In a demonstration of compassion and community service, the Women’s Ministry of the Teshie-Nungua Area of The Church of Pentecost has donated essential delivery instruments and medical supplies to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of the LEKMA Polyclinic in Nungua, Accra.

The donation, made on Friday, June 13, 2025, was valued at GH¢80,000.00 and formed part of the ministry’s annual social responsibility initiative to support maternal and child healthcare.

The items include delivery instruments, sterile drums, bedsheets, and trolleys, all aimed at enhancing the quality of care in the gynaecology and children’s departments. In addition to the supplies, the ministry also undertook the renovation of the female ward to provide a more comfortable and dignified environment for mothers and their newborns during recovery.

The delegation was led by the Area Head for Teshie-Nungua, Apostle Wilberforce Nkrumah Agyeman, and included members of the pastorate.

The event coincided with the 12th anniversary celebration of the polyclinic, adding a special touch to the occasion.

Presenting the items, Deaconess Sophia Nana Arthur, Area Women’s Ministry Lead,  stated that the initiative reflects one of the core values of The Church of Pentecost – supporting local communities.

‘Drawing from our values, we believe in serving Jesus by serving others. We seized this opportunity to stand with the women and children in our communities by providing basic medical tools to support recovery and safe delivery,’ she said.

She also revealed that the church is in the process of providing an 80KVA generator to the polyclinic to ensure uninterrupted power supply for critical care services.

The Medical Director of the LEKMA Polyclinic, Dr William Okyere-Frempong, expressed deep gratitude for the timely and generous gesture.

‘These items will go a long way in improving maternal care and equipping our staff with the tools they need to provide quality healthcare,’ he said, adding, ‘The Church of Pentecost has once again proven to be a pillar of support to this community.’

He noted that the intervention is expected to significantly boost the hospital’s capacity to deliver safe and efficient services, particularly in maternal and child health, an area of national priority.

Through this impactful gesture, the Women’s Ministry has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to community development and the well-being of vulnerable groups, a mission it has consistently upheld over the years.

Fathers Urged To Be Spiritual Gatekeepers Of Their Homes – Apostle James Asare

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Kasoa Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle James Kwabena Asare, has called on fathers to embrace their role as the spiritual gatekeepers of their families, stressing the importance of godly leadership in the home.

Speaking during a special Father’s Day service at the Prophet M. K. Yeboah Worship Centre in Kasoa on Sunday, June 15, 2025, Apostle Asare encouraged men to lead by example, instill biblical values in their children, and safeguard their households from bad influences.

Delivering a sermon titled, ‘Leading Your Family Into a Great Future as a Man,’ Apostle Asare used Abraham as a model of faith and leadership.

Citing Genesis 12:1-4, he highlighted Abraham’s obedience to God’s call and the risks he took in pursuit of divine purpose, actions that ultimately led to generational blessings.‘

Just as Abraham stepped out in faith, fathers today must be willing to take bold steps guided by God’s word to secure a better future for their families,’ he said.

He also referenced Genesis 14:14-16, where Abraham fought to rescue his nephew Lot, urging fathers to be both spiritual and physical defenders of their families.

Additionally, he pointed to Abraham’s act of giving a tenth of his possessions to Melchizedek, encouraging fathers to teach their children the value of generosity and supporting God’s work.

The service, hosted by Resident Minister Pastor Fred Amoakohene Sarpong, featured a celebration of men in the church, complete with cake-cutting and a champagne toast.

Apostle Asare was also presented with a surprise Father’s Day gift in recognition of his leadership.

Among the attendees were Mrs Stephanie Amoakohene, wife of the Resident Minister, and Pastor Eric Yaw Nkwa and his wife from the Patriensa District in the Konongo Area.

A solemn burial and memorial service was held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at the Agbogba Anglican School Park in Accra to honour the life and legacy of the late Mrs Mabel Agyenim Boateng, wife of Pastor Yaw Agyenim Boateng of The Church of Pentecost, Agbogba District.

A moving sermon was delivered by Apostle Anthony Mensah, Resident Minister of the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) – Atomic. Preaching on the theme, ‘Death is Not Our End’ based on 2 Corinthians 5:1, Apostle Mensah offered words of hope and comfort to the grieving congregation.

He described death as an inevitable appointment for all, likening the human body to a ‘tent’ —temporary and fragile—destined to be replaced by an eternal dwelling for those who believe in Christ.

