The programme ran from Tuesday, March 10 to Sunday, March 15, and focused on equipping participants with practical skills and economic opportunities.

Speaking at the event, the Resident Minister, Pastor Alex Nsiah, said the initiative was designed to provide basic skills, mentorship, networking opportunities and access to products to help improve livelihoods.

Evening sessions featured business-focused teaching delivered by a team of church leaders and members. Topics included building livelihoods from God-given gifts, starting with available resources, sustaining businesses and finances, and balancing faith with work.

On Saturday, participants received hands-on training in skills such as fast-food preparation, pastry making, production of powdered and liquid soap, cake soap, beading, and fascinator and hatinator creation.

During Sunday’s sermon, Elder Dr Makafui Nyamadi, Ho Area Deacon, encouraged participants to remain diligent. Quoting 2 Thessalonians 3:10, he stated that those unwilling to work should not expect to eat and urged individuals to add value to their skills to increase their earning potential.

An exhibition of goods and services formed part of the programme, featuring Christian literature, food items, clothing, accessories and household products. Representatives from banks and insurance companies were also present to offer financial services.

The programme attracted participation from beyond the church, with several community members benefiting from the training and services provided. Participants expressed satisfaction with the initiative and called for it to be organised regularly.

Quoting Acts 1:8, he noted that the Holy Spirit empowers Christians with divine ability, efficiency, and might to become effective witnesses of Christ.

Drawing lessons from the life of King Saul, he emphasised that a genuine encounter with the Holy Spirit begins with a transformation of the heart, which ultimately leads to a complete change in a person’s life. According to him, “when the Spirit of God comes upon a person, He gives him another heart and turns him into another man.”

Apostle Obuobia further stated that the transformative power of the Holy Spirit enables believers to operate in the supernatural, citing the experiences of the apostles who performed extraordinary miracles through the power of the Spirit.

He added that beyond transformation, the Holy Spirit also leads individuals into their God-ordained destiny, irrespective of their background or limitations.

by with No Comment Church NewsHUMTop Stories

The Koforidua Sector of Home and Urban Missions, a ministry of The Church of Pentecost, has intensified its commitment to youth empowerment by organising a drug addiction awareness campaign at Pentecost Senior High School in Koforidua.

The programme, held on March 22, 2026, drew over 2,000 students who were educated on the realities of substance abuse and its growing threat to young people. Facilitators guided the students through discussions on the meaning of addiction, commonly abused substances, and the social, academic, and spiritual consequences of drug misuse. Particular emphasis was placed on how substance abuse undermines discipline, academic excellence, and future aspirations.

Key speakers included Overseer James Amoa-Mensah, HUM Pastor for the Koforidua Sector, and Dr Mrs Grace Owusu Aboagye, a consultant pharmacist and psychiatrist, who provided professional insights into the medical and psychological dimensions of addiction. Overseer Richard Da-Rocha, Chaplain of PENSEC, also participated in the event, reinforcing the school’s commitment to moral and spiritual formation.

The campaign also featured counselling sessions facilitated by a team of professionals and HUM workers. Many students responded positively, with more than 100 learners receiving personal counselling support during the exercise. In a remarkable spiritual outcome, about 120 students made decisions to accept Christ, reflecting the programme’s gospel-centred approach.

The initiative was supported by Cowbell Twisco, which provided refreshments for participants and rewarded students who performed well in the interactive quiz segment.

The campaign forms part of a broader strategy by HUM to partner with senior high schools within the sector to combat drug abuse, promote responsible behaviour, and encourage students to remain focused on their academic and spiritual development. The ministry continues to target vulnerable and unreached groups as part of its evangelistic and social outreach mandate.

The Kingdom of God Is Not Just Talk but Power – Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has called on Christians to depend on the power of the Holy Spirit in proclaiming the gospel, stressing that the Kingdom of God is demonstrated not merely by words but by divine power.

Apostle Obuobi made this call when he, together with his wife, worshipped with the Pentecost International Worship Centre Ablekuma on Sunday, March 15, 2025.

Preaching on the theme “The Gospel and Power,” the General Secretary explained that Jesus Christ set the ultimate example of a life empowered by the Holy Spirit, noting that believers are expected to follow the same pattern in their Christian walk and ministry.

Quoting Acts 1:8, he reminded the congregation that Jesus promised His disciples power through the Holy Spirit to enable them to become effective witnesses to the ends of the earth.

According to him, the ministry of Jesus clearly demonstrated the manifestation of divine power. He noted that Christ’s authority was evident in His teachings, which astonished listeners because He spoke with authority and not like the scribes.

Apostle Obuobi further explained that Jesus also demonstrated power through miracles, healing the sick and delivering those oppressed by demons, thereby confirming that the Kingdom of God operates through the power of God.

“The kingdom of God is not just a matter of talk but of power,” he emphasised, citing the apostle Paul’s teaching to highlight that the gospel must be accompanied by the demonstration of the Spirit’s power.

The General Secretary also spoke about the central message of the gospel; Christ’s death, burial and resurrection, which forms the foundation of salvation and must be proclaimed to all nations.

Reflecting on the events leading to the Day of Pentecost, he explained that Jesus instructed His disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they were clothed with power from on high. This promise was fulfilled when the Holy Spirit descended upon them, empowering them to boldly proclaim the gospel.

He noted that the early church experienced remarkable growth because the apostles preached the gospel backed by the power of the Holy Spirit, resulting in miracles, healings and transformed lives.

Apostle Obuobi therefore urged Christians to recognise that they are carriers of the same divine power through the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ Is the Source of Divine Health – Apostle Davidson

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

The Area Head of The Church of Pentecost in Sefwi Wiawso, Apostle Samuel Edzii Davidson, has stated that divine health is essential for fulfilling one’s God-given destiny, emphasising that Jesus Christ remains the accredited provider of a healthy and whole life for believers.

He made the remark during the morning session of the ongoing “Sefwi For Christ” crusade on March 13, 2026, at The Church of Pentecost Central Auditorium in Sefwi Bekwai.

Speaking on the topic “Jesus Christ, the Accredited Healthy Life Provider”, he drew lessons from the Third Epistle of John 1:2, explaining that good health is essential for fulfilling one’s destiny, noting that physical weakness and illness can easily become major distractions in life.

“If you are healthy, you are able to fulfil your destiny,” he said, adding that persistent pain or sickness can divide a person’s focus and hinder productivity.

Referencing Mark 12:29–30, he noted that a person who is not healthy may struggle to fully concentrate on serving God and contributing meaningfully to society.

He stressed that divine health is part of God’s desire for His people, citing Matthew 8:1–2 to affirm that God does not intend for His children to remain in a state of infirmity but desires to heal and restore them.

Apostle Davidson further encouraged believers to have confidence in God’s power to heal, referencing John 5:14–15, which assures believers that God hears and answers prayers offered according to His will.

“If it is the will of God for you to be well, no devil can keep you sick,” he stated.

He concluded by urging believers to demonstrate faith in the gospel by stepping forward in faith and doing what they could not previously do, describing divine health as “the bread for God’s children” and a powerful testimony that can inspire others.
