The President of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ghana, Reverend John Shadrack Donkoh, has called on religious leaders to support government's efforts in creating jobs for the youth and not concentrate only on the spiritual welfare of their members.
He said the teeming youth unemployment in the country was becoming a worrying trend and the earlier something was done about it the situation, the better it would be for the country. "As most youth become idle, frustrated and poor, it hinders their closeness to participate in religious activities as well as contributing meaningfully towards the development of the country," he emphasised.
Reverend Donkoh made this remark on Sunday during a dedication ceremony of the church's ultra-modern new All Saint Lutheran Congregation building located at Anyaa in Accra.
The project, which included an AstroTurf and kitchen for the Lutheran Schools, formed part of the facelift projects for all Lutheran Schools.
