PIWC-Sakumono Leads Twenty-One Inmates To Christ At Nsawam Prison

In a moving demonstration of God’s transforming power, twenty-one inmates at the Nsawam Medium Prison have surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ during an evangelistic outreach organised by the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) – Sakumono, in the Sakumono Area of The Church of Pentecost.

The fellowship, held on Sunday, October 26, 2025, took place at the Male Ward’s Transformation Assembly of the Church of Pentecost, which currently has a membership of about 450 inmates. The outreach formed part of PIWC-Sakumono’s commitment to Vision 2028 – “Unleashing the Whole Church to Transform Their World with the Values and Principles of the Kingdom of God.” The visit sought to share the message of hope in Christ and to assure the inmates that they are not forgotten by God or His Church.

A 15-member delegation led by the Presiding Elder, Yohannes Ametri, represented the church. The team donated various clothing items and a cash amount of GH₵ 5,000 to support the welfare of the inmates. Preaching on the theme “The Divine Exchange,” Elder Ametri drew lessons from Acts 3:14–15, 2 Corinthians 8:9, and 1 Peter 2:24. He explained that the death of Jesus Christ on the cross represents the greatest exchange in human history; where humanity’s sin, poverty, and shame were replaced with righteousness, grace, and eternal hope.

“His death on the cross has brought us a divine exchange for healing and righteousness,” he said. “The death of Jesus took away our poverty and paved the way for grace and richness for believers. You and I are beneficiaries of this divine exchange.” He encouraged the inmates to hold on to their faith, reminding them that through Christ, they can experience true transformation regardless of their past.

DSP Pastor Thomas Owusu Brefo, the District Superintendent of Police in charge of Religious Affairs at the Nsawam Prison, commended the initiative and expressed gratitude to The Church of Pentecost for its continued spiritual and material support. He disclosed that the facility currently accommodates over 3,500 inmates – a reduction from the pre-COVID population of about 5,000. He emphasized the shift in Ghana’s correctional philosophy from punitive measures to rehabilitation and reintegration.

“Inmates are miraculously preserved,” DSP Pastor Brefo said. “There is a need to work on them and reform them so they can assist in society’s development.” He further explained that inmates receive vocational and technical training in trades such as plumbing, tailoring, and other skills to prepare them for life after incarceration.

Elder Samuel Nkansah Sakyi, the Area Coordinator for the Prison Ministry, explained that the visit was inspired by Hebrews 13:3, which admonishes believers to remember those in prison as though they were bound with them. “Those incarcerated need encouragement and support from those of us outside,” he said. “Our visit is to show love and remind them that God’s grace reaches even behind prison walls.”

On behalf of the inmates, their leadership expressed deep gratitude to the leadership of PIWC-Sakumono, led by Apostle Seth Fianko-Larbi, the Resident Minister, and his executive team. They described the fellowship and donation as a great encouragement and a tangible reminder that God’s love and the Church’s compassion extend to all people, regardless of circumstance.

The visit ended with joyful worship and prayer, marking another step in The Church of Pentecost’s mission to bring hope, transformation, and salvation to every sphere of society, including the nation’s prisons.

Apostle Appiah Urges Believers to Hold Fast to Jesus, the Way to Eternal Life web

Apostle Appiah Urges Believers to Hold Fast to Jesus, the Way to Eternal Life

Speaking at the ongoing ‘Afram Plains for Christ’ crusade on the theme, ‘Jesus Christ, The Only Way to Eternal Life’ (John 14:6), Apostle Emmanuel Kwesi Appiah, Director of the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, has encouraged believers never to give up, regardless of their situation in life, because God remains in control.

Drawing his main text from John 14:5-6, Apostle Appiah emphasised that Jesus Christ is the only true way to salvation.

He explained that every other path leads to loss and destruction, but those who walk with Christ find eternal life.

‘No one can give you life except Jesus Christ. You may take other roads and get lost, but if you go through Jesus Christ, you will have eternal life,’ he stressed.

Referencing passages such as John 10:15, Luke 5, and Mark 5, Apostle Appiah further noted that faith in Christ gives believers the assurance and testimony of eternal life.

He urged the congregation to remain steadfast in their walk with the Lord, adding, ‘Jesus is the way; no more wandering. In Him alone is life.’

The ‘Afram Plains for Christ’ crusade officially began on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 and is expected to end on Saturday, August 30, 2025 with a medical screening exercise.

Afram Plains For Christ Crusade Opens At Tease web

Afram Plains For Christ Crusade Opens At Tease

Waves of worship, fervent prayers, and electrifying praise filled the air at the New Market Square in Tease, Afram Plains, as the much-awaited ‘Afram Plains for Christ’ crusade officially began on Tuesday night, August 26, 2025.

