The newly created Amrahia Area of The Church of Pentecost was officially inaugurated on Sunday, September 8, 2024, at the E. T. Boye Memorial Temple in Amrahia, Accra.
The Area, carved out of the Madina Area, was inaugurated by the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi.
The service also coincided with the welcome service of the first Area Head and his family, Apostle Samuel Berko, who previously served as the Berekum Area Head.
Delivering the sermon on ‘The Unleashed Church,’ Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi stressed the Church’s immense power, drawn from the Holy Spirit, which must be shared with the world.
Citing Acts 1:8, he reminded believers that the Holy Spirit brings immeasurable, unlimited, and surpassing power to Christians. He urged Christians to take the power beyond the church walls and into their daily lives, workplaces, homes, and communities, saying, ‘God wants us to be conduits of His blessings.’
Apostle Obuobi further stressed the importance of teaching in shaping beliefs and actions, referencing Acts 17:2-3, and highlighted the Church’s power in spiritual warfare, citing Ephesians 6:12.
He affirmed that the Church unleashed is accredited with signs and wonders, encouraging believers to use the power to transform their world.
In his inaugural address, Apostle Samuel Berko expressed gratitude to the Chairman and the Executive Council, as well as the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Committee. He praised the selfless service by the Madina Area under Apostle Martin Seth Appiah and expressed confidence that through prayer, God’s hand would guide the new Amrahia Area to success. He echoed the General Secretary’s message, affirming that by working together, the area would accomplish great things.
Apostle Berko was called into ministry in 2002. He served as a chaplain in the Ghana Armed Forces for seven years, a missionary to Kenya (2015–2019), and Berekum Area Head (2019–2024).
The event was attended by several dignitaries, including Apostle Martin Seth Appiah (Madina Area Head), Prophet Kwasi Asante Annor (Resident Minister, PIWC Trasacco), Apostle Philip Osei Korsah (Director, Counselling Ministry), Apostle Ebenezer Agyapong (Minister-in-charge of e-Church), Apostle William Agyarko (Haatso Area Head), retired ministers, and the pastorate.
