  "summary": "Chief of Staff Dr Julius Debrah has called for a strong government-church partnership to tackle national challenges in Ghana. He emphasized that issues such as poverty, teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, indiscipline, crime, and weakening family values require a national response, with the church playing an important role. During the opening ceremony of the 63rd annual session of the Ghana Baptist Convention, Debrah highlighted the historical contributions of the church in Ghana, noting that churches have established schools, skills training centers, hospitals, and introduced social interventions that support societal growth. He commended the leadership and members of the Ghana Baptist Convention for their part in the nation's development and encouraged them to expand into more important works, particularly in healthcare, education, sanitation, and social welfare.",
