Life-Saving Intervention: How COP Medical Team Saved Mother, Baby

On December 28, 2024, a remarkable act of compassion and medical intervention took place in Amedzrovi, a remote village in the Yapei Kusawgu District of Ghana’s Savannah Region.

During the medical outreach organised by the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, a young mother and her newborn were saved from a life-threatening situation.

The young mother, identified as Adjo James Adator, faced severe complications after giving birth on her way to the clinic. She was being transported on a motor tricycle but had to return home due to the distance and the urgency of the situation.

Shortly after delivery, she experienced severe postpartum hemorrhaging. With no ambulance available and the nearest health facility over an hour and a half away, the situation was critical.

Providentially, the Church’s medical outreach team was in the village conducting a film evangelism programme. The team, led by Elder Dr Ken Aboah, was alerted about the emergency situation at  about 10:30 PM. Upon arriving at the scene, the mother was found in hemorrhagic shock with a dangerously low blood pressure of 77/35 mmHg and a rapid pulse of 121 beats per minute.

Despite limited resources, the dedicated team, comprising five medical doctors, an anesthetist, a midwife, and a neonatal specialist, worked tirelessly to stabilise both the mother and baby. After providing initial care, the team transported the mother to Yapei Polyclinic in their bus.

At the clinic, the team collaborated with the facility’s staff to address the complications, including a cervical tear and retained products of conception. The mother was severely anemic with a hemoglobin level of 8.5.

Dr Aboah personally intervened to secure a unit of blood for her transfusion,  while the team paid her medical expenses, donated GH₵500.00 to her, and provided a full piece of cloth to her family.

The baby, cared for by the neonatal specialist, was also stabilised, ensuring the safety of both mother and child.

Reflecting on the experience, Dr Aboah remarked, ‘It was truly the hand of God at work. Every member of the team played a vital role, and we are grateful to have been there to save her life.’

The outreach also yielded spiritual fruits, as the team ministered the gospel to the community, leading to the salvation of 93 people – 42 adults, 51 children, and five Fulani individuals – accepting Christ.

685 Souls Saved At ‘Kintampo For Christ Crusade’

Six Hundred and Eighty-Five persons gave their lives to Jesus Christ during a 4-day gospel crusade organised by the Kintampo Area of The Church of Pentecost.

The crusade, dubbed ‘Kintampo for Christ Mega Crusade,’ which was held between November 19-22, 2024, at the Kintampo Presby Park, attracted people from within the Kintampo township and surrounding areas. Fourteen Muslims gave their lives to Christ and 219 backslidden Christians also rededicated their lives to the Lord during the crusade.

Speaking on the crusade’s theme, ‘Jesus came to seek and save the lost’ (Luke 19:10), Apostle Francis Agyemang Badu, the Kintampo Area Head, explained that God’s plan to reconcile man to himself fully culminated in the mission of Jesus to seek the lost and bring them salvation. An invitation was then extended to all who were yet to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour to come to him, to which scores of people, both young and old, responded and surrendered their lives to the Lord Jesus.

Other activities at the crusade included a medical outreach, which provided free medical screening and medication for close to 200 people living in and around Kintampo.

The crusade formed part of Kintampo Area’s November aggressive evangelism month, during which various evangelistic outreaches were carried out across all districts in the Area, with many more people giving their lives to Christ.

Cape Area Ends ‘Season of God’s Visitation’ web

Cape Coast Area Ends ‘Season of God’s Visitation’

As part of the initiative of the Cape Coast Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Amos Jimmy Markin, the Area has observed 40 days of fasting and prayers dubbed, ‘A Season of God’s Visitation,’ under the theme: ‘Hastening His Coming, Living for Him, and Making Him Known’ (2 Peter 3:10-12).

The season was full of testimonies, healings, deliverance, and revival among the people, attesting to God’s visitation.

As part of the season, a mega all-night service dubbed, ‘Unction Night’ was held at the forecourt of the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Friday, November 8, 2024. The ‘Unction Night’ which was attended by over 3,000 members, brought together all districts in the area, including PENSA UCC, PENSA CCTU and PENSA CCNMTC. It was graced by Apostle Yaw Adjei-Kwarteng (Kwadaso Area Head and RCC Coordinator for the Ashanti Region) and Apostle Sylvester Arhin (Takoradi Area Head and RCC Coordinator for the Western Region), both members of the Executive Council.

During the testimony time, a brother shared a testimony of how his sister, who previously tested positive for HIV/AIDS, tested negative after joining the 40 days fasting and prayer as well as participating in the online prayers.

Apostle Yaw Adjei-Kwarteng preached on the topic, ‘Restoration,’ explaining restoration as bringing something back to its original state.

Reading from Joel 2:22 and Mark 8:22-26, he indicated that God has restored whatever the church lost and will give His church unction rains because He is faithful.

He emphasised that God is a restorer, offering second chances, and that restoration occurs when His people repent. He highlighted six key ‘Rs’ of the Lord during restoration: God Renews, God Returns, God Revives, God Re-establishes, God Restitutes, and God Renovates.

