At Christmas and even before the festive season, lots of churches advertise their programs on radio and television inviting people to attend. As if the above is not enough, majority who can’t afford advertisement on the above networks also advertise via posters on every available space [walls] in Ghana despite the fact most of these walls have inscriptions on them indicating no posters allowed.
After my friend’s (Kwaku) ordeal with a pastor, it has changed my perception about going to church. Anytime I see people rushing to church on Sundays, it makes me laugh my heart out. I know it’s weird, but must church activities be advertised? Must church activities be forced down the throats of the would-be-congregations?
Now churches are springing up on daily basis in Ghana. Every available space i.e. cinemas and football playing fields are/has been turned to a church premise. I know very soon, just very soon, nightclubs will be evaded by these pastors. It’s just a matter of time.
