Yamoah Appoh Memorial Temple Dedicated

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has dedicated the newly constructed Yamoah Appoh Memorial Temple at Kabu in the Koforidua Area, describing the facility as a significant addition to the worship and ministry of the assembly.

The dedication ceremony, held on Sunday, August 16, 2026, brought together church leaders, ministers, members, traditional authorities and well-wishers to celebrate the completion of the imposing edifice.

The temple, which was singlehandedly financed by Mr Stephen Yamoah and his wife, members of PIWC Atomic, was constructed at a total cost of GH¢1,649,496.20.

The facility comprises a main worship auditorium, conference hall, pastor’s office and other supporting facilities designed to enhance the assembly’s worship, fellowship and ministry activities.

Speaking at the dedication service, Apostle Obuobi urged Christians to remain committed to God and His Word, stressing that the completion and dedication of a church building must be accompanied by a corresponding commitment to living in obedience to God.

Preaching on the topic, “Obedience to God,” from Ecclesiastes 12:13, he said Christians are called to reverence God and obey His Word without argument or rationalisation.

He noted that obedience to God involves acknowledging His authority and responding to His instructions with total submission.

Apostle Obuobi cautioned Christians against engaging in religious activities while deliberately disregarding God’s Word.

“We can practise religious activities, offer huge support to humanity and the Church, but if none of this is done in obedience to God’s Word, they amount to nothing,” he emphasised.

Using the account of King Saul, who spared what God had commanded him to destroy under the pretext of using the animals for sacrifice, Apostle Obuobi urged Christians not to substitute their own reasoning for obedience to God.

He further stressed that disobedience to God carries serious consequences and urged believers to make obedience to the Word of God a daily commitment.

The newly dedicated temple was named after the late father of Mr Stephen Yamoah, who, together with his wife, provided the financial resources for its construction.

Mr Yamoah expressed his joy and appreciation to the Church for honouring his late father through the naming of the facility.

He subsequently pledged to provide the assembly with musical instruments, new chairs and projection equipment to further enhance the church’s ministry.

The development of the project followed a request made by Apostle Mike Etrue to Apostle Tony Mensah during the latter’s tenure as Resident Minister of PIWC Atomic.

The Kabu Assembly, formerly known as the Kabu Assembly, was established in 1978 with an initial membership of 15 under the leadership of Deaconess Mary Asare.

As part of the dedication ceremony, Apostle Obuobi led the pastorate in prayer for Mr Yamoah and his family, commending their contribution to the work of God and seeking divine blessings upon them.

The ceremony was attended by Apostles Mike Etrue and Tony Mensah and their wives, the Area Heads of Koforidua and Abeka respectively, ministers and their wives from the Koforidua Area, and elders from the Kabu Palace.

55-Year-Old Woman Delivers Triplets After 25 Years of Marriage wbe

55-Year-Old Woman Delivers Triplets After 25 Years of Marriage

A 55-year-old member of The Church of Pentecost in the Brofoyedru District of the Kwadaso Area, Mrs. Linda Ampofo, has given birth to triplets after 25 years of marriage, bringing glory to God.

A naming ceremony for the babies was held on July 5, 2026, at the Brofoyedru Central Assembly. The service was officiated by the District Minister, Pastor Joshua Appiah, and attended by family members and the congregation.

Mrs. Ampofo endured 25 years of childlessness, marked by several miscarriages, the last of which occurred in 2014. Despite the emotional and physical challenges, she remained steadfast in her faith and continued to serve God faithfully through active participation in church activities and prayer meetings.

Throughout the years, she drew strength and encouragement from the messages preached during the district’s weekly dawn prayer meeting, dubbed “Emergency,” choosing to trust God even when her miracle seemed delayed.

Her long-awaited breakthrough came after a hospital visit confirmed she was pregnant. By God’s grace, she safely delivered three healthy babies on January 13, 2026.

Preaching at the naming ceremony on the theme, “The Lord Has Done Great Things for Us,” based on Psalm 126:3 and Psalm 118:23, Pastor Joshua Appiah emphasised that the joy which follows seasons of trials, tears, and affliction strengthens the faith of believers and stands as a testimony to God’s unfailing faithfulness.

