Former General Secretary And Wife Donate Vehicle To Abura Gyabankrom District

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Apostle Albert Amoah (Retired), a former General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, together with his wife, Justice Julia Adjei Amoah (Retired High Court Judge and currently the Chief of Staff at the Ga Mantse’s Palace in Accra), has donated a KIA Sportage vehicle valued at GH₵150,000.00 to the Abura Gyabankrom District of the Church.

The donation was made on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, during a brief but significant presentation ceremony held at the couple’s residence in Abura Egotsia Kokodo, Apostle Amoah’s hometown in the Central Region.

Presenting the keys, Apostle Amoah expressed profound gratitude to God for His grace and provision, even in retirement. He emphasised that the gesture was a way of supporting the work of God in the District. He also encouraged the users of the vehicle to take good care of it and prayed that the purpose of the donation would be fully realised to the glory of God.

Receiving the keys on behalf of the Church, the Mankessim Area Head, Apostle Isaac Kofi Annan, thanked God and the donors for the timely and generous gesture. After inspecting the vehicle and praying over it, he handed it over to the District Minister, Overseer Bismark Bekoe, who also expressed heartfelt appreciation to the couple.

This donation comes as a major boost to the Abura Gyabankrom District, which has existed since 2001 without a dedicated vehicle. Earlier this year, in February 2025, the District had attempted to raise funds for the purchase of a vehicle through offerings, but the amount raised fell far short.

The unexpected gift from Apostle Albert and Justice Julia Adjei Amoah (Retired) has therefore brought great joy and relief to the leadership and members of the District.

Watch Yourselves - Apostle Samuel Oboubi Admonishes Christians web

Watch Yourselves – Apostle Samuel Obuobi Admonishes Christians

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has urged all Christians to be watchful in their walk with Christ so they do not fall prey to the schemes of the evil one.

He gave this admonition on Sunday, May 11, 2025, during a sermon at the Dar es Salaam Worship Centre in the Haatso Area of the Church.

Preaching from 2 John 7-8 on spiritual vigilance, Apostle Obuobi warned that “we must be careful in our actions, speech and doctrine so that we do not lose what we have worked for, but rather receive our full reward.”

Using the cautionary tale of Samson from Judges 16, the General Secretary illustrated how even the strongest can fall when they let down their guard. “Samson lost everything—his strength, his vision, and his freedom—because he failed to watch himself,” he said.

He further warned of modern-day deception, referencing 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, where Satan is described as disguising himself as “an angel of light.” “The enemy doesn’t always come looking dangerous,” he cautioned. “He often comes looking like everything you’ve ever wanted. That’s why we need constant discernment.”

According to him, any Christian who does not open his or her eyes very well and be watchful, might fall prey to this deception and lose his or her possessions in Christ. “The enemy doesn’t come looking dangerous,” he cautioned. “He comes as everything you’ve ever wanted. That’s why we need constant discernment.” 

Apostle Obuobi stressed that Christians who are not alert risk losing their spiritual inheritance. He added that failure to stay watchful can lead to a loss of one’s testimony, which negatively impacts the Church’s Possessing the Nations agenda.

Ending his message, Apostle Obuobi reminded believers of their divine helper in this spiritual battle, who is the Holy Spirit, adding that, when believers yield to Him daily, He gives them the strength to overcome every trap and temptation.

THE COP INVESTS OVER GHS 17 MILLION IN MEMBERS’ EDUCATION web

The COP Invests Over GHS 17 Million In Members’ Education

by with No Comment Church NewsPENTSOSTop Stories

The Church of Pentecost (CoP) invested an impressive GHS 17,186,903.75 in 2024 to support the educational aspirations of its members at various levels.

This was announced by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, during the 2024 State of the Church Address (SOCA 2024), delivered at the opening of the 47th General Council Meeting held on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh.

Apostle Nyamekye explained that this substantial investment was the result of collaborative efforts by the Church’s Districts, Areas, Ministries, and the Headquarters, all united in a shared commitment to empower members through education.

He disclosed that GHS 957,535.66 was disbursed under the Pentecost Education Scholarship Scheme (PESS) at the Headquarters level. These funds provided full scholarships—including tuition and accommodation—for tertiary students studying outside Pentecost University.

