The Church of Pentecost has constructed borehole water facilities for Gbonkoyiri and Vondiel communities in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah Region.

The Sawla Area Head of the church, Apostle William Ohemeng-Kwakye, commissioned the two water facilities separately on April 2, 2020. He was assisted by the Gindabour District Minister of the church, Overseer William Asare, whose district the projects are located.

In an address, the Area Head said that the construction of the boreholes formed part of the church’s Vision 2023 agenda on ‘Community Transformation.’ He said funds for the project came from the Headquarters of the church through the Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS), the social services wing of the church.

Touching on the current global health crisis, Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye advised the people to adhere to the directives given by the President of the Republic to help in the fight against the Coronavirus outbreak. This, he said, includes observing social distancing, regular handwashing with soap under running water, using hand sanitizer, and avoiding handshaking.

Speaking on the topic, “Jesus Christ; The Spiritual Rock” (1 Corinthians 10:1-4), Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye emphasized that one needs the spiritual rock who is Jesus Christ to satisfy their spiritual thirst. He, therefore, entreated all to drink from the spiritual rock to quench their thirst.

He admonished the people of both communities to recognize and accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord to receive eternal life for their souls.

“One cannot drink from the spiritual rock unless he or she is in the Body of Christ,” he stressed.

In appreciation, the Roman Catholic Catchiest of the area thanked The Church of Pentecost for the kind gesture and requested other churches in the district to do same for the communities in the district which are in dire need of water and other social interventions.

In attendance were the Area Deacon, security personnel, representatives of sister churches, and community leaders, among others.

The Suhum Area of The Church of Pentecost has donated Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) worth GH¢ 10,000.00 to the Nsawam and Kibi Government Hospitals to aid the country’s fight against COVID-19.

The items, which include nose masks, hand sanitizers, veronica buckets, and liquid soap, were presented to the facilities by the Area Head, Apostle Anthony Eghan Kwesi Ekuban, on Monday, April 27, 2020.

In an interview with PENTECOST NEWS, Apostle Ekuban expounded that the intervention by the church was aimed at augmenting the Government’s effort in combating the spread of the viral disease.

He urged Ghanaians to adhere to the preventive measures that have been announced by the World Health Organization (WHO) such as social distancing, handwashing with soap under running water, and the wearing of nose mask.

Receiving the items on behalf of the Nsawam Government Hospital, the Hospital Administrator, Mr. Konlan Kofi, was grateful to the church for the thoughtful gesture, saying, “The Church of Pentecost is the first organisation to donate PPEs to this hospital since the outbreak of COVID-19.”

The Medical Superintendent of the Kibi Government Hospital, Dr. Richard Nii Darko Dodoo, who received the PPEs on behalf of the facility, expressed his profound gratitude to the church for the benevolence. He was hopeful that the items will help the hospital in the fight against the deadly disease.