He encouraged the congregation to draw inspiration from Mrs. Ampofo’s testimony and to continue trusting God for transformation in every situation. He further urged believers to remain rooted in God’s Word, stressing that it is living, powerful, and able to strengthen them to overcome every trial.

Expressing his gratitude, Mrs. Linda Ampofo’s husband, Deacon Kwame Ampofo said the miraculous experience had deepened his faith and strengthened his commitment to serving God.

Also addressing the congregation, Elder Thomas Tuffuor, the Presiding Elder after whom the children were named, encouraged members to remain faithful and content in the Church, reminding them that God is still at work and that His timing is always perfect.

Twifo Praso Area Provides Potable Water to Praso Schools, Community web.jpg

Twifo Praso Area Provides Potable Water to Praso Schools, Community

The Twifo Praso Area of The Church of Pentecost, has commissioned a mechanized borehole water project for Twifo Praso D/A B & C and other schools in the Praso Community.

The project, which cost GH¢47,900, was commissioned by the Twifo Praso Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Lawrence Otu-Nyarko, on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, at the premises of the B & C Basic School.

The initiative forms part of the Church’s social intervention programme under the Vision 2028 agenda, which seeks to contribute to the development and transformation of communities through practical interventions.

The provision of the facility became a priority after the leadership of the Church identified the challenges associated with inadequate access to potable water in the schools and surrounding community.

The mechanised borehole is expected to provide potable water to Twifo Praso D/A B & C Basic School, Twifo Praso Anglican Basic School, Twifo Praso Catholic Basic School and the Twifo Praso Roman Ridge Community 1.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Apostle Otu-Nyarko preached on the theme “Jesus Christ, the Living Water,” based on John 4:5-15.

He described water as an essential necessity of life, noting that it refreshes, cleanses, cools and brings people together.

Drawing from the encounter between Jesus Christ and the Samaritan woman at the well, Apostle Otu-Nyarko said the physical water provided through the project, while important, points to a greater spiritual need.

“There is something more important than this water which has been provided, and it is called the living water,” he said, explaining that the living water comes through Jesus Christ.

He therefore urged the beneficiaries and community members to accept Jesus Christ, stressing that salvation is found in Him.

The Twifo Atti Morkwa District Chief Executive, Isaac Yawson, expressed appreciation to The Church of Pentecost for the intervention and commended the Church for responding to a critical need affecting the schools and the wider community.

The Twifo Atti Morkwa District Director of Education, Mrs Augustina Attakora, also thanked the Church for providing the facility and urged the beneficiary schools and community members to take proper care of the water system.

She emphasised the need for collective responsibility to ensure that the facility remains functional and serves its intended purpose for many years.

Mrs Attakora subsequently unveiled the project plaque, after which Apostle Otu-Nyarko officially commissioned the facility.

The commissioning was attended by the Area Secretary, Pastor Paul Mensah; Area Estate Committee Chairman, Pastor Emmanuel Asante Obeng; pastors within the Area and their spouses; Head of Finance and Administration at the District Education Office, Mr Alfred Ackumey; Headteacher of Twifo Praso D/A B & C Basic School, Madam Sanatu Billah; and other invited guests.

The Church says the intervention is intended to complement its spiritual mission by contributing to the wellbeing and development of the communities in which it operates.

Elder Asante and Family Donate New Car to Chirano District web.jpg

Elder Asante and Family Donate New Car to Chirano District

Elder Stephen Yamoah Asante and his wife have donated a brand-new Honda CR-V to The Church of Pentecost’s Chirano District in the Sefwi Bekwai Area to support pastoral and ministerial work in the district.

The vehicle, a 2020 model valued at GH¢275,000, was presented to the Church on Friday, August 7, 2026, at a brief ceremony held in the district.

Explaining the motivation behind the donation, Elder Yamoah said the idea was inspired by the difficult conditions under which the District Pastor was carrying out his ministerial duties.

