The Deeper Christian Life Ministry has donated two giant LED screens to the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), fulfilling a pledge made during the university’s first-ever Interdenominational Thanksgiving Service held earlier this month.
The presentation took place at the Jophus Anamoah-Mensah Conference Centre and was hailed by university officials as a significant contribution that highlights the role faith-based organisations can play in supporting higher education and national development.
The equipment was formally handed over by a delegation from the church’s national headquarters led by Yaw Osei Owusu, who represented the ministry’s National Overseer. The delegation was received by UEW Vice-Chancellor Stephen Jobson Mitchual, Pro Vice-Chancellor Esther Yeboah Danso-Wiredu, university management, chaplaincy officials, and student representatives.
The donation originated from a commitment made by Pastor Dr. E.K. Tumsiah during the university’s maiden thanksgiving service. Recognising the need for modern communication and audiovisual tools, he pledged that the ministry would provide the LED screens to enhance activities at the conference centre.
Speaking on behalf of the National Overseer, Pastor Yaw Osei Owusu stated that the ministry was honoured to support an institution dedicated to training future leaders and professionals. He stressed that quality education must be accompanied by strong moral and ethical values to produce responsible citizens capable of contributing positively to society.
According to him, the donation symbolises the church’s commitment to promoting education while encouraging character development and integrity among young people.
Receiving the equipment, Professor Mitchual expressed appreciation to the ministry and described the gesture as unprecedented during his tenure as Vice-Chancellor. He noted that while universities are responsible for providing academic and professional training, religious institutions play an important role in shaping ethical values and discipline among students.
He further observed that many challenges facing tertiary institutions are linked to declining moral standards, making collaboration between educational institutions and faith-based organisations increasingly important.
The Vice-Chancellor added that the LED screens would benefit the wider university community by improving visibility and participation during lectures, conferences, worship services, ceremonies, and other large gatherings.
In addition to the screens, the ministry donated 600 copies of Daily Manna, a devotional guide authored by William Folorunso Kumuyi. The books will be distributed among staff to encourage spiritual growth, personal reflection, and ethical living.
A symbolic highlight of the ceremony was a special prayer of dedication led by Thomas Oppong. He prayed that the screens would not only serve as technological tools but also contribute to education, inspiration, character formation, and the development of responsible leaders.
The event concluded with both university and church leaders reaffirming their commitment to strengthening collaboration between academia and faith-based institutions. Participants described the donation as more than a gift of equipment, viewing it instead as a demonstration of shared values and a collective effort to nurture individuals who are academically accomplished, ethically grounded, and socially responsible.
Alongside the LED screens, the donation of 600 copies of Daily Manna further underscored the ministry’s commitment to supporting both intellectual and moral development within the university community.
