Divorce or general challenges in close relationships are no where an easier thing to deal with. People make commitments to stay together and pursue life as a team, and when this process gets truncated along the way, either by separation, misunderstanding, divorce or even death, it can have a lasting toe on the individuals life.
Several persons have had psychological challenges as many are in our hospitals. Some have taken bad decisions that has brought them pain and shame. However, we are thankful for the blessed life of Dr. Joyce Aryee.
The divorce and finally serving her time at the Chamber of Mines had eventually afforded her enough time to focus on what she thought was her life's greatest purpose.
Since then, her Salt & Light Ministry has held several programs, usually chorale themed gospel concerts, where gospel songs are sang, God praised and a soothing and instructional word from God shared to bless the hearts of the many participants.
in her last two public appearances well recorded, were her involvement in a Citi TV famed program to gather believers all over Ghana to interceded for a peaceful elections on TV & online.