The gathering drew hundreds of believers and seekers alike, all eager to encounter the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

Organised by the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, in collaboration with the Afram Plains Area of the church, the four-day crusade is expected to attract both members of the church and non-members from across the Afram Plains and surrounding communities.

The crusade features ministrations from seasoned speakers, including Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi (General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost), Apostle Emmanuel K. Appiah (Director of the Evangelism Ministry), Prophet Victor Asante Darko (Afram Plains Area Head), Apostle Samuel Edzii Davidson (Offinso Area Head), Elder Godfred Asare (El Shaddai Prayer Centre, Konongo), and Elder Seth Peasah (NEC Member of the Evangelism Ministry and Leader of the El-Bethel Prayer Centre, Ho).

The event is also blessed with song ministrations from the Afram Plains Mass Choir, Sister Joyce Effah, Elder Blessed Koduah, and Deaconess Lizzy Rockson.

The Afram Plains, located in the Eastern Region of Ghana, is one of the country’s most fertile but underserved areas.

With vast arable lands along the Afram River, a tributary of the Volta Lake, the local economy largely depends on farming and fishing. Maize, yam, cassava, and groundnuts are cultivated in abundance, while fishing sustains many families along the lakeside.

Despite its rich natural resources, the area faces development challenges due to scattered settlements and difficult terrain.

These challenges, however, make the Afram Plains a strategic focus for missionary work. Through evangelistic campaigns like ‘Afram Plains for Christ,’ The Church of Pentecost continues to extend the light of the Gospel to remote communities, offering hope and transformation through Jesus Christ.

The crusade will conclude on Saturday, August 30, 2025, with a free holistic medical screening and children’s service, offering both spiritual and physical healing to the people of the Afram Plains.

PIWC Sakumono’s 5-Day Evangelistic Mission Sparks Revival and Church Planting In Abrem Agona

PIWC Sakumono’s Evangelism Ministry has led a five-day mission that has transformed the Abrem Agona community in the Central Region.

In a season marked by relentless rains, the heavens stayed open and by the third day, the skies cleared, “It wasn’t just dry skies, it was open heavens. God had something special for the town,” one missionary said.

Over the course of the mission, 103 adults and 25 children surrendered their lives to Christ. On the final day, 40 new believers were baptized. Almost 100 people were healed from chronic illnesses, joint disorders, respiratory issues, and other long-standing afflictions.

The impact extended beyond the spiritual resulting in the planting of a new Assembly in Kwesikwakum to nurture the growing fellowship. A medical team also provided free consultations, treatment, and medication, while donated clothing brought joy and relief to many in need.

The mission, supported by Apostle Seth Fianko-Larbi, the Resident Minister of PIWC Sakumono, Pastor Maxwell Nti, the Abrem Agona District Pastor, the Abrem Agona Local Council of Churches, and our dedicated Major Missions Partners and Sponsors, stands as a testament to what God can do when His people obey the Great Commission. The revival that began in Abrem Agona is set to ripple through generations.

230 Souls Won In Asantekwa During Abossey Okai Worship Centre Outreach

A total of 230 souls were won for Christ during a four-day evangelistic outreach by the Abossey Okai Worship Centre (AOWC) in the Kaneshie Area of The Church of Pentecost to Asantekwa in the Bono East Region.

The outreach, which took place from August 5 to 9, 2025, was part of the church’s ‘Possessing the Nations’ agenda. As part of the outreach, 23 new converts baptised in water – all of whom received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, while an additional 36 believers were baptised in the Holy Spirit during an all-night service.

The 27-member delegation was led by the District Minister, Pastor Fred Stephen Sarfo, and the District Evangelism Leader, Elder Ernest Sarpong. They were warmly welcomed by the Asantekwa District Minister, Overseer Enoch Ofori Kwarteng, and his presbytery.

The second day featured a familiarisation tour of the town, including visits to Fuller Falls and Kintampo Waterfalls. The team was divided into four groups and deployed across five local assemblies in the Asantekwa District — Asantekwa, Sogliboi, Ahinakom, Busuama/Yara, and Ntraban. At Sogliboi, a cinema evangelism event led to the salvation of 19 people.

On the third day, various forms of outreach — rallies, cinema evangelism, radio broadcasts, street preaching, and house-to-house visits — brought many to Christ.
A major highlight was the miraculous healing of a woman named Serwaa Akosua, who had been paralysed for 10 years. She received instant healing and began walking, prompting great rejoicing.

Day four included a free health screening for residents, during which six people accepted Christ. The team also donated clothing, footwear, and other items, as well as a motorbike, which was received by Kintampo Area Head, Apostle Francis Agyemang Badu, and Overseer Ofori Kwarteng.

Pastor Fred Stephen Sarfo expressed gratitude for the unprecedented spiritual harvest, saying, ‘We came to share the gospel, but God did more than we imagined — saving souls, healing the sick, and uniting His church in love and service.’