In addition, the Church allocated GHS 1,810,813.40 to support members undertaking apprenticeship training programmes, equipping them with valuable skills to build sustainable livelihoods.

The Church’s educational intervention complements government efforts by absorbing the cost of education for several students and helping to bridge funding gaps that often prevent needy but brilliant students from progressing, especially at the tertiary level.

Ghana Statistical Service data indicates that nearly 1.9 million youth aged 15 to 35 are currently not in education, employment, or training (NEET), while others face financial obstacles to completing higher education. The Church’s efforts, therefore, provide a timely and targeted intervention with long-term benefits for the country’s socioeconomic development.

It is worth noting that this intervention remains quite significant as it comes at a time when Ghana continues to grapple with youth unemployment, high dropout rates, and access challenges—despite progress under the Free SHS policy.

The Chairman also highlighted the Church’s unwavering commitment to improving healthcare. In 2024, a total of GHS 10,729,795.98 was invested to address the healthcare needs of members across all levels of the Church.

Significant healthcare infrastructure projects were completed during the year. These included the operationalisation of the Abesewa Clinic in the Abuakwa Area and the donation of a fully equipped CHPS compound to the Ghana Health Service by PIWC Graceland in the Teshie-Nungua Area, which now serves the Ayetsekope community.

“It is also gratifying to note that the newly constructed Pentecost Clinic at Teshie Praso has been officially registered under the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) and is now fully operational,” Apostle Nyamekye added.

Beyond education and health, the Church’s social impact was also felt in the area of water accessibility. Over the past five years, The Church of Pentecost has constructed 239 water facilities in rural communities across Ghana, providing clean water to more than 110,000 people who previously lacked easy access to this essential resource.

The Chairman acknowledged the role of Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS), the Church’s social intervention wing, in driving these life-changing projects. He noted that their efforts have significantly advanced Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which advocates universal access to safe and affordable drinking water and sanitation.

“In the last year alone, 35 boreholes were drilled—34 of them mechanised and one fitted with a hand pump,” he reported. “This brings the total number of water facilities provided between 2019 and 2024 to 239, all aimed at transforming lives in deprived communities.”

Through these strategic investments in education, healthcare, and water provision, The Church of Pentecost continues to affirm its commitment to holistic ministry—meeting both the spiritual and practical needs of its members and communities nationwide.

THE COP PROVIDES 239 WATER FACILITIES TO RURAL COMMUNITIES web

The COP Provides 239 Water Facilities To Rural Communities

by with No Comment Church NewsPENTSOS

Over the past five years, The Church of Pentecost (COP) has constructed 239 water facilities in rural communities across Ghana—bringing clean drinking water to more than 110,000 individuals who previously had to travel long distances to access this basic necessity.

This milestone was announced by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, during the 2024 State of the Church Address (SOCA 2024), delivered at the 47th General Council Meeting on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. The event was held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa.

Apostle Nyamekye noted that the Church’s social intervention agency, Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS), has intensified efforts to improve access to safe water, contributing significantly to Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which seeks to ensure universal access to clean water and sanitation.

“In the past year alone, 35 boreholes were drilled—34 of them mechanised and one equipped with a hand pump,” he stated. “This brings the total number of water facilities provided between 2019 and 2024 to 239, directly benefiting over 110,000 people in underserved communities.”

According to the Ghana Statistical Service’s 2022 Demographic and Health Survey, 84% of the household population in Ghana has access to at least basic drinking water services. However, this access is unevenly distributed, with urban areas at 95% and rural areas at 72%. Thus, the Church’s initiative of providing water facilities plays an instrumental role in bridging the gap in water accessibility, particularly in rural regions.

In addition to these water projects, Apostle Nyamekye highlighted several healthcare infrastructure developments completed during the year. These included the operationalisation of the Abesewa Clinic in the Abuakwa Area and the donation of a fully equipped CHPS compound to the Ghana Health Service by PIWC Graceland in the Teshie-Nungua Area, which is serving the Ayetsekope community.

“It is also gratifying to note that the newly constructed Pentecost Clinic at Teshie Praso has been officially registered under the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) and is now fully operational,” he added.

