Strict ministry terms for prayer, community, testimony, and support.

1. Acceptance Of These Terms

By accessing the website, submitting a prayer request, sending a testimony, joining a WhatsApp or Telegram group, attending a Google Meet prayer watch, contacting the ministry, giving support, volunteering, or using any ministry content, you agree to these Terms of Use. These terms are intentionally strict because ministry trust is fragile. A person who comes for prayer may be grieving, sick, afraid, exposed, poor, young, elderly, confused, spiritually distressed, or in need of immediate protection. The rules therefore protect reverence, privacy, order, safety, truth, accountability, and Ghanaian compliance.

2. What The Ministry Does

Ogya Ntom Prayer Army connects people through structured online prayer, morning and evening watches, prayer requests, testimony, biblical encouragement, formation, events, digital community, and practical compassion. The ministry helps people pray, stand in agreement, share burdens, give thanks, learn consistency, and support vulnerable people through organized channels.

The ministry is not a hospital, clinic, law firm, bank, investment adviser, insurance provider, police station, court, emergency service, crisis shelter, or licensed counselling service. It is a Christian prayer ministry. Its role is spiritual encouragement, prayerful support, community connection, pastoral sensitivity, and responsible referral where needed.

3. Acceptable Use

• Submit genuine prayer requests for yourself or for others where you have a respectful and lawful reason to ask for prayer.
• Join prayer watches, online ministry channels, events, and community spaces with reverence, humility, patience, and respect for leadership instructions.
• Share testimonies that are truthful, consented, non-defamatory, and careful with third-party information.
• Give or support the ministry only through channels provided by the ministry and only from funds or property you are authorized to give.
• Contact the ministry for prayer, pastoral encouragement, community information, event questions, giving support, testimony corrections, or privacy requests.
• Use website content for personal spiritual growth, prayer, study, and encouragement, while preserving attribution and avoiding commercial misuse.

4. Prohibited Use

• Do not submit false prayer requests, fake testimonies, fabricated miracles, impersonated names, fraudulent donation details, or misleading claims.
• Do not use ministry channels to harass, shame, stalk, threaten, sexually exploit, financially exploit, or spiritually manipulate another person.
• Do not publish, forward, screenshot, or expose another person's prayer request, private testimony, donor detail, or pastoral conversation without permission.
• Do not use the website or groups for political campaigning, hate speech, ethnic hostility, religious abuse, illegal fundraising, pyramid schemes, spam, malware, phishing, or unauthorized advertising.
• Do not attempt to access restricted systems, scrape private data, interfere with forms, overload services, bypass security, or compromise accounts.
• Do not submit content that incites violence, promotes self-harm, exploits children, violates Ghanaian law, infringes intellectual property, invades privacy, or exposes confidential information.
• Do not pressure the ministry, volunteers, donors, prayer warriors, or vulnerable people for money, employment, immigration help, romantic attention, medical decisions, or private access.

5. Prayer Requests And Pastoral Boundaries

Prayer requests should be submitted truthfully, respectfully, and with only the information needed for prayer. If your request concerns another person, use restraint. Do not expose private facts, medical details, child information, intimate details, financial records, addresses, photographs, legal allegations, or confidential documents unless you have a responsible and lawful basis to share them.

The ministry may edit, summarize, anonymize, route, delay, decline, remove, or escalate requests when necessary for safety, confidentiality, moderation, prayer order, safeguarding, legal compliance, or ministry capacity. The ministry is not required to respond to every message, accept every request, keep every person in a group, publish every testimony, or provide personal follow-up in every matter.

7. Testimonies, Stories, And Public Content

Testimonies must be truthful, respectful, and submitted with authority to share. The ministry may edit a testimony for length, clarity, grammar, dignity, theological tone, privacy, search visibility, and safeguarding. The ministry may refuse to publish or may remove a testimony if it risks defamation, exposes children, identifies a third party without consent, reveals sensitive health or family matters, makes unverifiable claims, creates safety risk, misleads the public, or conflicts with ministry values.

By submitting testimony content, you confirm that you have the right to submit it and that publication will not violate another person's rights. You may ask for a testimony to be corrected, anonymized, or removed, and the ministry will review the request in light of privacy, legal, archival, and operational factors.

8. Giving, Support, Donations, And Gifts In Kind

The ministry may invite voluntary support for prayer work, events, digital infrastructure, community care, widows, orphans, vulnerable families, and other ministry needs. Giving must be free from manipulation. No donor should be told that a gift purchases a miracle, guarantees breakthrough, buys spiritual rank, prevents a curse, or gives control over ministry decisions.