NEW CONVERT SURRENDERS CHARMS AFTER HOLY GHOST ENCOUNTER AT PIWC-ODORKOR web

New Convert Surrenders Charms After Holy Ghost Encounter At PIWC-Odorkor

A powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit during a baptism session at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Odorkor, led a new convert to surrender a collection of charms and amulets he had kept in his possession.

The incident occurred on Sunday, July 13, 2025, shortly after a water baptism service was held for six new converts by the Evangelism Ministry of the church, in collaboration with the Pentecost Young Missionaries (PYM). The team had organised a special Holy Ghost baptism session following the morning service.

During the prayer session, one of the converts, identified as David, reportedly fell under the power of the Holy Spirit and began to manifest. According to eyewitnesses, the young man began calling out the names of two deities he claimed were spiritually present in his room and tormenting his life.

Led by the Holy Spirit, the PIWC Odorkor team accompanied David to his residence, where they discovered several ritual objects, including charms and amulets made with ashes and parts of crocodiles and hippopotamuses. The items were retrieved and brought to the church premises.

In a solemn moment witnessed by members of the church and the evangelism team, Pastor Kwame Apeakese Pipim, Resident Minister of PIWC Odorkor, offered prayers over the items before they were publicly burned—symbolising a complete break from spiritual bondage and a new beginning in Christ.

The church described the event as a tangible demonstration of the power of God to deliver and transform lives.

250 Young Missionaries Storm Accra For Evangelism

The Youth Ministry of The Church of Pentecost has launched a major evangelism campaign in Accra, deploying 250 young missionaries as part of the 2025 edition of the Pentecost Young Missionaries (PYM) initiative.

The two-week outreach, which began on July 5, 2025, aims to win 5,000 souls for Christ. It is held under the theme, ‘Unleashed to Reach Out to the Lost.’

This large-scale soul-winning effort is a practical expression of the Youth Ministry’s vision: ‘Grounded in Christ, Reaching Everyone, and Taking Over Everywhere for Christ.’ It also aligns with the Church’s broader agenda of ‘Possessing the Nations.’

The missionaries, drawn from various administrative areas of the church, have been strategically assigned to five key locations in Accra: La, Kasoa, Odorkor, Kaneshie, and Dansoman.

Before their deployment, the group participated in a three-day spiritual retreat in Accra, aptly named ‘Fishers of Men.’ The retreat served as a time of spiritual renewal and preparation, featuring intensive prayer sessions, evangelism workshops, and teachings focused on equipping them for the mission ahead.

The retreat culminated in a powerful commissioning service led by Apostle Dr Ebenezer Hagan, Youth Director of The Church of Pentecost. In his charge, he reminded the missionaries that they are vessels of God sent into a ripe harvest field, urging them to go forth in the power of the Holy Spirit to make a lasting, eternal impact.

As these young evangelists engage with communities across Accra in the streets, schools, homes, and public spaces, the Church anticipates a wave of revival and transformation. Members nationwide are encouraged to support the initiative through prayer, logistics, and spiritual backing, as these passionate young men and women boldly live out the call to reach the lost and take over everywhere for Christ.

You Have Just One Life; Surrender to Jesus Now! web

You Have Just One Life; Surrender to Jesus Now! – Pastor Donkoh Urges Youth

The PENSA Travelling Secretary for Kwadaso Sector, Pastor Isaac Donkoh, has stressed that being born again is not about merely attending church but involves a complete transformation of one’s life through faith in Christ.

Delivering a sermon at the “You Must Be Born Again” Gospel Crusade at the Ho Technical University, he noted that “Being born again is not a matter of going to church. You can belong to a church and still not be saved.” According to him, true conversion changes a person’s life completely (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Expounding further, he reminded the congregation of the fleeting nature of life and the certainty of death, referencing Job 14:5 and Hebrews 9:27.

“God has set a limit on the number of days each of us has. No one can exceed that limit. You have just one life. Don’t waste it,” he warned.

Urging the youth to remember their Creator while they still have strength, he cited Ecclesiastes 12:1. “The great Day of the Lord is coming. On that day, status won’t matter—only those whose names are found in the Book of Life will be saved,” he cautioned, referencing Revelation 20:12.

Pastor Donkoh did not shy away from the gravity of eternal judgment, painting a vivid picture of the fate of the unrepentant. “The proud will be humbled,” he said, quoting Isaiah 2:12. “On that day, people will run to mountains and beg them to fall on them. But there’ll be no escape,” he added, drawing from Revelation 6:12–16.

Highlighting God’s gift of free will, he said, “God has given us the power to decide what to do with our lives. But the only right decision is to call on the name of the Lord Jesus. There is no tomorrow. The time is now.”

“You cannot exchange your soul for money, sex, or anything else. One day, we will all die, and after death comes judgment. Make peace with Jesus while you still can,” he concluded.
