The Calling Received, As Department/Committee Workers Of Hum: The Inter-Departmental Teamwork (IDT) Culture In Perspective

Features

The concept and slogan, "All things to all People", of the Home and Urban Missions (HUM), is inspired by Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23. Paul, a Jew by birth and an apostle to the Gentiles by calling, subjected himself to the law of Christ, which transcends boundaries, cultures, social classes, and people groups. As a Jew and an apostle, Paul was entitled to many rights, privileges, usages, and laws.

Through the leadership of the Chairman and the Executive Council of the Church, HUM was birthed in May 2019 at the 16th Extraordinary C...

In a compelling address at the Pentpreneur Conference 2025, the immediate past First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Maxwell Opoku-Afari, stressed the need for businesses to repay their loans. ‘When you go to the bank to borrow, it is not for free—pay.
