Seek Medical Care When Ill Rev Steve Mensah To Christians At Cape Coast Crusade

The Founding Bishop of the Charismatic Evangelistic Ministries (CEM), Rev. Steve Mensah, has encouraged Christians to seek medical treatment when ill, highlighting that relying on faith should not prevent one from accessing healthcare.

Speaking at a five-day non-denominational crusade and medical outreach organised by the CEM at the Adisadel College Park in Cape Coast, he emphasised that it was crucial to recognise the value of both medical intervention and faith-based healing.

The Cape Coast for Christ Crusade was organised in collaboration with the local council of churches in Cape Coast to preach Jesus Christ and support the vulnerable.

Rev. Mensah said it was time Christians understood that while miracles are vital, they should complement, rather than replace, the use of medicine.

The outreach combined medical services with spiritual nourishment, making it a significant event for the Cape Coast community.

A surgical team made up of 50 doctors, in collaboration with the Cape Coast Metro Hospital, began a series of surgeries over the five-day period. 

About 200 people suffering from conditions such as goitre, hernia and fibroid were treated at no cost. 

The initiative was designed to cater to individuals who otherwise might not have had access to such essential health services.
 
Alongside the surgeries, about 7,000 persons in and around Cape Coast received a wide range of relief items including clothing, mattresses, toiletries, food and wheelchairs.graphiconline
