The New Tafo Area of The Church of Pentecost has relaunched the Area’s “One Member; One Discipled Soul” project with a call on Christians, particularly members of the Church, to vociferously preach the Gospel to rescue others from the clutches of sin, and disciple them for Christ.

Launching the event on Friday, November 3, 2023, during the Area’s monthly prayer meeting dubbed: “Divine Encounter” at the Sepe-Buokrom Revival Centre, the Area Head, Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku, read from Matthew 28:18-20, and charged all members to be deeply involved in the soul winning assignment.

He emphasised that soul winning is the prime duty of every believer, urging the congregants to intensify their evangelistic efforts to win more souls into the Kingdom of God as the month of November has been set for rigorous soul winning at all levels of The Church of Pentecost.

The New Tafo Area Head stressed that it is not just enough for Christians to preach the Gospel to the unsaved, but rather win, nurture and integrate them into the body of Christ.

“If nothing else, you must endeavour to win just one soul and disciple him for Christ,” he tasked.

After the launch, the congregants who could not hide their joy happily sang and danced to the glory of God for they were poised to reach out to the unsaved with the Gospel message of Christ.

Present at the event were Mrs. Victoria Tetteh Doku (Wife of the Area Head), the Area Pastorate and their spouses, among others.

The Anyaa-Ablekuma Area of The Church of Pentecost, led by Apostle William Ohemeng-Kwakye, on Sunday, October 23, 2023, launched this year’s aggressive evangelism month initiative, dubbed “One Member, One Discipled Soul.”

The project, initiated by the church through the Evangelism Ministry, dedicates the month of November to aggressive evangelism nationwide.

During a leadership training program organized for all presiding elders and Area and District Ministry executives ahead of the month, Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye preached on the theme: “What Do You See, Man of God?” inspired by Jeremiah 1:10-12, 2 Kings 6:16, 17, and Genesis 16:13.

He encouraged leaders to be visionary leaders and not outdated or wheelbarrow-typed leaders who are always pushed to act.

He charged the house that they are leaders of city churches; hence, they should strive to “see well.”

The Area Head also mentioned that God has called and appointed leaders to win souls for Himself and needed to see themselves as such.

He also announced that every local assembly within the Area is tasked to win at least 21 souls during the period.

Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye advised presiding elders and ministry leaders to be skillful in discharging their duties.

Following his presentation was Pastor Frank Awuah Fordjour, a coopted National Executive Committee (NEC) member of the Evangelism Ministry and the Agape District Minister, who shed more light on the activities to be embarked upon during the month.

These activities include house-to-house evangelism, personal evangelism, market evangelism, bus evangelism, street evangelism, ministry to prostitutes, sports evangelism, dawn broadcasting, ministry to the ghettos, water and Holy Spirit baptisms, etc.

During the launch ceremony, the Anyaa-Ablekuma Area Head requested all present to be intentional about winning back backsliders during the month.

Members present spontaneously burst into speaking in tongues at the end of the launch to demonstrate how poised they were to win the lost souls for Christ.

In attendance were Mrs. Comfort Ohemeng-Kwakye (Wife of the Area Head), the area pastorate, Area and District ministry leaders, and presiding elders. In all, 207 persons participated in the launch ceremony.

The crusade ended on Saturday with a free medical screening, which the community people patronised in their numbers.

The Winneba Area of The Church of Pentecost relaunched the “One Member, One Discipled Soul” aggressive evangelistic drive for the month of November.

The event, which took place at the Hallelujah Temple on Tuesday, October 31, 2023, was chaired by the Area Head, Apostle Daniel Nii Tetteh Tackie, with assistance from Pastor Prince Duvorn Daniels-Hortsoe (Area Evangelism Ministry Leader), and the Area pastorate.

Apostle Tackie, the Area Head, delivered a powerful message centred on the theme “Go tell them, we are going home,”

Preaching on the theme: “Go Tell Them, We Are Going Home,” and drawing inspiration from biblical references such as Matthew 28:18-20, Hebrews 11:13, Romans 3:24, John 1:14, Leviticus 9:23-24, 2 Peter 1:4, Hebrews 2:10-11, 2 Corinthians 3:18, and John 17:5-6, 22, Apostle Tackie urged the members to share the glory of God with their fellow brothers and sisters, many of whom have strayed from this divine radiance.

He encouraged them to bring these lost souls back home, assuring them that Jesus Christ would be with them to perform miraculous deeds.

Apostle Tackie stated that, as stated in Romans 3:24, sin had deprived humanity of the glory of God.

He defined the glory of God as encompassing God’s beauty, power, honour, and the quality of His character, stressing that by “going home,” they were seeking the glory of God.

He elucidated that one beholds the glory of God by believing in Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour, drawing parallels with the experience of Peter, James, and John witnessing the glory of Jesus Christ during His transfiguration.