‘Whether we live or die, we belong to God,’ he declared, encouraging the family and church members to find solace in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Mrs Mabel Agyenim Boateng was remembered as a loving wife, devoted mother, and nurturing presence whose care extended far beyond her immediate family. A true partner in ministry, she supported her husband spiritually and physically throughout their journey together. Her home was a haven of warmth, guidance, and encouragement, where many found a mother figure and mentor.

Known for her radiant smile and welcoming spirit, Mrs Boateng was generous, fair, and deeply committed to the well-being of others. She was a beacon of hope and a vessel of transformation, always ready to uplift others with her unwavering faith.

Ministerial Transfers Are Opportunities To Share Spiritual Gifts web

Ministerial Transfers Are Opportunities To Share Spiritual Gifts – Mrs Rose Kumi-Larbi

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesWomen's Ministry

Mrs Rose Dansoa Kumi-Larbi, wife of the Ashaiman Area Head and immediate past General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has encouraged pastors’ wives to view ministerial transfers as opportunities to share both spiritual and practical gifts for the growth of the church and its members.

Speaking on the topic, ‘Preparing for Transfer and Home Management’ at the just-ended Ministers’ Wives Conference held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, Mrs Kumi-Larbi indicated that transfers are not merely administrative changes but divine strategies for redistributing God’s gifts and graces.

‘Transfers allow for the equitable distribution of giftings. It is not the pastor who is transferred, but the gifts within them, as outlined in Ephesians 4:1-13,’ she explained.

She added that transfers are essential for sustaining the ministry, fostering growth, and preventing complacency and over-familiarity in the work of the Lord.

Mrs Kumi-Larbi reminded participants that God, as the owner of the Church, reorganises His soldiers to form stronger teams.

She, therefore, stressed the importance of making adequate preparations ahead of transfers to ensure a smooth transition for incoming ministers and their families.

Highlighting the significance of the mission house, she described it as both an equipping centre and an extension of the church. She urged pastors’ wives to maintain the sanctity and cleanliness of the mission house, lamenting the neglect of basic maintenance in some cases, which often leads to costly repairs.

‘Regular maintenance prevents major damage and saves money in the long run. It also enhances safety and creates a serene atmosphere. Sometimes, we may need to use our own resources rather than relying solely on church funds,’ she noted.

She also encouraged pastors’ wives to seek God in prayer for fresh anointing, vision, direction, and both spiritual and financial resources when preparing for a transfer. Additionally, she advised them to leave the mission house in a better condition than they met it and to avoid last-minute packing.

‘Do not leave old items behind. Ensure that the next pastor can begin their ministry without inconvenience caused by your inaction,’ she cautioned.

Mrs Kumi-Larbi concluded by urging participants to be prudent stewards of the resources provided for the mission house, saying, ‘Let us learn basic food preservation techniques to avoid wastage, manage our home finances wisely, and invest some of the blessings we receive to prepare for challenging times.’

Let Go Of Your Worries—Jesus Is Ready To Carry Your Burdens – Mrs Mary Nyamekye Assures Believers

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The wife of the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Mrs Mary Nyamekye, has encouraged Christians, especially ministers’ wives, to release themselves from the worries of life and focus wholeheartedly on serving God.

Speaking at the climax of the Ministers’ Wives Conference held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh on Friday, June 13, 2025, Mrs Nyamekye reminded attendees of the miraculous power of Jesus, citing the resurrection of Lazarus as a testament to His ability to turn even the most hopeless situations around.

‘If Jesus could raise Lazarus, who had been dead and buried, then no situation in your life is beyond His power,’ she said. ‘Whatever challenges you are facing, trust in Jesus—the Rock of Ages. He is able to transform your circumstances.’

She underscored the importance of spiritual purity and remaining connected to God, urging believers to cleanse themselves of unrighteousness so they can experience God’s strength in their lives.

In a powerful prophetic declaration, Mrs Nyamekye prayed for divine healing, breakthroughs, and supernatural intervention for all participants.

The conference brought together over 3,000 attendees, mainly ministers’ wives from across the nation, as well as the spouses of retired ministers and widows of late ministers.

Serve With Heavenly Mindset – Apostle Dr Walker Urges Pastors’ Wives

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

A former Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Daniel Okyere Walker (retd), has stressed the vital role pastors’ wives play in enhancing the excellence of their husbands’ ministries.

