Elder Godson Boateng Wins Over 1000 Souls In A Single Year

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.”

The Church Of Pentecost Won 432,470 Souls For Christ In 2024

Through sustained and intensified evangelism efforts, The Church of Pentecost led 432,470 individuals to Christ globally last year.

Out of this number, 351,981 new converts joined The Church of Pentecost, while 80,489 opted to fellowship with other Christian denominations—largely due to existing affiliations or geographical proximity. This milestone was achieved through a record 461,844 evangelistic outreaches, marking an 18.3% increase from the 390,545 outreaches conducted in 2023.

The figures were disclosed by Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of the Church, during the 2024 State of the Church Address (SOCA) at the 47th General Council Meeting held on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa-Fetteh.

Highlighting the fruit of these efforts, Apostle Nyamekye announced that 245,637 of the souls won—representing 69.8%—were baptised in water, leading to the establishment of new Assemblies and Districts across the globe.

“As of December 2024, the Church had 27,106 Assemblies and 3,183 Districts worldwide. This represents a 2.2% increase in Assemblies and a 4.3% rise in Districts compared to the previous year,” the Chairman reported, attributing the growth to the grace of God and the Church’s missional focus.

While noting that the Church has nearly saturated its territorial reach in Ghana, Apostle Nyamekye underscored the continued urgency of evangelism, both locally and internationally.

“These remarkable successes are a testament to our members’ unwavering commitment to spreading the gospel,” he stated.

Among the many inspiring stories shared, Apostle Nyamekye singled out Elder Godson Boateng of the Offinso Area, who led 1,024 souls—comprising 615 adults and 409 children—to Christ in 2024.

He also applauded the efforts of 12-year-old Miss Beatrice Dzotepe, a Sunday School child in the Avoeme District (Aflao Area), who led 12 children to the Lord during the November One-Member-One-Discipled-Soul initiative. All 12 new converts have been successfully integrated into the Church.

The State of the Church Address (SOCA) is an annual report presented by the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, typically during the opening session of the General Council Meetings—the highest decision-making body of the Church. Modeled in part after the “State of the Nation” format, SOCA provides a comprehensive overview of the Church’s spiritual, administrative, and social interventions for the previous year.

This year’s General Council Meeting, which officially commenced on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, is being held under the theme: “Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling” (Ephesians 4:1; 1 Thessalonians 4:7; Galatians 1:24).

Eternal Life Is Found Only In Christ! – Aps. Sylvester Arhin web

Eternal Life Is Found Only In Christ! – Aps. Sylvester Arhin

Apostle Sylvester Arhin, the RCC Coordinator for the Western Region and Takoradi Area Head, has asserted that God has made eternal life available for all, however this divine life is found only in Jesus Christ!

Apostle Arhin said this when he preached yesterday at the “Central Region for Christ” crusade at the Cape Coast Jubilee Park.

In his sermon, the Takoradi Area Head emphasized that Jesus Christ is the sole source of true life and salvation, while highlighting the devastating effect of sin and the transformative power of Christ to deliver humanity.

Using Mark 1:40-45 as his scriptural foundation, he recounted the story of a leper who, despite societal rejection, approached Jesus in faith and was miraculously healed.

This, he explained, serves as a powerful reminder that no matter the depth of one’s struggles, Jesus has the power to cleanse, restore, and grant newness of life.

Apostle Arhin issued a solemn warning: “Sin leads to eternal separation from God. Like leprosy, it may start small, but it eventually consumes and destroys. Sin is a death sentence.”

He urged all present to reflect on the leper’s story, recognizing it as an invitation for all—regardless of past mistakes—to approach Jesus in faith and experience His life-changing touch.

In a passionate call to salvation, Apostle Arhin proclaimed: “Jesus is willing; He will touch you and make you whole. Run to Him!”

He further admonished the congregation, stressing that Jesus Christ is the only antidote to whatever leads to eternal damnation.

“God has eternal life for His children, and this life is found in His Son, Jesus. Run to Him! Eternal life and the forgiveness of sins await you.”

With great fervor, he continued, “The touch of Christ heals, delivers, and completely transforms. He is the only answer to the burdens of sin. Run to Jesus for salvation, newness, hope, and healing!”

As he concluded his message, the altar was opened for those who sought salvation, reinforcing the central theme that Jesus remains the ultimate giver of abundant and eternal life.

The evening was marked by divine encounters, including the miraculous healing of a woman who testified to the power and glory of God.

JESUS CHRIST HAS THE POWER TO SAVE AND DELIVER web

Jesus Christ Has The Power To Save And Deliver – Aps. Emmanuel Kwesi Appiah

The Evangelism Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Kwesi Appiah, has emphatically declared that Jesus Christ alone possesses the power to save, deliver, and heal completely.