Apostle Tackie noted that this glory now resides within believers and will soon be fully revealed.

Apostle Tackie reminded the congregation that they are merely temporary residents on Earth, encouraging them to reach out to others with the message that they are going to their eternal home, referencing John 14:2, where Jesus promises to prepare a place for His followers.

He concluded his message with an urgent call to action, stressing the importance of spreading the word, as time is running out.

He also implored the congregation to engage in evangelism with unwavering determination, sharing the message “we are going home” with all those they encounter.

This aggressive evangelism exercise, “One Member, One Discipled Soul,” has been relaunched with the ultimate goal of bringing glory to God and winning more souls for Him, reflecting the dedication and enthusiasm of the people.

The Asankrangwa Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Daniel Dekpor, has encouraged all and sundry to take a decisive step toward their salvation.

He said that once they take this step, God will save them and give them a new life in Christ.

“In the presence of the Lord, salvation is ever-present and accessible,” he explained. 

He revealed this in a sermon he delivered during the “Asankrangwa For Christ” Crusade at Boadum Park in Asankrangwa.

Apostle Dekpor stated that the same divine power that raised Jesus from the dead is actively at work in the present, irrespective of the challenges one may face.

Quoting from Acts 3:15 and 1 John 5:11, he said the creation account in Genesis, where God transformed the formless Earth through His spoken word, bringing order and light. 

Apostle Dekpor said it was on this very day that God infused life into the Earth.

This, according to Apostle Dekpor, signifies the profound significance of Jesus as the source of life. 

He explained that just as God’s spoken word brought life to creation, belief in Jesus brings life to the believer.

Apostle Dekpor encouraged the congregation, stating, “You simply need to take that crucial step to accept Jesus, and God will save you.”

He illustrated the three significant events in Genesis: the creation of Adam and Eve, their relationship with God, and the entry of sin, causing a breakdown in that relationship. Nevertheless, he said, God’s love was demonstrated as He covered their nakedness, signifying the beginning of regeneration.

Drawing from Ephesians 2:1, Apostle Dekpor emphasised the power of Jesus to bring life even in situations where sin leads to death. He recounted the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, close friends of Jesus, and how Jesus, though arriving three days after Lazarus’s death, displayed His authority over death.

“Salvation and healing are not distant promises; they are immediate realities available to you now through belief in the Son of God,” he revealed.

Apostle Dekpor declared that regardless of the gravity of one’s situation, be it an addiction, immorality, or spiritual death, Jesus has the power to transform lives. He underscored that Jesus is the sole source of life in any situation.

He continued: “Life is not found in anyone other than Jesus Christ. When you accept Jesus as your personal Saviour, He doesn’t merely coexist with you; He takes control of your life, granting you a divine nature, and nothing can stand against you. With Christ within you, your life becomes extraordinary.”

Elder Stephen Awuah Kesse of the Agona Prayer Centre of The Church of Pentecost has emphasised the importance of seeing oneself as a victor, regardless of life’s circumstances.

Speaking on Friday, October 27, 2023, at the Mckeown Temple in Asankrangwa New Town, on the topic: “Champion In A Cave,” Elder Kesse reminded believers that even in the face of adversity, victory is assured because God is always with them.

Drawing from 1 Samuel 22:1-2, Elder Kesse cited the trials and tribulations of David, who remained steadfast in his faith despite being pursued by King Saul. 

He encouraged believers not to be disheartened by their problems but to trust in God’s ability to deliver them. 

He stressed that being a champion means having no fear and confronting every situation with courage. This courage, he said, comes from fasting, praying, and reading the word of God.

The sermon also underscored the importance of knowing that God is always with believers and that He hears their prayers. 

Elder Kesse urged believers to develop a strong relationship with God and maintain constant communication with Him.

He urged believers to see themselves as champions, capable of overcoming obstacles through faith and courage.

The Nsawam Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Francis Yaw Adu, has advised Christians to seek Jesus Christ and know him personally for a fulfilled life.

Speaking on the topic, “Salvation Will Come To Your House,” at the Boadum Park, Asankrangwa, during the Asankrangwa For Christ Crusade, Apostle Adu described the crusade as a life-giving event because Jesus Christ, the author of life, was present to heal and save people. He said that wherever Jesus is, there is no room for death but only life and glory.

He read from Luke 19:1-10 and said that Jesus was passing through Asankrangwa to bless and transform lives. 

The Nsawam Area Head urged Christians to seek to know Jesus personally, not just by hearsay. He stressed that Jesus is a loving and powerful God who can save and deliver people from sin and bondage.

He used the example of Zacchaeus, a wealthy but despised tax collector who climbed a tree to see Jesus. 

