The Cape Coast Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Yaw Antwi, has paid a courtesy call on the newly-appointed Pro Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Professor (Mrs.) Rosemond Boohene.
Visiting with his entourage on January 13, 2021, Apostle Antwi, an Executive Council Member of the church, on behalf of the leadership of the church, congratulated Prof. Rosemond Boohene on her appointment to the high office.
The delegation comprised Pastor Gideon Osei-Appau (Cape Coast Area Secretary), Pastor Frank Akonnor (Resident PENSA Campus Pastor of UCC), Elder Daniel Quainoo (Cape Coast Area Deacon), Elder George Amfo Antiri (Ag. Deputy Finance Director, UCC), and Elder Adom Konadu (UCC Human Resource – Senior Members Session).
Apostle Samuel Yaw Antwi took the opportunity to introduce to the Pro Vice-Chancellor the Resident PENSA Campus Pastor, Pastor Frank Akonnor. He also shared the Church’s Vision 2023 with her.
Assuring her of the church’s support, Apostle Samuel Yaw Antwi indicated that it has become prudent for the church to station Campus Pastors in tertiary institutions that have more than 1000 members to provide pastoral care and guidance to the students.
In her response, Professor (Mrs.) Rosemond Boohene expressed gratitude to the leadership of The Church of Pentecost for their immense support to the University. She took the opportunity to outline a few of her plans to the delegation, notably among them is the introduction of Community Clubs that will comprise Sports Clubs, Language Literacy Clubs, among others to help propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ to the youth.
The Pro Vice-Chancellor pledged to make a positive impact on the lives of the chiefs and the youth in the communities around the University, and in consultation with the PENSA Resident Campus Pastor, involve PENSA members in the mobilization processes.
Apostle Samuel Yaw Antwi stood in to present a congratulatory letter and a copy of the Church’s diary to Professor (Mrs.) Boohene. He also prayed with her.
Professor (Mrs.) Rosemond Boohene took over from Professor Dora F. Edu-Buandoh, whose term ended on 31st December, 2021. Prior to her appointment, she was the Director of the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Small Enterprise Development and has served the University for 24 years.