Speaking at “Central Region for Christ” Crusade under the theme “Jesus Christ, the Giver of Abundant Life,” Apostle Appiah underscored the unmatched authority of Christ in transforming lives and restoring destinies.

Drawing from Hebrews 2:25, he explained that, unlike the high priests of Israel, who had limited lifespans and were replaced upon their death, Jesus Christ remains our eternal High Priest.

He continues to intercede for humanity, rescuing us from the grip of sin and offering redemption to all who call upon His name.

Apostle Appiah contrasted the mission of Jesus Christ with the destructive agenda of the devil as described in John 10:10.

He asserted that while the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus Christ provides life—and not just ordinary life, but abundant life.

Quoting Colossians 2:13-15, he affirmed that Jesus has publicly triumphed over the forces of darkness, disarming the enemy and granting complete freedom to those who believe in Him.

“There is no other way to come to God except through Jesus. No alternative path leads to salvation,” Apostle Appiah declared firmly.

He stressed that Jesus Christ is the climax of salvation, and the ultimate goal of salvation is eternal life.

Using vivid imagery, Apostle Appiah described the enemy as a ‘robber’ whose arms make him dangerous. However, he reassured the congregation that Jesus has disarmed the devil for the sake of believers.

“Anyone who desires this abundant life must come to Jesus, for without Him, one remains in condemnation,” he stated solemnly.

He further outlined the devil’s three-step agenda – to steal, kill, and destroy—contrasting it with Jesus’ two-step provision: to give life and to give it more abundantly.

He urged the congregation to make a conscious decision to accept Jesus Christ, emphasizing that salvation is found in Him alone.

“This salvation not only secures eternal life but also restores everything the enemy has stolen,” he added.

Concluding his message, Apostle Appiah reassured the audience that Jesus, the Good Shepherd, continues to intercede for His people.

He extended an altar call, inviting those who wished to receive the abundant life found in Christ. In a remarkable response, 101 souls surrendered their lives to Christ, 78 underwent water baptism, and 15 received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Gives Life In Absolute Abundance – Apostle Dr. Jimmy Markin

The Cape Coast Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Amos Jimmy Markin, has emphasized that an encounter with Jesus Christ does not only transform one’s earthly existence but also secures an eternal destiny.

He said this when he preached on the theme: “Jesus, The Giver of Life,” to a large and expectant congregation at the Cape Coast Jubilee Park last Tuesday night.

Citing John 10:10, he declared, “The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; but I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.”

He explained that when Jesus steps into a person’s life, their destiny is irrevocably changed for good.

Apostle Markin reassured the audience that no one is beyond the reach of Christ’s love and saving grace.

Drawing from Luke 19:10, he stated, “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

He stressed that regardless of one’s background, status, or past failures, Jesus has been seeking them with relentless love.

“Jesus is the one who takes the most overlooked and insignificant person in society, restores them, and brings them back to royalty. He is the one who revives broken souls, renews shattered hopes, and restores life to its divine purpose when surrendered to His rule,” he proclaimed.

Apostle Markin further emphasized that Jesus not only saves but delivers the soul from destruction and grants an abundant life filled with divine purpose and eternal security (Psalm 103:4).

He reassured all in attendance that Jesus is the answer to life’s uncertainties and struggles and urged them to surrender fully to Him.

“Are you wandering in doubt and questioning your worth? We have come to tell you that Jesus is the answer! If you permit Him, He will reshape your life and give it meaning beyond your imagination,” he declared.

Referencing Matthew 14:17-21, the miracle of Jesus feeding the five thousand, Apostle Markin illustrated how God is able to take the little we have, bless it, and turn it into abundance when placed in His hands.

He encouraged believers not to underestimate what they have but to trust God to multiply it for His glory.

Concluding his message, Apostle Markin made a passionate call to all gathered, declaring that Jesus Christ is the only accredited and legitimate source of abundant life.

“If you give Him space in your life, He will bring order to your chaos. If you avail yourself to Him, He will turn your mess into a message of transformation. Jesus is ready to release His abundant life to anyone who seeks Him diligently,” he affirmed.

At the end of the ministration, a heartfelt altar call was made, inviting all those who desired to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ.

In response to this divine invitation, a total of 129 individuals stepped forward, publicly declaring their faith and submitting to the lordship of Christ.

As a testament to their newfound commitment, 60 of them underwent water baptism, symbolizing their spiritual rebirth and entrance into the family of God.

To the glory of God, 18 individuals received Holy Spirit baptism.
