The Schools Outreach Ministry (SOM) of A-Lang Worship Centre in the Odorkor Area of The Church of Pentecost has organised a special service for final-year students preparing to sit for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The event, which took place at the Doxa Auditorium on Sunday, July 30, 2023, aimed to prepare the students spiritually, psychologically, and physically for the examination.
The service was chaired by the Resident Minister, Apostle Dr. Christian Tsekpoe, who was also one of the speakers for the event. Other speakers were Mrs. Olivia Tsekpoe (Wife of the Resident Minister), Elder Kwame Owusu Ansah (a retired Educationist), and Deaconess Priscilla Koranchie (a teacher).
Using Proverbs 14:12 as a foundational text Apostle Dr. Christian Tsekpoe, who is also the Head of Department for the Pentecost School of Theology and Mission (PTSM) at the Pentecost University, encouraged the students to approach the exams with confidence.
He also advised them not to take any opportunity in life for granted and to see the exams as one of such opportunities they have been given.
He interspersed his presentation with his personal testimonies and life experiences to encourage the students to remain focused regardless of the challenges life throws at them.
The other speakers also touched on time management, rules and regulations for the examination, as well as the need for the students to trust and rely on Jesus in every endeavour.
After the presentations, the Resident Minister led the congregation to pray for the candidates.
All 45 candidates who took part in the service comprised members of A-Lang Worship Centre, students of St. Lutterodt Academy, and members of Santa Maria English Assembly.
To the glory of God, four of the students, including a Muslim, responded to the altar call to accept Christ as their Lord and personal Saviour.
The candidates were each presented with a mathematical set, a necessary tool for the examination.
In all, 65 people participated in the event, including Elder Isaac Danful (Assistant Odorkor Area Chaplaincy Ministry Leader and English Assembly Presiding Elder), Elder Eric Ogoe (District SOM Coordinator), Deaconess Esther Danful (Assistant District Evangelism Ministry Leader), Brother Gideon Okyere (English Assembly Youth Ministry Secretary).