Speaking at the Ministers’ Wives Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh near Kasoa, Apostle Dr Walker indicated that although the role of a pastor’s wife is not formally defined, it carries a profound responsibility. He encouraged pastors’ wives to offer wholehearted and excellent service in support of the ministry, reminding them that God rewards every act of service rendered in His name.

Delivering a message on the theme, ‘The Pastor’s Wife Serving for Eternal Rewards,’ the former Vice Chancellor of Pentecost University urged participants to cultivate a mindset of service, regardless of the challenges they may face. 

‘The work of ministry is demanding and comes with numerous responsibilities. It has no fixed hours. Therefore, the pastor’s wife is expected to be a pillar of support, offering excellent service in every aspect,’ he stated.

Apostle Dr Walker outlined several key duties expected of pastors’ wives and stressed the importance of making sacrifices to win souls for Christ. He assured them that every act of service would be rewarded by God. Citing 1 Corinthians 9:20–23, he referenced biblical examples such as the Woman of Zarephath, Sarah and Abraham, Mary and Martha, and Dorcas—whose service to widows in Joppa brought them divine blessings.

‘Let us serve with a sacrificial mindset, knowing that our calling in ministry demands hospitality and unwavering dedication. Our labour is not in vain. In fact, when you serve with genuine interest, spiritual gifts can be transferred from the pastor to you. These gifts become sharper and serve as valuable assets to both the pastor’s ministry and the church,’ he concluded.

You Are A Wife Of A Diplomat On Assignment – Apostle Nyamekye To Pastors’ Wives

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has adviced ministers’ wives to view themselves as partners on a diplomatic mission alongside their husbands, who serve in the full-time ministry.

He indicated that just as a diplomat’s spouse shares in the responsibilities and representation of their partner, so too should ministers’ wives embrace their unique calling within the church.

Drawing a parallel between full-time ministry and ambassadorial service, Apostle Nyamekye explained that a minister’s wife, though not officially appointed, is covered by her husband’s spiritual mandate. As such, she is expected to support his role, much like the Levitical priesthood of old, where the family served together in sacred duties.

Speaking on the theme, ‘The Church of Pentecost Brand of Ministerial Call: The Role of the Minister’s Wife’ during the closing session of the three-day Ministers’ Wives Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre in Gomoa Fetteh, Apostle Nyamekye encouraged the women to see themselves as co-labourers in ministry.

‘Embrace your role as the wife of a diplomat. Let us advance the frontiers of God’s Kingdom together until Christ returns. We must not grow complacent. This is a divine assignment, and we have been privileged to be called,’ he said.

He cautioned against comparing The Church of Pentecost’s ministry model with that of other denominations, noting that the Church’s approach is unique and should be respected as such.

Using biblical examples such as Jezebel, Abigail, and Pilate’s wife (2 Kings 9:30; Matthew 27:19; 1 Samuel 25:28), Apostle Nyamekye urged the women to cultivate good character, maturity, wisdom, and tact in their interactions with the presbytery and congregation.

‘Sometimes, silence is the best response. Quietness can bring peace,’ he advised, while encouraging them to evaluate their words carefully before speaking, especially in moments of provocation, by asking: What do I have to say? When should I say it? Where should I say it? And how should I say it?

He warned against what he termed ‘Jezebelic tendencies’ – attitudes that are manipulative, immoral, or seek to usurp authority. “Don’t be a Jezebel. Strive instead to be like Abigail or Pilate’s wife. Character is the essential virtue for being a supportive partner in ministry,’ he emphasised.

Apostle Nyamekye concluded by encouraging the women to remain steadfast and committed, reminding them that the trials of today are nothing compared to the glory that awaits, saying, ‘Be a good wife. Support the ministry wholeheartedly. Let go of anything that hinders your calling and persevere in the work of the Lord.’

The wife of the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Mrs Juliana Korkor Obuobi, has called on ministers’ wives to take an active interest in the activities of the Women and Children’s Ministries at their respective duty stations.

Speaking on the topic, ‘Supporting Your Husband’s Ministry through the Women and Children’s Ministries’ at the Ministers’ Wives Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh near Kasoa, Mrs Obuobi underscored the vital role ministers’ wives play in the success of these ministries.

‘As ministerial partners, ministers’ wives must support their husbands’ ministries by actively engaging in the Women’s and Children’s Ministries and providing the necessary support for their programmes and activities,’ she stated.

