Apostle Robert Asampong celebrated Divine service with the youth on Sunday 2nd September, conducting the service based on the text Deuteronomy 4:29 “there you will look for the Lord your God, and if you search him with all your heart, you will find him”. He advised the youth to give in their all in serving God regardless of the temptations that come their way.