The district’s previous vehicle had become unserviceable, forcing the District Pastor to rely on commercial vehicles and, on some occasions, motorbikes, popularly known as okada, to undertake pastoral assignments.

Elder Yamoah said God laid it on his heart to provide a new vehicle for the district, and he was grateful for the opportunity and resources to respond to the need.

Receiving the vehicle on behalf of the Church, the Sefwi Bekwai Area Head, Pastor Stephen Bonzoe, commended Elder Yamoah and his family for their generosity and commitment to supporting the work of God.

Drawing on the account of the Roman centurion who built a synagogue for the Jews in Capernaum, as recorded in Luke 7, Pastor Bonzoe emphasised the spiritual significance of giving. He said giving connects the giver to God and attracts divine blessings, including healing and restoration.

Referring to Psalm 50:5, which says, “Gather to me this consecrated people, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice,” Pastor Bonzoe prayed for God’s covenant blessings upon Elder Yamoah and his family.

The District Minister, Pastor Thomas Kwadzo Goiho, together with members of the District Executive Committee, received the keys to the vehicle with gratitude to God and appreciation to the donor and his family.

The donation comes as a significant relief to the Chirano District, which had been facing increasing financial pressure from the maintenance and repair of its old vehicle.

Prior to the donation of the new vehicle, Elder Yamoah had contributed GH¢10,000 towards the maintenance of the old car.

The new vehicle is expected to enhance the mobility of the District Pastor and facilitate pastoral visits, evangelism, administrative duties and other ministerial activities across the district.

Since arriving in the district, Elder Yamoah and his family have consistently supported the Church and contributed to the development and welfare of the wider community.

The donation is therefore being regarded not only as an investment in the Church’s ministry but also as another expression of the family’s commitment to advancing God’s work and serving the community.

10-Year Wait Ends as Prampram Couple Welcomes Baby Boy web.jpg

10-Year Wait Ends as Prampram Couple Welcomes Baby Boy

A decade-long wait for a child has ended in joy for Elder Jonathan Ofori Asante and his wife, Deaconess Mary Ofori, who have welcomed their first child after years of prayer, medical consultations and unwavering faith.

The couple, who serve as leaders of the English Assembly of The Church of Pentecost in the Prampram District of the Tema Area, welcomed a healthy baby boy, Jonathan Nyamekye Ofori, on April 25, 2026.

The child was officially named on Saturday, August 1, 2026, at the A.T. Nartey Memorial Temple in Prampram.

Elder Jonathan and Deaconess Mary married on November 19, 2016, and began looking forward to starting a family. However, their expectation of parenthood was prolonged for years as they were unable to conceive.

In their quest for a solution, the couple sought medical assistance from several hospitals and specialists. They underwent various medical treatments and took prescribed medications. While some medical practitioners indicated that there were no apparent medical challenges, other medical opinions suggested otherwise, leading the couple to explore additional treatment options, including herbal remedies.

Despite these efforts, there was neither a pregnancy nor any indication that their long-awaited breakthrough was imminent. Rather than allowing the prolonged wait to weaken their faith, the couple chose to intensify their commitment to God and His work.

They redirected resources they had been spending on treatments towards supporting the work of God and continued to pray and trust in His promises.

The church community also joined them in prayer, with the congregation consistently interceding for the couple and other families believing God for the fruit of the womb.

The breakthrough finally came in August 2025 when Deaconess Mary began experiencing unusual fatigue, weakness and general discomfort. The couple purchased two pregnancy test kits, with the first producing a positive result.

Uncertain about the result, Elder Jonathan requested a second test. It also returned positive.

A subsequent hospital examination confirmed that Deaconess Mary was pregnant.

The pregnancy progressed well, culminating in the birth of their son on April 25, 2026.

For the couple, the arrival of Nyamekye marks the end of a 10-year journey characterised by expectation, disappointment, prayer and hope.

Reflecting on their experience, the couple said their testimony has strengthened their conviction that God remains faithful even when answers to prayers do not come within the expected timeframe.

