I came here years back to donate some items, shared the word of God and the second was when I came to have a program with them. I believe this is not going to be the end. I’m praying God helps us with funds for us to do more not for ourselves but for Him.We want them to also have the best so we will be back very soon,” she said.

We are really grateful for this offer.Beyond using it for utilities, it will also help our agriculture because we train the inmates here. We are so grateful for what you are doing for us. The project you have given us is invaluable and the only thing I can say is that the Almighty God should bless you.Anytime we fetch water from the borehole, God should bless you,” the commander said.
Mr. Isaac Twum-Ampofo, head of Ohemaa Mercy’s management team added;
“One thing Ohemaa Mercy Ministry does is fulfilling the task our master Jesus has given us. We want to do what God has asked us to do so we want to support the prison anyway we can.”
