CGN Awards Educational Grant to Mary Abena Bentum in Ghana
Church of God Network (CGN) is pleased to announce Mary Abena Bentum of Winneba, Ghana, as one of the newest recipients of a CGN education grant.
Mary, a 24-year-old member of the United Church of God, an International Association (UCG), is pursuing a Bachelor of Education in Geography Education at the University of Education, Winneba. CGN’s grant will help cover educational fees as she works toward completing her degree in December 2028.