They are also encouraging couples and families going through similar seasons of waiting to remain steadfast in prayer and not give up hope.

Their testimony has become a source of encouragement to members of their church community and others who continue to trust God for their own breakthroughs.

The couple have expressed gratitude to God for the safe arrival of their son and have given Him all the glory for what they regard as an answer to a decade-long prayer.

Madina Area Completes and Hands Over CHPS Compound to Sota Community web

Madina Area Completes and Hands Over CHPS Compound to Sota Community

The Madina Area of The Church of Pentecost has completed and handed over a Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound to the Ghana Health Service to provide primary healthcare to residents of Sota and six surrounding communities in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region.

The facility, located in Sota, a farming community near Dodowa in the Amrahia Area, was dedicated, commissioned and handed over on Friday, August 7, 2026.

The project was originally initiated by the Shai Osudoku District Assembly in 2010 but was abandoned at about 40 percent completion. It was revived following a working visit to the community by the Madina Area Head, Apostle M. S. Appiah, in January 2024.

Moved by the healthcare needs of the community, the Madina Area took up the completion of the facility to bring essential primary healthcare services closer to residents.

The dedication and commissioning ceremony was officiated by Apostle Appiah, assisted by the Amrahia Area Head, Apostle Samuel Berko, with support from pastors and their wives from the Madina and Amrahia Areas.

Speaking at the ceremony on the theme, “God Our Healer,” based on Exodus 15:23–25, Apostle Berko said leadership involved recognising needs within communities and taking responsibility to address them.

He drew parallels between the Israelites’ experience at Marah, where they encountered bitter water, and the challenges confronting communities without adequate healthcare facilities.

According to him, just as Moses cried out to God and received a direction that transformed the bitter water into sweet water, leaders must identify the “bitterness” in society and respond appropriately.

Apostle Berko commended Apostle Appiah and the Madina Area for demonstrating compassion by completing the facility.

“With this facility, the bitterness, cries and pains of sickness will be alleviated, and the people will have access to primary healthcare without travelling outside the community,” he said.

The District Chief Executive for the Shai Osudoku District Assembly, Hon. Ignatius Godfred Dordoe, and a representative of the Chief of Sota, Nii David Amoah, commended The Church of Pentecost for the intervention.

The Deputy Chief Nursing Officer, Mrs Yvonne Kyei Mensah, said the facility would serve more than 2,000 people across seven communities.

She noted that the CHPS compound would provide emergency services, maternity care and other essential primary healthcare services to residents.

The facility comprises an outpatient department (OPD), a doctor’s room, four patient wards, storage and pharmacy rooms, and a washroom.

It has also been equipped with eight hospital beds and mattresses, eight bedside tables, 30 bedsheets, 20 pillows, two tables with chairs, blood pressure apparatuses, a 2,000-litre water storage tank and two hospital screens.

The project was supported through a collaborative effort involving the Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS) Directorate, the Amrahia Area, and the Women’s, Men’s and Youth Ministries of the Madina Area.

To mark the commencement of operations, the Pentecost Hospital, Madina, conducted a health screening exercise for residents of Sota and surrounding communities.

Madina Area Women’s Ministry Honours Outgoing Leaders, Inducts New Executives web

Madina Area Women’s Ministry Honours Outgoing Leaders, Inducts New Executives

The Madina Area Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost has held an appreciation service to honour two outgoing executives for their dedicated service to the ministry from 2022 to 2026.

The ceremony, held on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, at the New Sychar Auditorium at Madina-Obgojo, also saw the induction of new leadership for the Area Women’s Ministry.

The outgoing executives are Deaconess Dr. Gifty Gyamaah Nyante, immediate past Area Women’s Ministry Leader, and Deaconess Alice Gyedu, former Assistant Area Women’s Ministry Leader.

Taking over from them are Deaconess Juliet Torsu and Deaconess Esther Asantewaa Tetteh, who were inducted as the new Area Women’s Ministry Leader and Assistant Area Women’s Ministry Leader respectively.