Mrs Obuobi clarified that although a minister’s wife is neither a deputy nor an assistant pastor, she holds a significant responsibility in ensuring the success of these ministries. She encouraged them to collaborate with ministry leaders in developing programmes that align with the church’s annual theme and vision.

She also advised ministers’ wives to avoid organising events labelled as ‘Osofomaame’s programmes,’ and instead work in unity with ministry leaders to implement well-coordinated activities.

‘Conduct yourselves with humility and love, be punctual at meetings, and contribute meaningfully to discussions to positively impact the ministry,’ she urged.

Mrs Obuobi further encouraged the ministers’ wives to be actively involved in the Children’s Ministry. She suggested attending training sessions for teachers to better understand the dynamics of children’s services and to advocate for the needs and concerns of the ministry.

‘Our children are very perceptive. They know they can trust the Osofomaame and share their concerns with her,’ she said, adding, ‘Attend their meetings, interact with them, give them hugs, and make them feel valued. By doing so, we nurture them and help them feel a sense of belonging in the church.’

Model Your Marriage and Home After Christ – Mrs Sheila Hayfron Advices

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesWomen's Ministry

Mrs Sheila Hayfron, wife of Apostle Dr David Nyansah Hayfron, an Executive Council Member-Elect and Tarkwa Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has urged Christian couples to model their marriages and homes after Christ in order to honour God and preserve His glory.

Speaking at the ongoing Ministers’ Wives Conference 25 at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh near Kasoa, Mrs Hayfron noted that earthly Christian marriage serves as a practical representation of Christ’s relationship with the Church—a foreshadowing of the heavenly union between Christ and His bride.

Addressing over 3,000 attendees—including ministers’ wives, retired ministers’ wives, and widows of ministers—Mrs Hayfron delivered a message on the theme, ‘The Pastor’s Wife and Her Marital Life.’

She encouraged participants to view their marriages as their foremost ministry, saying, ‘We must see our marriages as our first ministry—serving our husbands and families with dedication. Let us be their prayer backbone and source of inspiration. We must also learn to cultivate contentment and avoid bitterness in our marriages.’

Mrs Hayfron underscored the importance of maintaining friendship within marriage, cautioning against the tendency to fall into rigid role-playing at the expense of genuine connection.

‘Many of us were friends with our spouses before marriage, but over time, we’ve allowed roles to replace that friendship. Let us rekindle those relationships,’ she advised.

She added: ‘Our marriages on earth are meant to reflect the heavenly marriage. They should honour God and present a true picture of His divine design to the world.’

She also warned against involving children or church members, especially those considered as family, in marital disputes. Instead, she recommended seeking guidance from mentors and professional counsellors when necessary.

Concluding her message, Mrs Sheila Hayfron stated: ‘We must help our husbands make it to heaven by creating a supportive environment that meets their emotional, psychological, and physical needs.’

Apostle Obuobi Urges Ministers’ Wives to Lead Godly Lives

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has called on the wives of church ministers to pursue godly living as part of their calling as believers and co-labourers in ministry.

Speaking at the 2025 Ministers’ Wives Conference held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa on Wednesday morning, Apostle Obuobi stated that the mission to ‘possess the nations’ can only be fulfilled by men and women who embody godliness.

‘The pastor’s wife has a responsibility to live a godly life. You are accountable for your own training in righteousness,” he stated, adding, ‘Train yourself in godliness, for godliness is devotion to God; it leads to a life that pleases Him.”

Addressing the theme, ‘The Godly Woman,’ Apostle Obuobi quoted Christian author Jerry Bridges, saying, ‘No higher compliment can be paid to a Christian than to call them godly.’ He stressed that godliness must be the foundation of every aspect of the Christian life, leaving no room for alternatives.

He expressed concern over the tendency of some believers to appear religious while denying the power that leads to true godliness. To reinforce his message, he referenced several scriptures, including 1 Timothy 6:11, 2 Timothy 3:5, and 2 Peter 1:5.

Drawing lessons from the lives and ministries of Apostles Paul and Peter, Apostle Obuobi encouraged the participants to be effective and fruitful by embracing perseverance and discipline, which are hallmarks of the early church leaders.

‘Discipline your eyes, ears, attitude, and appetite in your walk with God,’ he urged. ‘Be intentional in every area of your life and ministry. Know the Scriptures by reading, studying, meditating on them, and applying them. Set boundaries and operate within them, remembering that no discipline is pleasant at the time, but it yields lasting fruit.’
