Maseru, Jan 05 — The Anglican Church of Lesotho (ACL), St. Mary and St. James Cathedral has called youth, especially boys, to worship this New Year and beyond.
This was said by the Dean, The Very Reverend Ralebakeng Ramabanta during the first Sunday service commencing the New Year.
According to the Dean, the Church acknowledges this year spiritually as a time for all to increase their faith, pray more and worship God.
He alluded that the major challenge facing the youth today, especially boys, relates to use and abuse of drugs, indicating the Church has a role to ensure that such challenges are tackled.
He explained that it is time the youth introspect their ways of doing things, and consider coming to Church as a refuge against drugs and other life threatening challenges facing them today.
“Nothing is too hard for the Lord, with one accord we can be able to reverse the situation amongst our future Leaders.”
The Dean’s point of view comes a few days after the Community of Khubetsoana through different opinion leaders took a stance and announced initiatives meant to tackle use and abuse of drugs amongst the youth.
The Agency has established that the Ministry of Health (MoH) is also making measures through youth drug survivors to campaign against drug usage amongst the youth.
