Members of the Pentecost International Worship Centre in Nkawkaw (PIWC-Nkawkaw) participated in a mountain-climbing exercise, dubbed: “The Coconut Walk,” to observe Holy Saturday.

The Coconut Walk was a lively event that featured music and enthusiastic participants who were determined to make it to the peak of the mountain.

Despite the lethargic pace of the walk, members of the Church marched on, holding placards with gospel messages hoping to reach out to as many revellers as possible.

They also distributed PIWC-Nkawkaw flyers inviting them to join the Church for Sunday service.

The walk ended at the Obomeng Methodist School Park, where the participants engaged in aerobics and other cardiovascular activities, accompanied by music. They were then treated to a breakfast and refreshing coconut.

The event was a resounding success, as 47 people surrendered their lives to Christ during the altar call led by the Resident Minister, Pastor Benjamin Asare. Eleven of the recorded souls underwent water baptism, an indication of the impact of the event.

The Coconut Walk was, indeed, a great opportunity for members of PIWC-Nkawkaw to spread the gospel and win souls while also promoting healthy living.

Twenty residents of Aweregya in the Kwahu Traditional Area of Ghana responded to the call to receive Jesus Christ during a film evangelism exercise organised by the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost at the Aweregya Community Park, yesterday.

The event, which was organised in collaboration with the Pra River District of the Church, is part of activities for the four-day Easter outreach in the Kwahu Traditional Area of Ghana.

Using a series of graphical footages, Elder Justice Kusi of the Evangelism Ministry Directorate shared the gospel message of Christ with residents of the community who had thronged the park.

He said that life on earth was too short and uncertain the reason why all must receive Christ, who offers life in abundance. Elder Kusi indicated that the world has nothing better to offer humanity except for tragedy, misery and misfortune.

He further explained that humankind is distinct from all other creations of God because they precious to Him. He said that the delicate nature of the birth process all point to the fact that God has high regard for them.

Elder Kusi, therefore, called on all who are yet to accept Christ to do so in order accomplish the purpose for which God created them.

He warned that every human being would one day account for their life on earth and, therefore, every individual must make the decision to either choose eternal life or eternal damnation.

Twenty of the onlookers responded to the altar call made by Elder Kusi, and were led to accept Christ by Elder Ebenezer Twum, Presiding Elder of the Aweregya Assembly.

The converts were each presented a Bible to aid their spiritual growth.

A Trustee of The Church of Pentecost, Elder Dr. Ken Aboah Esq., has charged Christians to make evangelism a personal lifestyle in order to reach more people with the gospel.

He explained that the greatest obstacle to evangelism is Christians who do not share the gospel, attributing this phenomenon to the absence of the love of God in the life of the believer.

Elder Dr. Aboah who is also a National Executive Committee (NEC) Member of the Evangelism Ministry gave the charge when he spoke on the theme: ‘The local church in Evangelism” at the 2023 Global Ministers and Wives’ Conference currently underway at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh, near Kasoa.

He posited that when Christians preached the gospel with the power of God, backed by the Holy Spirit and prayers, nobody can thwart the plans of God in making the hearers of the Word come to the saving knowledge of Christ.

“The only good news in the world today is that Jesus died to save sinners, and this must be preached daily. Don’t let one day pass by without sharing the gospel,” he reiterated.

Referring to God’s covenant with The Church of Pentecost coupled with his personal evangelistic ministry, Dr. Aboah bemoaned the gradual emerging trend of altar calls not being made during church services in some local assemblies of the church.

“We have to make sure to hand over to our children the tenets in the covenant; and the key factor for the growth and sustenance of the church around the globe is aggressive evangelism,” Lawyer Aboah stated.

To this end, he appealed to the ministers and their wives to continuously preach on the second coming of Christ (eschatology). He emphasized that the unreached people in the world could be reach with the word of God through deliberate prayers, planning, preparations, and presentation of the gospel.

Elder Dr. Aboah further called for more financial investment in the evangelistic drive of the church and members undertaking such endeavours.

He used the opportunity to recommend the Schools Outreach Ministry, the Church on the Ocean (reaching out to seamen, fisherfolks) and Prayer Evangelism (scheduling prayer sessions for specific groups) and Festival Evangelism as emerging forms of evangelism which has great impact worthy to be undertaken for maximum results.

A three-day gospel and healing crusade organised by the Tamale Area of The Church of Pentecost, in collaboration with Soul Partners International, at the Salaga Senior High School in the Northern Region of Ghana, recorded 297 souls to the glory of God.

The crusade, dubbed “Salaga for Christ,” was held from December 8 to 10, 2022, in morning and evening sessions.

The morning sessions focused on prayer, fasting, Holy Ghost baptism, and teachings, whilst the evening session was dedicated to the proclamation of the Gospel message of Christ.

The officials of Souls Partners International, collaborated with the Health Workers Guild of the Tamale Area to organise medical screening exercises during the morning sessions.

Speaking at an evening session of the crusade, the Tamale Area Head and Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Sylvester Arhin, asserted that Jesus is the only Saviour of the world and that eternal life can be found in no one else but Him.

“The son of God manifested in the flesh to save man from the power of sin and give us eternal life,” he said.

Apostle Arhin, therefore, urged all who are yet to surrender their lives to Jesus to do so and obtain eternal life.

At the end of the crusade, 297 people accepted Christ as their Lord and personal Saviour; 156 of them underwent water baptism by immersion.

Soul Partners International is a US-based non-profit Christian organisation founded by Dr. Nathaniel Owusu, his wife, Gifty Nana Akua Owusu, and Dr. Harriet Kussi in October 2018.
