The Apire District, within the Kwadaso Area of The Church of Pentecost, has commemorated its 10th anniversary with a vibrant, spirit-filled celebration held from October 7 to 12, 2025, at the Central Church Auditorium.
Held under the theme, “10 Years of Thriving in the Faithfulness of God into the Unleashing Agenda,” the six-day event featured a range of activities including a health talk, float, games, praise and worship sessions, intercessory prayers, and a thanksgiving service. Renowned gospel artistes such as Kwaku Gyasi and Dorcas Appiah graced the occasion. The celebration concluded with a fundraising appeal for a community development project.
District Minister, Pastor Enock Eric Okrah, highlighted the anniversary’s purpose as a step towards launching a major community initiative under the Church’s ‘Possessing the Nations’ agenda. He expressed deep gratitude to God for His guidance over the past decade, recalling early challenges following the district’s separation from Santase, including the frequent loss of members. He joyfully noted that no deaths had been recorded in the past four years, attributing this to divine protection.
Pastor Okrah also shared his vision for the district’s future, hoping it will soon birth a new district and produce pastors from within its ranks. His ultimate desire is to see lives transformed through the gospel in the Apire enclave.
He extended appreciation to the Kwadaso Area Head of the church, Apostle Yaw Adjei-Kwarteng, and acknowledged past ministers of Santase, including Pastor Bright Kwame Ashong, Pastor Joseph Tibiru and his wife, as well as the Area pastorate and Apire members for their dedication.
Elder Emmanuel Ansu Boakye, District Secretary, also thanked the Apire community leadership for welcoming the church. He noted that prior to its establishment, no church had thrived in the area, but The Church of Pentecost has since brought significant spiritual and social blessings.
