The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has waived the land renewal fee for the Asokwa McKeown Temple of The Church of Pentecost. The benevolent act was met with gratitude from the church’s leadership, who paid a courtesy visit to the Manhyia Palace recently to express their heartfelt appreciation to the revered monarch.

Leading the delegation from the Asokwa Area of The Church of Pentecost was the Area Head, Apostle Peter Kofi Dzamekey. He was accompanied by the Area Executive Committee members, including Pastor Dr. Kofi Atakora Wiafe, Pastor Stephen Kwabena Asuo, Pastor Alex Nana Oppong, Pastor Lawrence Affum, Deaconess Rosemond Adjei, Deaconess Abigail Ofosuhene, and Elder Isaac Addei Boateng, the Presiding Elder of the McKeown Worship Centre, Asokwa, Kumasi.

The visit to the palace was to officially thank Otumfuo for his gracious decision to waive the land renewal fee, a gesture that underscores his continuous support for religious and developmental activities in the country.

As a token of their appreciation, the church leaders presented various gifts and a sum of money to the Asantehene. However, in an extraordinary act of goodwill and humility, the king, through his linguist, expressed his gratitude to the church and returned the monetary gift. Instead, he urged that the money be put as an offering in his name.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu commended The Church of Pentecost for its immense contributions to socio-economic development in Ghana. He acknowledged the church’s involvement in several developmental projects across the country, including the construction of schools, hospitals, and other community-based initiatives. His recognition of these efforts reflects his appreciation for institutions that contribute to the well-being of society and uplift the lives of the people.

The kind gesture of the Asantehene strengthens the cordial relationship between the Manhyia Palace and The Church of Pentecost, fostering collaboration for future projects aimed at enhancing the lives of Ghanaians. The king empowered the church leaders to complete their new church auditorium promptly so he could join them in praising God.

History was made on Thursday, February 27, 2025, as hundreds of business professionals and executives from The Church of Pentecost gathered at the Alisa Hotel in Accra for the maiden Pentecost Global Business Conference, dubbed ‘Pentpreneur 2025.’

The conference, attended by approximately 600 participants, aimed to foster networking, mentorship, and seek divine guidance for business growth.

In his keynote address, the Chairman of the church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, stated that the conference would serve as a platform for prayer, impartation, networking, and mentorship, all aimed at achieving new heights in business pursuits and influence.

‘I truly hope that these two days will be a tremendous blessing for every participant,’ he said.

Reflecting on the church’s 2025 theme, ‘Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling,’ which also served as the conference theme, Apostle Nyamekye encouraged members to rethink the connection between their faith and work. He pointed out that their roles as business professionals are integral to their Kingdom ministry and divine assignment.

‘This understanding reflects a fundamental truth about our identities as Kingdom carriers, a people called to embody and reflect everything that the Kingdom stands for in our various pursuits, especially in our businesses,’ he said, adding, ‘This includes showcasing the increasing glory and power of the Kingdom, along with its purity, excellence, wealth, and abundance, thereby turning many people to Christ.’

Speaking on the topic, ‘Stewarding the Grace of God Upon Your Life,’ Apostle Nyamekye explained that grace, which includes divine love, favour, blessing, and enablement, comes from God. He noted that true riches begin within a person and grow through faithful stewardship.

The Chairman also disclosed that seven years ago, the Lord inspired the church’s leadership to ‘possess the nations.’ He called on the church and its members to be a church and Christians for the nation, saying, ‘We should be a church that thinks about the land.’

The conference, which ends on Friday, February 28, 2025, features other distinguished speakers, including the immediate past First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Elder Dr Maxwell Opoku-Afari; the General Secretary of the church, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi; Mr. Emmanuel Baba Mahama, National President of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International, Ghana; Elder Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group; and Rev. Dr Benjamin Ayikwei, General Overseer of Trail Blazers’ Christian Ministries International.

Other notable speakers include Apostle Dr Benjamin Debrah, National Head of the church in Sweden; Mrs Vida Agyekum Acheampong (Esq.); Apostle Dr Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe, La Area Head; and Elder Lawrence Adu-Kusi, an expert in tax administration.

The event was graced by the Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, Elder Hon. Ibrahim Ahmed.
