The National Cathedral project’s Board of Trustees member Reverend Dr Joyce Aryee expresses optimism that donations won’t be affected by the nation’s current economic crisis.
Rev. Aryee expressed her optimism that people will continue to donate to the project despite the economic difficulty at a news conference in Accra to announce the opening of a contact centre for the initiative. She cited the tenacity of people in worse circumstances as inspiration.
“You know, human beings are so resilient. I am 76. I have lived through worse economic times in our country, therefore, I know economic times are as transient as the seasons of life,” she said.
She added that: “God has a way of touching our lives in ways that sometimes we don’t understand. We are still going to church, aren’t we? And we are still making donations, aren’t we? But times are difficult and that’s what gives me hope that never mind how difficult times are, some people will willingly support me. And that’s what we are looking for.
“We are looking for willingness, we are not looking to pressurize anybody. That’s how God also works. He deals with people who are willing to do what needs to be done.”
