The Tema Greenwich Meridian District in the Tema Area of The Church of Pentecost has honored Deacon Charles Addae of Safo Memorial Temple for being the 2nd National Best Soul Winner of The Church of Pentecost in 2023.
Deacon Charles Addae singlehandedly led 77 persons to accept Christ last year and ensured that 64 of the new converts were baptised in water.
He was honoured during the climax of the 2nd District Week, dubbed the “Gathering of the Unleashed,” on July 14, 2024, at Safo Memorial Temple, Tema. The theme for the program was “We Are A People Of God” with 1 Peter 2:9 and Philippians 3:20 as scriptural references.
Delivering the sermon on Sunday, July 14, 2024, on the topic “End Time Events,” the guest preacher, Pastor Emmanuel Kyei Boate, the Barekese District Minister, delved into the signs of the end times, including the rise in deception, the appearance of false messiahs, the prevalence of wars, famines, earthquakes, increasing crime rates, and believers growing cold toward the things of God.
He extensively quoted scriptures, including 2 Timothy 3:16 and 2 Timothy 1:10, emphasizing that people now prefer to hear pleasing messages, leading to the spread of various fables. He urged the congregation to guard against hollow teachings and false doctrines.
Concluding his sermon, he cited 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, and Daniel 9:27, explaining the Church’s anticipation of the rapture and the grave consequences of missing it.
The service also marked a significant transition for the C3 Assembly and Peniel (MPWDs) Assembly, which will be carved from Tema Greenwich Meridian District to become a Worship Centre in September.
During the event, some distinguished personalities were also honored by the Men’s Ministry (PEMEM). They were: Brother Samuel Grant: Most Promising Father for the year 2024 – Faithful Giants, Elder Frank Adu Gyamfi: Most Punctual and Consistent in PEMEM from 2013-2023, and Elder Akwasi Boaten-Sekyerehene: Most Influential and Committed Father for the year 2023.
Additionally, past District Ministry Executive Committee Members who have served in various capacities were recognised. They included former District Youth Leader, Elder Isaac Addae, and Assistant Youth Leader, Elder Humphrey Lomotey.
The service ended successfully with a powerful session of worship and adoration led by Pastor Emmanuel Kyei Boate, leaving the congregation spiritually enriched and uplifted.
The District Minister, Pastor Dr. Suleman De-Graft Issaka, commended the District for their support for Vision 2028. Present was his wife, Mrs. Esther Issaka, the District Executive Committee Members, and the District Mass Choir.