The Chairman further revealed that new healthcare facilities are under construction in Ohene Nkwanta (Konongo Area), Kumbangre (Bolga Area), and Asuadei (Abuakwa Area). Feasibility studies are also underway for clinics at Dwarf Island (Afram Plains Area), Pesator (Effiduase Area), and Dawusasu (Ashanti Bekwai Area). A specialist hospital is currently being constructed in Accra, aimed at setting new benchmarks in healthcare delivery.

In total, The Church of Pentecost invested GHS 10,729,795.98 in 2024 to support the healthcare needs of its members at various levels.

The Church also spent GHS 17,186,903.75 on educational sponsorships to support members across all levels of learning.

According to Apostle Nyamekye, this investment was made possible through the combined contributions of the Church’s Districts, Areas, Ministries, and the Headquarters.

At the Headquarters level, GHS 957,535.66 was allocated under the Pentecost Education Scholarship Scheme (PESS) to offer full scholarships—covering tuition and accommodation—for tertiary students studying outside Pentecost University.

In addition, GHS 1,810,813.40 was used to support members enrolled in apprenticeship training programmes, helping them acquire valuable skills for sustainable livelihoods.

Through these far-reaching social interventions, The Church of Pentecost continues to demonstrate its holistic commitment to transforming lives—physically, spiritually, and socially—across Ghana and beyond.

A specialist hospital is also being constructed in Accra, which is expected to set new standards for healthcare delivery in the country.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become leading causes of death in Ghana, responsible for 43% of all deaths and accounting for about 94,000 preventable deaths annually.

Given these challenges, The Church of Pentecost’s healthcare initiatives, including the construction of clinics and support for members’ medical needs, play a crucial role in supplementing national efforts to improve healthcare access and outcomes, particularly in deprived communities.

In addition to healthcare, the Church invested GHS 17,186,903.75 in educational sponsorships during the year to support members pursuing studies at various levels.

According to Apostle Nyamekye, this investment was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Church’s Districts, Areas, Ministries, and Headquarters.

At the national level, GHS 957,535.66 was disbursed through the Pentecost Education Scholarship Scheme (PESS) to provide full scholarships—including tuition and accommodation—for tertiary students studying outside Pentecost University.

Furthermore, an additional GHS 1,810,813.40 was used to support members enrolled in apprenticeship training programmes.

Through these impactful initiatives, The Church of Pentecost continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to meeting both the spiritual and physical needs of communities across Ghana.

ELDER GODSON BOATENG WINS OVER 1000 SOULS IN A SINGLE YEAR web

Elder Godson Boateng Wins Over 1000 Souls In A Single Year

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has commended the unwavering commitment of individual members of the Church to the task of soul winning.

One standout example is Elder Godson Boateng of the Offinso Area, who won 1,024 new souls through personal evangelism—comprising 615 adults and 409 children. Of these, 425 adults were baptised in water, and a new Local Assembly was established in the Tetrem District as a result of his efforts.

Presenting the State of the Church Address (SOCA) at the 47th General Council Meeting of The Church of Pentecost at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), near Gomoa Fetteh, Apostle Eric Nyamekye remarked, “In recognition of the extraordinary efforts of Elder Boateng, I am informed he received a certificate and a cash reward of GH¢3,000.00 from the Area.”

Also notable among those who made significant strides in spreading the gospel is Miss Beatrice Dzotepe, a 12-year-old Sunday School child from the Avoeme District in the Aflao Area, who single-handedly led 12 children to Christ. Beatrice committed to soul winning during the November One-Member-One-Discipled-Soul initiative, and all 12 souls have been successfully retained in the Church.

Deacon Charles Addae from the Tema Greenwich Meridian District in the Tema Area also contributed significantly by winning 92 souls, of which 61 were baptised in water. Similarly, Deaconess Comfort Korsa of the Community One District, also in the Tema Area, won 90 souls, with 61 undergoing water baptism.

“Dearly beloved, these achievements stand as a testament to our members’ unwavering commitment to spreading the gospel,” Apostle Nyamekye affirmed, adding, “We must all endeavour to be soul winners wherever we find ourselves.”

God’s Power At Work In The Church Of Pentecost- More Miracles Recorded web

God’s Power At Work In The Church Of Pentecost: More Miracles Recorded

by with No Comment Church NewsTestimoniesTop Stories

God continues to renew His covenant with The Church of Pentecost through countless miraculous happenings, transforming lives and changing destinies among its members.