Prior to their new appointments, Deaconess Torsu served as the District Women’s Ministry Leader for the La Nkwantanang District, while Deaconess Tetteh served as the District Women’s Ministry Leader for the Egyir Paintsil Memorial Worship Centre (EPMWC), Madina.

Speaking on the theme, “Weariness in Doing Good,” Apostle Dr. D. K. Noble-Atsu (Rtd.) urged Christian leaders not to grow weary in the discharge of their responsibilities despite the challenges associated with leadership.

He noted that leadership comes with several difficulties that can easily discourage duty bearers and cause them to lose commitment to their assignments before the end of their tenure.

Drawing inspiration from Galatians 6:9–10, Apostle Dr. Noble-Atsu stressed that God rewards leaders who continue to do good and persevere to the end, despite challenges arising from institutional structures, procedures and even deliberate attempts by others to undermine their work.

He encouraged leaders to remember that their ultimate assignment is to God and, therefore, should not allow negative comments and criticism to distract them.

“Every leader’s assignment is to God, so you must avoid listening to people’s negative comments, avoid resorting to murmuring and also don’t fail to recognise that people will talk about you,” he said.

He added that leaders who allow such challenges to overwhelm them could become weary in doing the good associated with their calling.

The Madina Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle M. S. Appiah, commended the outgoing leaders for their dedication, sacrifice and commitment to the Women’s Ministry and the church during their four-year tenure.

He subsequently administered the charge of office to Deaconess Torsu and Deaconess Tetteh, urging them to provide effective leadership alongside the other members of the Area Women’s Ministry Executive.

The programme was attended by the Women’s Ministry Director, Deaconess Philomena Mireku, and members of the National Executive Committee, including Mrs Comfort Quampah and Mrs Abishag Asamoah.

Also present were the Evangelism Ministry Director, Apostle Emmanuel K. Appiah; MPWD Coordinator, Pastor Alexander Nyame; Prophet Kwasi Annor of PIWC, Trasacco; Apostle Isaac Tetteh Judah, Odorkor Area Head; Prophet B. A. Adobah (Rtd.); Apostles Ekow Badu Wood and Ankrah Badu; Mrs. Dora Appiah; and Mrs. Grace Opoku Onyinah.

Members of the Madina Area pastorate and their wives, the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Committee of the Women’s Ministry, as well as representatives from the various districts within the Madina Area, also attended the ceremony.

The event celebrated the contributions of the outgoing leaders while formally ushering in a new leadership team to continue the work of the Women’s Ministry in the Madina Area.

Apostle Samuel Obuobi Dedicates Kibi Central Auditorium web

 Apostle Samuel Obuobi Dedicates Kibi Central Auditorium

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has dedicated the newly constructed Kibi Central Assembly auditorium in the Suhum Area, charging Christians to demonstrate their faith through their conduct and influence in society.

Apostle Obuobi performed the dedication on Friday, August 14, 2026, at Kibi in the Eastern Region.

The newly dedicated auditorium marks a significant milestone in the history of Kibi Central Assembly, which began in 1955 with a small group of believers.

During the service the General Secretary preached a sermon titled “The Christian Life in the Public Space, explaining that the Church had been called out of the world by God and sent back into it to bring transformation, stressing that there should be no gap between Christians’ faith and practice, doctrine and ethics, confession and lifestyle, or private religiosity and public morality.

“Our works must authenticate our faith,” he emphasised, urging believers to carry the fragrance of their transformed lives into every sphere of society.

Using Jesus’ description of believers as the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world,” Apostle Obuobi said Christians must preserve society from decay and corruption while driving away darkness through their godly influence.

Drawing lessons from Nehemiah and Daniel, he highlighted integrity, excellence, prayerfulness and godly character as essential qualities for Christians seeking to make an impact in the public space.

He further reminded Christians of their identity as citizens of both earth and heaven, describing them as ambassadors of Christ, a royal and priestly people, and prophets to the nations. He urged believers to develop deep roots in Christ through prayer, fasting, studying the Word and other spiritual disciplines.

