The youth has been challenged not to resort to insults when expressing their view on the country’s economic challenges but instead use dialogue in finding solutions to every problem. Dedication a new Church building for the Kwakuri Methodist Society in the Asutifi North District of the Ahafo Region, the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church in Ghana, Most Rev. Paul Kwabena Boafo further urged the youth to be discipline at all times.

 The Kwakuri Methodist Society which falls within the Kenyasi Circuit of the Goaso Diocese was started by the Methodist Youth Fellowship (MYF) of the Calvary Society of Kenyasi No. 2 in 2010.  It started with seven members in this small structure which could just take three benches. The Church structure presented a challenge as apart from its small size, it deteriorated very fast.  

The MYF at the National level as part of their 70th Anniversary undertook to construct two Church buildings for Societies started by the MYF, with the Kwakuri Society selected to benefit.  The Construction started in 2016 and five years later and 200,000 Ghana Cedis spent, this is the result, arguably the most modern building in the Kwakuri area. According to the immediate Past President of the MYF, Mr. Benjamin Nana Yamoah, they adopted various innovative strategies to raise funds for the project.  

The Chairman of the MYF, Robert Adu Acheampong also urged the church to ensure effective maintenance of the new church edifice

Methodists including the Clergy and the Laity from all over the old Bono Ahafo area and beyond converged on kwakuri for the dedication of the new Chapel. The dedication was performed by the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church Ghana, Most Rev Dr. Paul Kwabena Boafo before the Congregation was ushered into the new building for the service.

In a sermon, the Presiding Bishop urged Ghanaians to take the upcoming National Population Census seriously. He also noted laxity in adherence to the Covid19 preventive measures especially in the rural areas and called for a renewed effort to abide by the preventive measures since Covid19 remains a threat. Most Rev. Boafo was full of commendation for the MYF, for not only bringing the gospel to deprived Kwakuri but adding a purpose-built Church Auditorium wholly financed by them.
