
Evangelist Awusi, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Holy TV, explained that the programme was partly a response to public criticism that churches focus more on enriching leadership than addressing the needs of congregants and society at large.
He noted that beyond financial assistance, the initiative would offer spiritual counselling and continuous monitoring to ensure the holistic well-being of beneficiaries.
According to him, the intervention was inspired by what he described as a divine directive received last year, urging him to take personal responsibility for the care of 2,000 widows and orphans.
Evangelist Awusi called on individuals, corporate bodies and institutions to partner with the TWOTAP Ministry to sustain and expand the programme.
“There are people suffering silently in our society,” he said. “There is more blessing in giving than in receiving. Let us rise to support them.”
The launch has attracted widespread public interest, with observers describing the initiative as one of the most ambitious church-led welfare programmes in recent years, and a bold step towards redefining the role of the Church in social intervention and community development.
