Evangelist Awusi Launches Welfare Scheme For 2K Widows In Kumasi, Set To Spend GHs 800,000 Monthly

Founder of The Word of Truth and Prayers (TWOTAP) Ministry, Evangelist Francis Awusi, has unveiled a far-reaching social intervention committing GH¢800,000 every month to support widows and orphans across the Christian community.

The initiative, dubbed “Care for Widows and Orphans,” will provide a monthly stipend of GH¢400 to 2,000 beneficiaries, comprising both members and non-members of the TWOTAP Ministry. The programme is aimed at cushioning vulnerable widows and orphans against the country’s growing economic pressures.

The announcement was made on Wednesday at a press briefing in Kumasi, where Evangelist Awusi said the church must go beyond preaching and become a visible source of relief to those in distress.

“This is the Church in action,” he declared. “Faith without compassion is incomplete. Where pain is deepest, the Church must be felt.”

Evangelist Awusi, who also serves as Chief Executive Officer of Holy TV, described the intervention as a direct response to public criticism that churches focus more on enriching leaders than supporting congregants.

According to him, the programme is designed not only to offer financial assistance but also to provide spiritual guidance and close follow-up to ensure the holistic well-being of beneficiaries. He revealed that the initiative was inspired by what he termed a divine instruction received last year, directing him to take personal responsibility for the care of 2,000 widows and orphans.

Calling for broader support, the evangelist appealed to individuals, institutions and corporate organizations to partner with TWOTAP Ministry to expand and sustain the programme.

“There are people crying silently in our society,” he said. “There is more blessing in giving than receiving. Let us rise and help them.”

The launch has generated widespread attention, with many observers describing the programme as one of the most ambitious church-led welfare interventions in recent times, and a bold attempt to redefine the role of the church in social support and community development.
