Pastor Musa Yahaya, the National Secretary for the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, has called on Christians to intensify efforts in reaching all people with the gospel message, including those behind prison walls, describing evangelism as a divine responsibility that knows no boundaries.
He made the call during a Gospel Heralds Training Session held in preparation for the upcoming Tamale for Christ Crusade.
Drawing inspiration from Romans 10:9–10, Pastor Yahaya emphasised that faith in Christ—believing with the heart and confessing with the mouth—leads to righteousness before God.
According to him, while many have received salvation and stand righteous before God, some remain confined by the laws of men within prison facilities. “Though free in Christ, these brethren remain bound in the physical world,” he said.
Pastor Yahaya noted that this reality highlights the urgency of the Church’s mandate to proclaim the gospel everywhere, including to those who are physically imprisoned.
He urged believers to heed The Church of Pentecost’s Unleashing Agenda, which challenges Christians to take the gospel beyond traditional spaces and impact lives in every sphere of society.
“The righteousness that the gospel imparts is the greatest form of freedom anyone can receive. It transcends earthly prisons, governments, and societies,” he stated, adding that the Church must act with passion, faith, and courage to fulfil its calling.
He further encouraged Christians to see evangelism not merely as a duty but as an act of love that brings spiritual liberation and often leads to social transformation.
“Our mission as Christ’s heralds is to proclaim the good news everywhere, to every person, so that righteousness and true freedom may be realised in the fullest sense,” he said.
Pastor Yahaya’s message forms part of The Church of Pentecost’s broader evangelistic drive, which seeks to reach communities, institutions, and correctional centres across Ghana as part of its effort to “Possess the Nations” for Christ.
The Tamale for Christ Crusade is expected to draw thousands of participants from across the region as the Church continues its mission to win souls and transform society through the gospel.