• Giving is voluntary unless a specific paid event, resource, or support arrangement is clearly described before payment.
• No person should give under pressure, fear, manipulation, false prophecy, public shaming, or promise of a guaranteed miracle.
• Donors are responsible for confirming payment details before sending money or gifts. The ministry is not responsible for funds sent to impersonators, copied numbers, fake pages, or unauthorized accounts.
• Donation records may be retained for accountability, reconciliation, audit, tax, dispute, fraud prevention, and governance purposes.
• Refund requests are reviewed case by case. Completed voluntary donations may not be refundable where funds have already been used, committed, transferred, or recorded for ministry purposes, unless law or fairness requires otherwise.
• Restricted gifts may be refused, redirected with permission, or returned where the restriction is unlawful, impractical, unsafe, exploitative, reputationally harmful, or inconsistent with the ministry's mission.

9. Community Channels And Group Rules

WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Meet, phone, email, social media, and other ministry channels may have additional rules. Group administrators may remove posts, mute discussions, close threads, limit forwarding, remove members, restrict access, report abuse, or preserve evidence where needed for order, safety, privacy, or compliance. You must not scrape member lists, direct-message vulnerable members for private gain, harvest phone numbers, repost group content publicly, or turn a prayer space into an advertising channel.

10. Intellectual Property

Website text, design, graphics, logos, photographs, videos, devotionals, teachings, prayers, event materials, and ministry brand elements belong to the ministry or its licensors unless otherwise stated. You may use public ministry content for personal prayer, study, encouragement, and non-commercial sharing with attribution. You may not sell, repackage, scrape, impersonate, remove attribution, use the logo deceptively, create fake ministry pages, or suggest endorsement without permission.

11. User Content License

When you submit a prayer request, testimony, message, comment, photo, video, audio, document, or other content, you grant the ministry permission to receive, store, review, moderate, use, edit, display, publish, archive, and remove that content for the purpose for which it was submitted and for related ministry, safety, compliance, and administrative purposes. Public use of testimony content is subject to the privacy commitments in the Privacy Policy.

12. Privacy And Data Protection

Personal data is handled under the Privacy Policy. These terms incorporate that policy by reference. If you submit personal data, you agree that the ministry may process it for prayer, care, communication, testimony, giving, events, moderation, safeguarding, website operation, security, legal compliance, and administration as described there.

13. Ghana Compliance Orientation

The ministry seeks to operate responsibly in Ghana and to align its website and ministry administration with applicable laws, rules, and regulator expectations. Depending on the ministry's structure and activities at a given time, relevant bodies and frameworks may include:

• Data Protection Commission Ghana for data protection rights, data controller obligations, registration, privacy notices, safeguards, breach reporting, and compliance under the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843).
• Cyber Security Authority Ghana for cybersecurity incident reporting, online safety, cybercrime coordination, and cybersecurity obligations under the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038).
• Office of the Registrar of Companies for entity registration, filings, governance, beneficial ownership, and corporate administration under the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992) where applicable.
• Ghana Revenue Authority for tax, accounting, record keeping, donor documentation, and other revenue obligations where applicable.
• Department of Social Welfare and related welfare authorities where activities involve children, widows, orphans, vulnerable persons, social support, community welfare, or safeguarding referrals.
• National Communications Authority, electronic communications providers, mobile money providers, banks, and payment processors where communication, telecommunications, payment, or electronic transaction obligations apply.

Nothing in these terms should be read as a guarantee that a particular regulator has approved, licensed, audited, or endorsed the ministry unless that approval is expressly stated with current documentation.

14. Safeguarding, Children, And Vulnerable Persons

The ministry may refuse private access, remove a person from a group, decline a volunteer, report abuse, preserve messages, or contact appropriate help where conduct raises safeguarding concerns. Adults must not use ministry spaces to groom children, pursue sexual contact, request private images, isolate vulnerable persons, obtain money by pressure, or exploit prayer needs. Any content involving child sexual abuse, exploitation, serious threat, trafficking, or immediate harm is forbidden and may be reported.

15. Disclaimers

The ministry provides the website and channels on an "as is" and "as available" basis. The ministry does not promise that every page, form, link, group, payment provider, message, event, recording, or response will always be available, error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or current. Content may be updated, corrected, removed, delayed, or unavailable. Ministry content is spiritual and informational; it is not professional advice.

16. Limitation Of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the ministry, its leaders, volunteers, administrators, partners, and service providers are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary losses arising from use of the website, prayer channels, events, content, donations, communication platforms, third-party services, or inability to access ministry services. This limitation does not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

17. Suspension, Removal, And Enforcement

The ministry may warn, restrict, suspend, remove, block, report, or refuse service to any person who violates these terms, disrupts prayer order, threatens safety, misuses personal data, manipulates vulnerable people, impersonates the ministry, attacks systems, submits abusive content, or creates legal or reputational risk. Enforcement may happen without prior notice where urgency, safety, privacy, or legal duty requires it.

18. Changes To These Terms

These terms may be updated as the ministry grows, adds features, changes service providers, receives regulatory guidance, expands giving or event activity, improves safeguarding, or updates its governance. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms.

19. Contact

Questions, complaints, takedown requests, privacy concerns, testimony corrections, donation questions, and safeguarding concerns may be sent to [email protected]. Use the contact details on the website for phone or WhatsApp support. Do not include more sensitive information than is needed to identify and resolve the issue.
