The Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost at PIWC Tarkwa has donated assorted items and cash worth GHC 33,000.00 to the Angels of Hope Orphanage Centre as part of activities marking the 2026 National Women’s Week Celebration.

The donation exercise, held on May 9, 2026, was undertaken under the guidance of the Tarkwa Area Head, Apostle Dr Nyansa Hayfron, and his wife, Mrs Sheila Hayfron. The outreach was led by the District Women’s Leader, Deaconess Mrs Hilda Owusuaa Frimpong, together with Mrs Gifty Osei Danso, wife of the Resident Minister, and members of the ministry.

Items presented to the orphanage included bags of rice, basins of corn and cassava dough, gallons of cooking oil, detergents, bar soaps, hand and toilet tissues, diapers, children’s clothing and shoes. The team also donated liquid soap, bleach, fabric softeners, floor cleaners, bottled water, and assorted soft drinks.

Beyond the presentation of items, the delegation spent time fellowshipping and praying with the children and caretakers of the facility, encouraging them in the Lord.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the orphanage, the Warden, Auntie Esi, expressed heartfelt appreciation to the Women’s Ministry for the gesture. She explained that the facility depends largely on occasional support from individuals and organisations, as well as personal contributions from her own resources, making the upkeep of the orphanage challenging.

She further shared the condition of a three-year-old boy at the facility suffering from hydrocephalus. According to her, the child is unable to walk, sit, or speak. Although he underwent a surgical procedure, the treatment was unsuccessful, and financial constraints have prevented further medical care. She appealed to the ministry and other benevolent groups to continue extending support to the orphanage.

The Angels of Hope Orphanage Centre is a non-governmental organisation located at Lowcost in Tarkwa in the Western Region of Ghana.

Among the Women’s Ministry representatives present were Deaconess Mrs Doris Hagan, Assistant Leader; Deaconess Professor Ohenewaa Kakra Dankwa, Secretary; Deaconess Gladys Opoku Yeboah, Treasurer; and Deaconess Faustina Affam, Executive Member. They were supported by the Tarkwa Area Women’s Leader, Deaconess Mrs Martha Afi Owulaku, alongside several other women in the ministry.

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has inaugurated an eight-member National Emergency Management Committee to coordinate the church’s response to disasters and national emergencies across the country.

The inauguration ceremony took place on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at the church’s General Headquarters in Accra during a short ceremony.

The establishment of the committee follows recent disasters, including the Kantamanto Market fire outbreak in Accra and other emergencies at the Kejetia Market in Kumasi, which affected several members of the church.

Speaking at the event, Apostle Obuobi explained that the formation of the committee had become necessary due to the rapid growth of the church and the increasing need for a coordinated structure to manage emergencies and crises affecting members nationwide.

According to him, with nearly thirteen percent of Ghana’s population affiliated with the church, leadership considered it prudent to establish a dedicated body to respond swiftly and effectively whenever disasters occur.

He further disclosed that the decision followed a formal proposal submitted by the Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS) to the Executive Council.

Chairman of the committee, Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo, an Executive Council member, expressed gratitude to the leadership of the church for the confidence reposed in the committee and assured of their commitment to the assignment entrusted to them.

Also speaking at the event, Chairman of the PENTSOS Board, Elder Dr Kwabena Owusu-Sekyere, underscored the importance of the committee, noting that the likelihood of members being affected by disasters remains high, making preparedness and coordinated response essential.

Other members of the committee include Pastor Emmanuel Kobina Appah (Finance and Administration Director of the Church), Pastor Dr Ebenezer Tetteh Kpalam of the Pentecost University; Elder Dr Kwabena Owusu-Sekyere of PENTSOS; Mrs Priscilla Yirebi, representing pastors’ wives; Elder Dr Joshua Amebletor, Deaconess Dr Nana Kum Krampah I, and Elder Mark Brako Appiah.

The Church believes the committee will significantly strengthen its capacity to respond promptly and effectively to emergencies and disasters affecting members and communities across the nation.

The Deputy Women’s Ministry Director of The Church of Pentecost, Deaconess Vivian Amfo, has called on women and families to intentionally raise godly homes that will positively transform society and preserve Christian values for future generations.