An impartation session dubbed ‘Unction Session’ led by Apostle Dr Jimmy Markin, stimulated a great revival which broke out from pastors to the members where all were filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. Giftings were revived and healings were all over the place. The meeting ended in glory.

Man Accepts Jesus, Surrenders Charms For Burning web

Man Accepts Jesus, Surrenders Charms For Burning

A young man named Kwasi surrendered his charms for burning after accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and personal Saviour.

This significant event occurred when a group of youth from the Tema Greenwich Meridian District English Assembly of The Church of Pentecost evangelised to him during the November Aggressive Evangelism.

Kwasi explained that he used the charms for protection and to attract girls. He claimed it allowed him to cause trouble without facing consequences. He recounted being attacked three times with machetes but stated that he was unharmed due to the charms, which he believed prevented cuts on his skin.

Moved by the Word of God, Kwasi realised that the charm provided only temporary protection. With this understanding, he chose to give his life to Christ. After surrendering his charm for burning, he was baptised in water.

Pastor Dr. Suleman De-Graft Issaka, who supervised both the burning of the charms and the water baptism, encouraged Kwasi to remain steadfast in his faith. He emphasised that Christ offers a stronger form of protection than any charm or power.

He also praised Elder Emmanuel Arko Baffoe, the Presiding Elder, Elder Koomson, the Local Evangelism Ministry Leader, and the entire team for their commendable efforts.

49 Souls Won At Tepa For Christ Crusade

A four-day crusade organised by the Tepa Area of The Church of Pentecost, dubbed ‘No Jesus No Life’ (1 John 5:11-12) as part of the November Aggressive Evangelism in the Area, has ended with 49 souls won for Christ. Twenty-five of the new converts were baptised by immersion.

The crusade, which took place November 6-8, 2024, at the Tepa New Station was marked by a series of activities, including Holy Ghost and healing sessions, ‘Jesus March’ through the principal streets, medical outreach, house-to-house, and personal evangelism.

Prior to the crusade, several activities were conducted, including seminars for the ministers, Gospel Heralds/Ushers & Counselors, fasting and prayers in August and October 2024, and ‘Jesus March’ through the principal streets of the Tepa Municipality.

The Tepa Area Head, Apostle David Nii-Addo Pappoe, in a sermon to open the crusade on Wednesday stated that anyone who does not have Christ does not have the life of God in him. This life, he said, is called the ‘Zoe life.’

He explained that when one receives Christ, he becomes a new creation and that death and sin have no control over him again, saying, ‘In fact, he has passed on from death to life and darkness into light.’ 

Pastor Enoch Mensah, Tepa-Beposo District Minister, speaking on Thursday said Christ is the giver of eternal life. According to him, Jesus Christ is the only accredited saviour of the world, and there is no one else like Him.

He averted that God will judge humanity one day and that whosoever believes in Jesus shall not attract the judgement and wrath of God.

Pastor Stephen Larbi, the Tepa Area Evangelism leader, climaxed the crusade on Friday, speaking to the main theme ‘No Jesus No Life.’ He also espoused that salvation is available for all who call upon the name of Jesus and believes in Him.

Health screening and blood donation was also organised on the Saturday morning following with house-to-house and one-on-one evangelism.

“Kenyase For Christ Crusade” Begins web

“Kenyase For Christ Crusade” Begins

“Kenyase For Christ Crusade,” a much-anticipated mega Gospel crusade being organised by the New Tafo Area of The Church of Pentecost, under the headship of Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku, has kicked off at the Kenyase M/A School Park in Kumasi.

The event, which began on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, and will conclude on Saturday, November 23, 2024, with a medical outreach, is themed: “Jesus Christ—Life That Satisfies,” (Colossians 3:3-4, 1 John 5:11-12).

In his sermon delivered on the opening day, Apostle Victor Kwasi Asamoah, the Bompata Area Head, discussed how humanity lost the incredible gift of eternal life that God provided in the Garden of Eden due to sin. He stated that sin leads to severe consequences, including spiritual, physical, and eternal deaths. He pointed out that as a result of Adam’s original sin, all people inherit a sinful nature, making every human a sinner by default (Romans 3:23). However, he reassured the congregation that through Christ Jesus, this lost eternal life is restored (Romans 6:23).

Apostle Kwasi Asamoah emphasised that salvation is found exclusively in Christ Jesus, asserting that faith in Him is the sole path to eternal life, saying, “As believers, our lives are hidden with Christ in God.” He urged those who have not yet accepted Jesus as their Lord to do so to escape the fate of eternal death.

He concluded, stating, “Whoever is born once, of the flesh, will die twice—once physically and once eternally. But those who are born twice—first through physical birth and then through spiritual rebirth in Christ—will only face physical death.”

Other speakers at the event include Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku (Host), Apostle Daniel Yeboah Nsaful (Old Tafo Area Head), Apostle Peter Dzemekey (Asokwa Area Head), Apostle Samuel Edzii Davidson (Offinso Area Head), and Apostle Joseph Danzrel (Achimota Area Head).

