The seminar was hosted to support the United Nations’ plans to continue the promotion and maintenance of world peace and sensitization of its members on the following subjects: prevention and restriction of child trafficking, humanitarian relief efforts towards natural disasters, mental health and wellness, the preservation and promotion of agricultural endeavors.
Those in attendance shared in worship and listened to H.E Amb Prophet Dr. Martin Kofi Danso as he thanked the attendees for their support and their efforts. During the inauguration, he was presented with an official letter of appointment as an International EminentPeace Ambassador, an official letter to attend the United Nations Conference in New York in March 2023, the flag of the United Nations that was hoisted onsite, and the seal of a Global Diplomat.
“This is going to bring us closer to touching the world with the love of Jesus,” said H.E Amb Prophet Dr. Martin Kofi Danso with a smile. “Thank you guys who are serving others.”
H.E Amb Prophet Dr. Martin Kofi Danso shared that with this new title and the support of the United Nations, he now has the ability to travel to countries in crisis and provide aid to those who otherwise would have no voice and no one else to help them.
“As we receive this mandate, God will help us,” said H.E Amb Prophet Dr. Martin Kofi Danso. “Such things like this will not go unheard, the nations of this world will hear, having the support I have with me, we will be able to come to those places and make sure these atrocities will not happen again. I want to thank the UN for appointing people like us to make sure issues like this never happen again.”
Among some of the initiatives that His Excellency’s office will now be advocating for, the safeguarding of religious rights and freedoms of the people will be at the forefront. H.E Amb Prophet Dr. Martin Kofi Danso shared that as wide as the scope of this vision may appear, there remains other groups that are not yet part of the discussion relating to the representation of the voiceless, these include the vulnerable populations such as single mothers, impoverished youth and young adults, the indigenous population that lack access to the necessary tools and resources which can help them build for a sustainable tomorrow. H.E Amb Prophet Dr. Martin Kofi. Danso shared that the goal is to be a catalyst of change through practical contributions to freedom, peace, security, and stability in our communities, in our states and, around the world. In meeting with state officials, members of parliament, legislative authorities, law enforcement agents, and media representatives, it will provide the opportunity to fashion the right to freedom of expression as an intuitive realization and to enlarge competencies in fostering social dialogue. This understanding will give birth to respected observances for freedom of expressions, sustainable human development, and the promotion of international peace and security.
