The launch was attended by key leaders within the stake, including President Dennis Appiah Kubi, the Second Counselor in the Stake Presidency; Brother Emmanuel Amissah Forson, Specialist for the Tema Campus Institute; Sister Thornton, a YSA Gathering Place Missionary; and Brother Prince Mensah, the S&I Coordinator responsible for the stake. Their collective messages echoed the importance of the Campus Institute and the vital role it plays in the lives of YSAs.

In his remarks, President Appiah Kubi emphasized the need for young adults to be involved in the Institute’s activities to strengthen their spirituality and interpersonal relationships. He highlighted how the Institute is not only a place for learning gospel principles but also a setting for personal growth and self-discovery. Brother Forson and Brother Mensah, tasked with overseeing the institute, echoed similar sentiments, underscoring that participation in the various programs offered at the campus would shape the participants’ spiritual, social, and emotional well-being.

The launch was a milestone for the stake and the YSA community. It marks a significant step in the stake’s efforts to provide meaningful opportunities for YSAs to grow spiritually, socially, and emotionally. They introduced two flagship programs that will undoubtedly expand into other programs in the future.

Morning Program: Breakfast with the Prophet

The first program, titled “Breakfast with the Prophet,” a spiritually enriching experience that connects the YSAs with messages from modern-day prophets. This program will give the participants an opportunity to reflect on the teachings of church leaders and apply them to their daily lives. Over breakfast, they will delve into prophetic counsel, strengthening their commitment to gospel living.

Afternoon Program: Missionary Preparation Class

For the second program in the afternoon, attention will shift to missionary work, with a comprehensive “Missionary Preparation Class“. This class is designed to prepare YSAs for full-time missionary service, as well as to instill a deeper understanding of sharing the gospel. The practical lessons will help participants gain confidence in their ability to teach and serve.

Engaging Activities to Build Unity

The second part of the event was directed by two dynamic facilitators, Sisters Chloe and Hazel Alafegha-Quakumey, who are siblings from the Batsona 2 Ward YSA, organized fun and engaging activities for the YSAs. These activities not only encouraged teamwork and strengthened friendships but also created a lively and enjoyable atmosphere for all in attendance.

As the programs expand in the coming months, YSAs are encouraged to fully engage and participate, knowing that the institute is dedicated to helping them build a solid foundation for the future.

The leadership of the Tema Ghana Stake looks forward to seeing the positive impact the Campus Institute will have on the young adults as they continue their journey towards maturity and spiritual strength.