The rest are Elder Felix Atsirim (Presiding Elder, Mount Olive Worship Centre, Odorkor) and Elder Godfred Asare (Leader, Konongo Prayer Centre).

The opening day of the crusade witnessed a mighty move of the Holy Spirit as twenty-two people responded to the altar call, and all of them were baptised in water, with several others testifying that they had been healed of various ailments.

No Man Can Take Away The Peace Of Ghana – Sam George Declares web

No Man Can Take Away The Peace Of Ghana – Sam George Declares

Samuel Nartey George, Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, has warned that the wrath of God will fall on anyone who tries to take away the peace of Ghana.

He cautioned politicians against any actions that could disrupt the peace Ghana is currently enjoying, asserting that they will not succeed.

In an interview with Pentecost News at the sidelines of the Greater Accra Unleashed Crusade, organised by The Church of Pentecost at the Black Star Square in Accra on Thursday night, the MP assured Ghanaians that the peace of the Lord Jesus will continue to reign supreme in the country.

He said: ‘No man, whichever political party, will take away the peace that God has given this country and think that they can lead.’

Hon. Sam George acknowledged that the forthcoming election is a very critical one with high stakes, as it involves a former President and a sitting Vice President vying for the presidency, which is likely to heighten tensions in the country. However, he stated, “But with the church stepping in this way and reminding us that before politics, we are Ghanaians, the peace of the land will be safeguarded.’

The Ningo-Prampram MP urged young people not to allow themselves to be used by politicians as agents of violence.

‘To politicians, the wrath of God will fall on anyone who tries to take away the peace of this country,’ he said, adding, ‘And to the people of Ghana as a whole, we are a Christian nation, a nation loved by God, and as people of God, we must act according to His will and purposes because it is God who crowns and enthrones kings.’

He called on all Ghanaians to do their part to maintain the peace of the country, saying, ‘We must know that we are all ultimately accountable to the Most High God.’

The Miraculous Transformation Of The Kumi Family web

The Miraculous Transformation Of The Kumi Family

The Greater Accra Unleashed Crusade witnessed a powerful testimony on Friday night, leaving the crowd in awe of God’s redemptive power. The immediate past General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi, shared the incredible story of his family’s journey from darkness to light with deep emotion.

Born into a family plagued by curses and spiritual attacks, Alexander described a childhood filled with fear, sickness, and hopelessness. His father, once a hardworking man, fell into alcoholism and despair, leading the family down a path of increasing turmoil. Spiritualists and fetish priests had predicted that the Kumi family would never prosper.

But everything changed when Alexander encountered Jesus Christ in 1978. ‘Jesus, the game changer, came into my life and turned our destiny around,’ he said emotionally. After a divine encounter that led to his conversion at a Scripture Union (SU) meeting, Alexander discarded all the occult items his family had relied on for protection. From that moment, the spiritual attacks ceased, and his life began to flourish.

One by one, members of the Kumi family experienced their own encounters with Christ. His sister Mary, once bound by evil spiritual forces, was freed after she accepted Jesus. Today, she is a retired nurse and a deaconess, blessed with a family of her own.

His brother Seth, who was told by prophets that he would go blind if he attended school, defied the curse and is now a retired professional, serving as an Area Deacon in The Church of Pentecost.

Perhaps the most astonishing transformation was that of his younger sister Christie, who was prophesied to die if she pursued education. Despite these dire warnings, she overcame the odds and is now a senior lecturer at the University of Cape Coast, holding multiple degrees, including a PhD and academic honours.

Alexander himself, now an engineer, consultant, and minister of the gospel, once battled intense spiritual warfare but now stands as a testament to God’s grace.

In his testimony, Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi urged those still bound by spiritual darkness to turn to Jesus, the only one who can truly save and deliver, saying, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

The Kumi family’s story is a powerful reminder that no situation is beyond God’s reach. Their transformation from a family cursed and oppressed to one flourishing in Christ is a testimony to the life-changing power of the gospel.

Sam George Dazzled By Unleashed Crusade

The Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Hon. Samuel Nartey George, has commended Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, for leading the church to stage one of the most impactful crusades ever held in Ghana.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Greater Accra Unleashed Crusade at the Black Star Square, Accra, on Thursday night [August 22, 2024], the firebrand MP was full of praise for Apostle Nyamekye and the leadership of the church for their selfless commitment to mobilising leaders and young people to the feet of Jesus and shaping the spiritual future of the country.

According to him, The Church of Pentecost has exemplified the Great Commission mandate, which emphasises the importance of going out, evangelising, and spreading the gospel, rather than solely focusing on bringing people to church or remaining comfortable in one’s own space.

Hon. Sam George and other Parliamentarians, led by the Speaker, Right Hon. Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, stormed the Independence Square last night to participate in the mega crusade, which drew thousands of worshippers from all over Accra.

The Greater Accra Unleashed Crusade, spearheaded by the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, took place from Tuesday, August 20, to Friday, August 24, 2024. It was under the theme, ‘Be Reconciled To Him’ (2 Corinthians 5:19).
