The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has expressed immense joy over the unwavering dedication of individual church members to soul winning. Among those who made significant strides at spreading the gospel is Miss Beatrice Dzotepe, a 12-year-old Sunday School child of Avoeme District in the Aflao Area of the church, who single-handedly led 12 children to Christ.

Presenting the State of the Church Address (SOCA) at the 47^th Session of the General Council Meetings of The Church of Pentecost at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh, on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Apostle Nyamekye said little Beatrice committed to win the souls during the church’s One-Member-One-Discipled Soul initiative in November 2024, and all 12 new souls have been successfully retained in the church.

One individual who won souls through personal evangelism is Elder Godson Boateng of Offinso Area who single-handedly won 1,024 new souls, comprising 615 adults and 409 children. Out of the souls he won, 425 adults were baptised in water, leading to the opening of a new local assembly in the Tetrem District to accommodate the new members.

In a related development, Deacon Charles Addae from the Tema Greenwich Meridian District, in the Tema Area, also won 92 souls, with 61 of them being baptised in water. Also, from Community One District in Tema Area, Deaconess Comfort Korsa won 90 souls and had 61 of them baptised in water.

‘Dearly beloved, these achievements stand as a testament to our members’ unwavering commitment to spreading the gospel’, Apostle Nyamekye iterated, adding that ‘we must all endeavour to be soul winnings wherever we find ourselves.’

The Director of the Children’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Samuel Avornyo, on Saturday, March 15, 2025, launched the ‘Children in Creation Care’ campaign.

The initiative is part of the ministry’s 2028 Strategic Plan, which aims to Win, Wean, and Unleash godly children to transform their world.

The event, held at Elmina Central Assembly in the Elmina Area, gathered nearly 2,000 children, children’s workers, and ministers and their wives. Among the notable attendees was Deaconess Prof. Rebecca Dei Mensah, a National Executive Committee Member of the Children’s Ministry.

During the event, children were educated on managing and disposing of plastic waste. Pastor Avornyo indicated that God, the creator and owner of all things, expects everyone, including children, to care for His creation.

In an interview with Pent News, Pastor Avornyo remarked, ‘As a ministry, we believe that while the annual environmental care campaign is beneficial, it is insufficient to tackle the environmental challenges we face as a society. Therefore, we aim to make creation care a lifestyle for the children.’

He expressed optimism that the project would be implemented at all levels. He announced that from now on, every child would be encouraged to plant a tree on their birthday, a measure he hopes will combat the nation’s deforestation issues.

‘Plans are well underway to integrate creation care into the Children’s Ministry curriculum,’ he revealed.

To commemorate the day, a memorial tree was planted.

The Director of the Children’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Samuel Avornyo, has urged church leaders not to change the Great Commission to a Great Omission.

Pastor Avornyo said this when addressing ministers, children workers, officers, and parents in the Abirem Agona Zone on Thursday, March 13, 2025, during his ‘Vision Casting Visit’ to the Elmina Area of the church.

The Children’s Director emphasized that any soul-winning effort that neglects children as a target for evangelism or as a medium through which God can win other souls becomes a Great Omission rather than the Great Commission.

‘For me, the letter ‘C’ in the Great Commission represents Children. Children have souls that need to be won. They must not be ignored while they are young. The gospel is about the good news of Jesus Christ, but the messengers or carriers of this good news can vary and may include children too. Therefore, any Great Commission that omits children is a Great Omission,’ he said, adding, ‘It is time we become more intentional about child evangelism and groom them to develop evangelism as a lifestyle.’

Pastor Avornyo and the National Executive Committee (NEC) members of the Children’s Ministry are currently visiting various Areas in the Central Region to engage stakeholders on the ministry’s 2028 Strategic Plan.

The Elmina Area Head, Apostle Lawrence Oduro Nyarko, along with pastors and their wives in the Area, attended the programme.

The Children’s Ministry Director of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Samuel Avornyo, has urged ministers and their wives to focus on building tomorrow’s church today.

Addressing ministers and their during his first official visit to the Nsawam Area, Pastor Avornyo stressed that children should be seen not only as the future of the church but also as its current strength.

Speaking on the topic, ‘Unleashing the Children’ (Luke 19:30-36; Psalm 131:1-3), Pastor Avornyo asserted that children have prophetic mandates to fulfill, just like the colt that carried the Lord Jesus Christ, as recorded in Zechariah 9:9-10.

‘The central message of the gospel is Jesus, and God can use anyone, including children, to propagate it. We need to intentionally develop well-rounded children who embrace evangelism and prayer as a lifestyle and boldly defend their faith. This is the focus of our new agenda: winning, weaning, and unleashing children to transform their worlds,’ he stated.

Pastor Avornyo announced a new initiative dubbed, ‘One Mission House, One Community Club,’ which aims at establishing Children’s Community Clubs in various mission houses with the hope of winning and nurturing more children for the Lord.

The four-day visit afforded the Children’s Director the opportunity to interact with ministers and their wives, officers, parents, children workers and children in the Area, discussing the ministry’s activities and his vision for the next four years.

The Children’s Ministry of the Juaben District in the Ejisu Area of The Church of Pentecost, has organised a free medical screening for its members.

The event, held on Saturday, October 26, 2024, at the Juaben Central Assembly auditorium, saw the patrons screened for ear, nose, throat, and eye health. A total of 170 children and some adults participated.

Healthcare professionals from the Ejisu District Government Hospital, led by Mrs Joanna Agyei, conducted the screenings.

During the exercise, the children and parents were educated on primary care measures to avoid injuries to these essential organs, such as putting objects into the ears and noses. Some children had their ears washed, and the consulting nurse prescribed medications for others.

Additionally, some children were referred to the district hospital for further check-ups.

The District Children’s Ministry Leader, Deaconess Comfort Amoakoh, on behalf of her executive members, expressed gratitude to the health workers for their free services to the district. As a side attraction, the children were engaged in picture colouring and painting exercises to help develop their creative skills.

Pastor Martin Ossom Boafo, the District Minister, who was present at the event, commended the District Children’s Ministry for organising the screening exercise. He noted that some children may be struggling in their studies due to undiagnosed eye and ear problems.

He emphasised that parents often do not have regular screenings for their children due to lack of awareness or financial constraints, making such interventions incredibly valuable.