She made the call on Sunday, May 10, 2026, during a sermon delivered at the Darkuman Central Assembly in the Darkuman District of the Kaneshie Area as part of the climax of the 2026 National Women’s Week Celebration, which also coincided with Mother’s Day.

Speaking on the theme, “Raising God-Fearing Families as Agents of Transformation in the Society,” Deaconess Amfo emphasised that families remain the foundation of every society and that mothers, in particular, carry a divine responsibility in shaping the spiritual and moral lives of children.

Quoting from Malachi 2:15 and Genesis 18:19, she noted that God desires “godly offspring” and commended Abraham as a biblical example of a man who directed his household in the ways of the Lord.

According to her, many of the values that shape individuals are cultivated quietly at home through discipline, prayer, sacrifice, conversations, and the daily example set by parents, especially mothers.

“Mothers are not just keeping homes running; they are shaping lives and influencing generations,” she stated.

Referencing Proverbs 14:1, she encouraged women to build homes characterised by love, peace, prayer, respect, and godliness, stressing that children often learn more from the lifestyles of their parents than from verbal instruction alone.

Deaconess Amfo further urged women to become intentional in prayer, describing prayer as a powerful tool for nurturing godly families and influencing society.

Using biblical examples such as Hannah, Lois, Eunice, and Jochebed, she highlighted how the prayers and sacrifices of mothers have historically shaped destinies and nations.

She also cited historical Christian figures including Susanna Wesley and Sarah Edwards as examples of women whose disciplined prayer lives produced lasting spiritual impact across generations.

Touching on the role of the Holy Spirit in family life, Deaconess Amfo said mothers need divine wisdom, patience, discernment, and strength to navigate the challenges of raising children in today’s morally declining world.

She encouraged mothers to model the fruit of the Spirit as captured in Galatians 5:22-23 and to intentionally influence their children toward righteousness.

She further advised families to establish home altars where children can be taught prayer, worship, responsibility, kindness, service, and Christian values through practical daily living.

According to her, raising children in the fear of God equips them to become responsible and solution-oriented individuals capable of impacting society positively.

While addressing mothers, she also reminded singles and young women that they equally have influence over younger siblings, colleagues, and people around them.

Deaconess Amfo encouraged women not to grow weary in their efforts, assuring them that God sees every sacrifice, prayer, and act of love invested into building godly homes.

The Minister for Chieftaincy, Local Government and Religious Affairs, Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim, has commended The Church of Pentecost’s national impact and role in holistic development.

Delivering the keynote address at the church’s 48^th Session of the General Council Meetings at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh, on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, Hon. Ibrahim conveyed warm greetings and congratulations from the Presidency to the Church for successfully convening the General Council Meetings.

“I celebrate The Church of Pentecost as a living agent in Ghana, not just as a divine sanctuary,” he stated.

He noted that the CoP has become a beacon of holistic development, bringing opportunities to many people across the country and across the globe. According to him, even in sectors traditionally considered the preserve of government, the Church has undertaken collaborative interventions that have benefited citizens, particularly in social welfare, education, and moral and civic education.

He commended the Chairman of the church, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, for introducing the Integrity and Faithfulness Awards, describing it as an initiative that creates champions of peace, promotes good citizenship, and fosters respect for authority. In a candid appeal, he remarked, “Every politician has a pastor,” and urged ministers of the gospel not to withdraw their guidance when leaders go wrong.

Touching on the church’s strategic direction, Hon. Ibrahim indicated that the church’s Vision 2023 benefited many who embraced its focus and encouraged members to prepare for Vision 2028, which he said would see believers impacting every sphere of society.

Drawing inspiration from Acts 20, he stressed the importance of transforming society through the gospel, noting that the church has been equipped with all that it needs to fulfil this mandate.

He further advised that the church should “catch them young” by establishing basic schools and strengthening Christian institutions such as Pentecost University to advance the “Possessing the Nations” agenda. He emphasised that government continues to collaborate with the Church and other faith-based institutions to promote peace, evangelism, and social stability, while urging the Church to actively mitigate social vices that threaten children.

The Local Government Minister also commended Apostle Samuel Gakpetor (Agormanya Area Head) for his role in promoting environmental discipline campaigns and mobilising members for civic responsibility initiative. He also praised the leadership of the church for advancing both spiritual and civic responsibility concurrently.
