Day Two of the “Ashaiman for Christ Crusade” at Lazio Park in Zenu was filled with an atmosphere of worship and renewed hope as Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi, the Ashaiman Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, delivered a compelling message on the theme: “Jesus Came to Seek and to Save the Lost.” His sermon centred on the transformative encounter with Jesus Christ and the restoration of true hope.

Apostle Kumi-Larbi drew his key text from Luke 15:11–24, which highlights the Parables of the Lost— the Parable of the Lost Sheep, the Parable of the Lost Coin, and the Parable of the Lost Son (often referred to as the Prodigal Son). He explained that the central message of all three parables is God’s unconditional love and the joy in heaven when even one sinner repents and returns to Him.

He challenged the people to reflect on where they had placed their hope, stressing that true hope begins with recognising who Jesus Christ is. When a person encounters this truth, salvation becomes not just a doctrine but a personal and life-changing experience.

Apostle Kumi-Larbi reminded listeners that humanity’s struggles were never part of God’s original design. Referring to the events in the Garden of Eden, he explained that sin entered the world when humanity strayed from God’s instruction. “It was not how God created us,” he emphasised. Sin, he noted, was the result of disobedience, and since then humanity has grappled with separation from its Creator.

He stated that Jesus Christ came specifically for those who feel tired, restless, and burdened by life’s challenges. Citing Luke 5 and Luke 19, he highlighted Jesus’ deliberate association with tax collectors such as Zacchaeus, who, in biblical times, were widely regarded as notorious sinners. He also recalled the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15, where the shepherd left the ninety-nine to search for the one that was lost—a sheep that could easily have fallen prey to danger. In the same way, he said, humanity, held captive and led astray by the enemy, needed a Saviour.

Expounding further on the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, he explained that each story reveals the heart of a God who refuses to abandon His own. Like the prodigal son who came to his senses and returned home, anyone who reflects and turns back to God will be welcomed with open arms. He described God as a loving ‘mother’, eager to restore His children. The Bible, he added, affirms that when even one person is saved, all of heaven rejoices.

Addressing the crowd directly, Apostle Kumi-Larbi said they were not gathered because they had nothing else to do or simply to pass time. They had gathered to proclaim the Son of God who saves. He urged those who see themselves as the lost sheep—weak and unable to rescue themselves—to come to their senses and allow Jesus to intervene. An encounter with Christ, he said, moves a person from death to life.

The sermon took a deeply personal turn when the former General Secretary of the Church shared his own testimony.

At the age of fourteen, after enduring severe hardship, he had been declared close to death. However, during a visit to an all-night service, he heard a message on the theme: “If the Son makes you royal, you are royal indeed.” That moment marked a decisive turning point in his life. From then on, through every stage of his education and ministry, he said, God preserved him.

He recounted how his entire house was once destroyed by fire, yet from that tragedy emerged unexpected favour. He later received a fully funded scholarship that supported his studies abroad together with his wife and children. Through every trial and triumph, he affirmed, God had been his sustainer and destiny changer.

“The Saviour is here to save. Jesus Christ is the last stop,” he said, emphasising that when Christ forgives sin, He restores lost dignity and opens new doors. Reflecting on his own journey, Apostle Kumi-Larbi declared that he has never seen anyone come to Jesus and remain the same—shame is removed, identity is restored, and a new path begins.

The Ashaiman Area of The Church of Pentecost has begun a four-day outreach that started Wednesday, February 18, and will run through to Saturday, February 21, 2026.

Day One of the Ashaiman for Christ Crusade was nothing short of glorious. The atmosphere at Lazio Park at Zenu was charged with heartfelt worship, fervent prayer, and a powerful Word that stirred many hearts. Lives were touched, souls responded to the altar call, and a strong sense of expectation filled the air. Indeed, it was a beautiful beginning to what is already unfolding as a life-changing moment for Ashaiman.

The programme is centered on the theme, “Jesus Came to Seek and to Save the Lost” taken from Matthew 9:11-13 and Luke 19:10. The focus is clear and simple, sharing the message of salvation with the Ashaiman community and creating space for people to respond.

Hosting the crusade is Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi, Area Head, supported by respected ministers, including Apostle Francis Yaw Adu (Nsawam Area Head), Apostle Emmanuel Gyesi-Addo (Retd) – former Missions Director of the church, Apostle Samuel Nana Yaw Agyei (Sakumono Area Head), and Pastor K. Antwi Boasiako (Retd).

Each evening from 6:30pm to 9:30pm, Lazio Park becomes a gathering ground for worshippers, seekers and families. The open space transforms into a sanctuary of praise, prayer and powerful preaching.

Morning sessions are also taking place at Zenu Central, JMT and Michel Camp Central auditoriums from 8:00am to 11:00am. These gatherings provide additional opportunities for teaching, prayer and personal ministry.