In 2024, the church experienced a remarkable number of miracles attributed to the power of the Holy Spirit. Notable occurrences included the restoration of sight for the blind, the return of hearing for individuals with deafness, the ability of the paralysed to walk, the healing of cancerous cells, the restoration of kidney function, and the blessing of couples with children after prolonged periods of infertility, among numerous other miraculous events.

This was disclosed by the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and President of the Ghana Pentecostal Council (GPCC), Apostle Eric Nyamekye, during the opening ceremony of the 47th Session of the General Council Meetings at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

A few of the miraculous happenings in the church across the globe have been captured as follows:

In Bantama Extension District in the Kwadaso Area, Kumasi, Dr Abena Nyantakyiwaa, a medical doctor, experienced miraculous healing from four years of internal bleeding that had shut down her reproductive system. Despite her husband being a senior gynecologist, medical treatment, including monthly blood drainages, was ineffective. During prayer organised by the church, she encountered Jesus Christ and was instantly healed. A subsequent check-up confirmed her healing, revealing her uterus was now open for conception, with doctors affirming her ability to conceive and give birth.

In May 2024, Mama Obuor in the Darkuman District of the Kaneshie Area in Accra experienced a distressing incident when her handbag containing GH¢35,000.00 was stolen at her workplace. The church gathered to pray and intercede on her behalf. Remarkably, just a day after their prayers, the thief, unable to sleep due to visions of fire erupting from the bag containing the money, decided to return it, with the full amount intact.

In the Berekum Area, Agnes Appiah, who had been diagnosed with an inflammatory breast disease in both breasts, attended a convention organised by the church. After she was prayed for, she felt a sense of healing. The following day, she visited the hospital for another scan, and the results confirmed that the inflammation had indeed vanished from her breasts.

During the climax of the 2024 officers’ retreat organised by the Teshie-Nungua Area, a couple, Elder Patrick and Deaconess Florence Djan, came forward seeking the blessing of children after 15 years of marriage. With heartfelt prayers offered for them, they were joyfully granted the gift of twins, to the glory of God.

In Walewale, a Fulani man named Abduli Alidu and his wife, Yennu-nboib, sought help from the Kambatiak District Minister of the church regarding a pregnancy that had lasted one year and two weeks. They had already consulted various native doctors and shrines, along with a visit to the hospital, where doctors informed them that a cesarean section was the only way she could safely give birth. This news filled them with fear. However, after the pastor prayed with them, the woman miraculously gave birth the next day. Grateful for this blessing, the man brought his wife and their two children to accept Christ, and they are now proud members of the church.

Martin Asiedu, a member of the church in the Ofankor District of the Achimota Area, was admitted to the hospital in May 2024 due to severe stomach pains stemming from kidney stones. He was scheduled for surgery two days later. However, the day before the procedure, the presbytery visited him and offered prayers for him. In a remarkable turn of events, Mr Asiedu returned for his surgery only to find, after a thorough series of tests, that the kidney stones had completely vanished.

Mrs Rhoda Baah Acheamfour, wife of Pastor Isaac Baah Acheamfour of Offinso Namong District, was diagnosed with cancer of the womb at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. She was given the option of total removal of the womb or to undergo chemotherapy due to the severity of the cancer. She started chemotherapy, and prayers were offered on her behalf. To the glory of God, she was completely healed. She afterwards conducted several tests and was declared fit by KATH. She conceived thereafter and gave birth to a baby boy.

In Indonesia, Emelda from Jakarta was instantly healed of an arthritis condition in the legs when she was prayed for in April 2024. Again, Mama Dorcas of East Nusa Tenggara, also in Indonesia, who had been in a wheelchair for several years, could now walk after the prayers of the saints.

Mr Yuseef, a resident of Tubli in the Kingdom of Bahrain, experienced a remarkable recovery from a ruptured knee ligament. During an evening walk from a shopping mall, our resident missionary and his spouse encountered Mr Yuseef outside his home. After receiving permission, the missionary fervently offered a prayer for his healing. To the glory of God, Mr Yuseef experienced an instant recovery.
