Despite the various leadership positions, Osei-Wusu Brempong was a committed and dedicated member of The Church of Pentecost. He was mentored by Elder J. K Asante who was his Presiding Elder at Kumasi New Tafo Assembly.
His Commitment and dedication to the work of God saw him becoming a Deacon in 1983 and appointed as the Witness Movement Leader at Kumasi New Tafo Assembly. During his time, he helped and led the Witness Movement to open many Assemblies including Yennyawoso and Antoa. He was ordained as an Elder in 1984.
In 1985, he was called into the full-time ministry of the Church, through the instrumentality of Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah (then the District Pastor responsible for Kumasi) and Apostle A. K. Miah (then the District Overseer in-charge of Kumasi New Tafo District). He was first stationed at Jachie in the Ashanti Region. He was later confirmed as an Overseer in 1987, became a Pastor in 1990 and called to Apostleship in 2014. He has served faithfully, meritoriously and unreservedly at the following stations during his 33-year ministerial service:

Having a great heart of love for people, Apostle Osei-Wusu and his wife have cared for more than thirty (30) people in ministry. He catered for the education of most of them; from primary through to the university. It is, therefore, not surprising that more than twenty (20) children have been named after him.
Apostle Osei-Wusu Brempong could not have had a successful ministry without the love and support of his better half, Mrs. Comfort Osei-Wusu Brempong. She is known to be a woman of prayer, zealous, industrious and generous. She is a mother with her doors wide open with affection and love to all manner of persons.
By the grace of God, Apostle and Mrs. Osei-Wusu Brempong would be retiring from the full-time ministry of The Church of Pentecost on Sunday, August 19, 2018 at Shekinah Temple, Aflao after 33 years of active service in the Lord’s vine yard.