Adding to the spiritual intensity are anointed gospel ministers including Kweku Teye, Akesse Brempong, and Ruth Adjei, alongside Zion Praise/Ewe Troope and various choirs within Ashaiman leading the congregation into deep, powerful moments of worship.

Beyond the main venue, the mission continues through strategic market and ghetto evangelism across major markets, ensuring that the saving message of Christ penetrates every corner of the community.

The crusade will conclude on Saturday morning with a free medical screening at Lazio Park. This outreach is aimed at supporting members of the community with basic health checks.

As the crusade unfolds, expectations remain high for miracles, healings, restored families, salvations, and a fresh revival fire across the community.

The National Executive Council (NEC) of The Other Sheep Ministry (TOSM) on January 16, 2026, paid a working visit to the Sanneh Institute at North Legon to strengthen collaboration aimed at Christian witnessing and the intentional support of believers from other faiths backgrounds.

The visit formed part of broader efforts to develop structured responses to the unique pastoral, discipleship, and integration needs of such believers, particularly within the West African context.

During the engagement, TOSM reaffirmed its commitment to defending the spiritual wellbeing and rights of Christians who were formerly affiliated with other faith traditions. The Ministry acknowledged its responsibility in this area, noting that some members of its national leadership are themselves believers from other faiths backgrounds and therefore bring personal experience and insight to the Ministry’s mission.

Discussions focused on building strategic networks that would allow ministers and church leaders from other faiths backgrounds to interact, share experiences, and identify practical needs.

Attention was given to how local churches can provide sustained pastoral care and guidance, especially for young believers navigating faith transitions. Participants also explored avenues for strengthening collaboration between ministries, institutions, and churches to enhance support systems.

A major outcome of the meeting was the proposal to develop a contextualised discipleship manual specifically designed for believers from other faiths backgrounds, with emphasis on the West African setting. The manual is expected to serve as a practical tool for grounding converts in Christian doctrine, identity, and spiritual maturity.

Apostle Dr Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe commended the initiative, stating that its objectives align with the foundational vision of TOSM. He highlighted the strategic importance of partnering with The Church of Pentecost, whose numerical strength and facilities offer wider reach and impact.

He further proposed expanding the initiative to include leadership development and suggested that it could evolve into an annual convention. He also encouraged long-term thinking that could incorporate broader civic engagement.

The visit ended with a proposal to organise a regional engagement in the second half of the year to further strengthen ministry efforts through collaboration and structured discipleship.

Present at the meeting were Prof John Azumah, CEO of the Sanneh Institute; Apostle Dr Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe, NEC Chairman of TOSM; Evangelist Abraham Addae Agyemang, National Coordinator of TOSM; Pastor Dr De-graft Issaka Suleman; and Pastor Mark Mohammed Alhassan.

The Director of the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Kwesi Appiah, has urged believers to embrace the transforming reality of Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the world, stressing that a genuine encounter with Him brings total and lasting change.

He delivered this message on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at the Jubilee Park in Tamale during the ongoing Tamale For ChristCrusade, preaching on the theme, ‘We Have Seen Him, Christ the Saviour’ from 1 John 4:14.

Apostle Appiah emphasised that Jesus Christ is the exact representation of God, who came in human form, died on the cross, and rose again in triumph. He stated that Christ alone carries God’s divine accreditation as the Saviour, saying, ‘Jesus Christ was in the nature of God, and when He died, death could not hold Him captive. He is the only One accredited by God as the Saviour of the world.’

Drawing from Acts 10:38, he explained that the presence of God is continually active in the world to bring good to humanity through Christ. He also touched on Matthew 11:11, highlighting the unique prophetic assignment of John the Baptist, whose testimony prepared the way for the revelation of the Messiah.

Apostle Appiah further referenced John 1:45–50, recounting the story of Nathanael, who initially doubted that anything good could come from Nazareth. He noted that just as Jesus saw Nathanael’s doubts and turned them into conviction, Christ still sees the struggles and questions of humanity today and has the power to transform every life. ‘Many great men have lived on this earth, but only Jesus Christ has been credited as the Saviour of the world. When you meet Him, your life will never remain the same,’ he affirmed.

He also drew attention to the Samaritan woman’s testimony in John 4:28, describing how a genuine encounter with Christ propels believers to share their experience with others. Quoting Psalm 103, he reminded the congregation of the manifold benefits from God –forgiveness, healing, restoration, and redemption from destruction.

Apostle Appiah stressed that faith and expectation play a vital role in experiencing the supernatural move of God. He noted that divine manifestation often occurs where believers approach God with expectant hearts. ‘Your expectation will always attract a divine demonstration. When you come to God with faith, He redeems your life from destruction and crowns you with His goodness,’ he added.

He concluded with a strong appeal for total surrender to Jesus Christ, affirming that He alone is the source of true life, healing, and eternal salvation.