Apostle Obuobi also stressed the need for Christians to live out the Word, citing Ezra’s commitment to study, practise and teach God’s law.

The Kibi Central auditorium project, initiated through years of sacrifice by successive leaders and members, was completed at a total cost of GH¢2,444,181.58, with support from the Church’s Headquarters, the Suhum Area, Kibi District and the local assembly.

The facility is expected to serve as a centre for worship, prayer, discipleship and evangelism, while equipping believers to extend the transforming influence of the Gospel beyond the church auditorium and into society.

Pastor Joseph Boachie Agyemang Climaxes 36-Year Ministry Journey

The Ahwiaa District of The Church of Pentecost, under the Old Tafo Area, has held a retirement service in honour of Pastor Joseph Boachie Agyemang and his wife, Mrs. Georgina Boachie Agyemang, after 36 years of active ministry.

The service, held on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at the fully packed Ahwiaa Central Auditorium, brought together church leaders, Area Heads, retired ministers, members of the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council, Nananom, ministers and their wives from various regions.

The event was held under the chairmanship of the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, who also officiated the service.

Speaking on the theme, “Meekness and Rest,” Apostle Nyamekye highlighted the life and character of Pastor Joseph Boachie Agyemang, describing him as a meek, committed and resilient minister whose service was worthy of emulation.

Referencing Matthew 5:3–11, Apostle Nyamekye reminded the congregation of Christ’s teaching that “the meek shall inherit the earth.”

He observed that, contrary to the values taught in Scripture, the world was increasingly witnessing cruelty instead of mercy, corruption instead of righteousness and quarrels instead of peace.

According to him, these challenges were evident in society and, to some extent, within the church.

Citing Numbers 12:2–3, Apostle Nyamekye encouraged members and officers of the church not to seek attention or recognition in their service to God.

He urged them to serve with humility, stressing that those who remained meek and faithful would ultimately be exalted and granted a befitting rest.

During his ministerial journey, Pastor Boachie Agyemang served in several stations, including Aworowa in the Techiman Area, Anyinam, Sunyani, Akrade in the Agormanya Area, Offinso, Achimfo and Madina-La Nkwantanang in the Greater Accra Region.

He also served on various area committees in different capacities, including Area Executive Member, Chairperson of PENTSOS, Chairman of the Pensions Committee and Chieftaincy Ministry Coordinator.

Affectionately known as Osofo Boachie Agyemang, he was described as a distinguished man of God whose integrity was evident in both his personality and character.

The Church of Pentecost Supports Tema Newtown Flood Victims

The Newtown District under the Tema Area of The Church of Pentecost has provided financial and material support to families affected by recent flooding in the community.

The relief intervention, held on Sunday, August 9, 2026, was organised under the leadership of the District Minister, Pastor Timothy Afum Adipah, and the district executive committee to help affected church members and residents cope with losses resulting from the floods.

The recent torrential rains caused flooding in parts of Tema Newtown, leaving several homes inundated and resulting in the destruction of household belongings and other personal property. Some families were also displaced, creating significant financial and emotional difficulties for affected households.

In response, the district mobilised resources to provide immediate assistance to those whose homes and livelihoods were affected.

Each beneficiary received a financial relief package to help meet urgent needs, including basic household expenses and minor repairs, as well as essential household items. The packages included food supplies, hygiene products and other domestic necessities.

Speaking at the presentation, Pastor Timothy Afum Adipah said the intervention reflected the Church’s commitment to demonstrating the love of Christ through practical support for people in need.

“True ministry extends beyond the pulpit; it is felt in our willingness to wipe away the tears of those who suffer.”

He described the assistance as a modest expression of God’s love and encouraged the affected families not to lose hope as they work to rebuild their lives.

Some beneficiaries expressed appreciation to the district leadership for the timely intervention, saying the support would help ease the burden created by the floods.

The initiative forms part of the district’s broader pastoral and community support efforts as affected households continue with clean-up and rehabilitation activities.

The Tema Newtown District has pledged to continue providing spiritual, moral and material support to affected families as they work towards recovery.
