A former Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Daniel Okyere Walker (retd), has stressed the vital role pastors’ wives play in enhancing the excellence of their husbands’ ministries.
Speaking at the Ministers’ Wives Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh near Kasoa, Apostle Dr Walker indicated that although the role of a pastor’s wife is not formally defined, it carries a profound responsibility. He encouraged pastors’ wives to offer wholehearted and excellent service in support of the ministry, reminding them that God rewards every act of service rendered in His name.
Delivering a message on the theme, ‘The Pastor’s Wife Serving for Eternal Rewards,’ the former Vice Chancellor of Pentecost University urged participants to cultivate a mindset of service, regardless of the challenges they may face.
‘The work of ministry is demanding and comes with numerous responsibilities. It has no fixed hours. Therefore, the pastor’s wife is expected to be a pillar of support, offering excellent service in every aspect,’ he stated.
Apostle Dr Walker outlined several key duties expected of pastors’ wives and stressed the importance of making sacrifices to win souls for Christ. He assured them that every act of service would be rewarded by God. Citing 1 Corinthians 9:20–23, he referenced biblical examples such as the Woman of Zarephath, Sarah and Abraham, Mary and Martha, and Dorcas—whose service to widows in Joppa brought them divine blessings.
‘Let us serve with a sacrificial mindset, knowing that our calling in ministry demands hospitality and unwavering dedication. Our labour is not in vain. In fact, when you serve with genuine interest, spiritual gifts can be transferred from the pastor to you. These gifts become sharper and serve as valuable assets to both the pastor’s ministry and the church,’ he concluded.