According to him, Zacchaeus was a wise man who overcame his limitations and obstacles to encounter Jesus, saying, “It takes serious and determined people to see Jesus and receive his salvation.”

Apostle Yaw Adu said that when Jesus saw Zacchaeus, he called him by name and invited him to his house, stressing that this was a sign of grace and favour for Zacchaeus, who welcomed Jesus joyfully. 

He noted that when Jesus enters a house, he brings transformation and restoration, indicating that Zacchaeus was changed by his encounter with Jesus and became a generous and righteous man.

Apostle Francis Adu concluded his sermon by inviting everyone who wanted to receive Jesus into their lives to come forward and pray with him. 

“Today, salvation will come to your house, just as it did for Zacchaeus,” he assured.

The Offinso area of The Church of Pentecost, on Wednesday, 25th October 2023, launched the Church’s annual evangelistic initiative, dubbed “One Member, One Discipled Soul,” at the Offinso New Town Central Assembly auditorium.

The Area Head, Apostle Samuel Edzii Davidson, spoke on the theme: ‘Praying with Soul Winning,’ with scriptural references from John 15:16, Luke 10:1-2, 22:35, and Mark 16:20 at the event.

He introduced his sermon with the fact that every saint in the kingdom of God has been called to bear fruit that will last; hence, it is mandatory for Christians to partner with God in rescuing souls from the pit of hell and satanic enslavement.

He pointed out that when one is sent by God, there is divine provision in the sending; hence, Christians who heed God’s call of soul-winning will receive answers to their prayers.

Apostle Edzii Davidson emphasised the impact soul-winning has on the believer’s prayer life.

“Your consignment is in your assignment, and as you discharge your assignment, you receive your consignment,” he said.

He further noted that when the believer pursues evangelism, which is God’s priority, God will, in turn, pursue their priority.

“If the interest of God becomes your interest, your interest becomes God’s interest,” he said.

In bringing his message to a close, the Offinso Area Head charged members to make themselves fully available to be used by God to snatch at least one soul from hell before November comes to an end.

Present at the ceremony were the Area Head’s wife, Mrs. Winifred Edzii Davidson, and the Offinso Area Pastorate, together with their wives.

Apostle Dr Amos Jimmy Markin, the Director of the Evangelism Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, has disclosed that no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born again. 

He explained that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to the world to give humanity a new life that can transform and make them eligible for God’s kingdom.

He revealed this on October 24, 2023, during the opening of the “Asankrangwa For Christ” Crusade, which is happening at the Boadum Park, Asankrangwa in the Western Region.

Apostle Dr Jimmy Markin said that Jesus Christ spoke with authority and finality when he told Nicodemus, a teacher of the law, that unless one is born again, he cannot see or enter the kingdom of God. According to him, this statement was not a suggestion or an opinion but a decisive decision that cannot be changed through time and eternity.

He disclosed that there are two worlds – the physical and spiritual worlds. He explained that people are born of flesh and blood in the physical world, but in the spiritual world, one needs to be born of water and the Spirit.

He stressed: “The physical world has an expiry date, but the spiritual world is eternal. After death, there is judgment, and everyone will face either heaven or hell.”

The Evangelism Director noted that heaven is the kingdom of God, where God dwells with his angels and his people, saying, “Heaven is a place of eternal life, hope, joy, and peace.” 

He, however, said that hell is the kingdom of darkness and fire, where Satan and his demons torment those who reject God, and that it is a place of eternal death, despair, pain, and suffering.

He revealed that because all men are sinners and fall short of God’s glory, they cannot inherit the kingdom of God by their own efforts or merits but need another life that can give birth to them again, and that life is Jesus Christ.

Apostle Dr Jimmy Markin said that Jesus Christ is the author of life who sacrificed himself for the sins of humanity on the cross. He added that Jesus Christ rose from the dead with power and glory and has overcome death and sin. 

He mentioned that Jesus Christ came for the rejected, the lost, the broken-hearted, and the hopeless. 

He furthermore stated that Jesus Christ invites us to be born again by repenting of our sins and receiving him as our Lord and Saviour.

Apostle Dr Amos Jimmy Markin concluded by urging everyone to respond to the call of Jesus Christ and be born again. 

“That is the only way to enter God’s kingdom and enjoy his blessings forever,” he ended.

The “Asankrangrwa For Christ” Crusade began on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, and is expected to end on Friday, October 27, 2023, with a free medical outreach on Saturday.

The Tamale Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle John Budu K. Tawiah, has asserted that evangelism is a divine assignment for every Christian, making it a responsibility for all believers.

Apostle Tawiah made this assertion during the launch of the 2023 edition of the “One Member, One Discipled Soul” initiative in the Tamale Area.

Addressing the attendees at the event, Apostle Tawiah corrected the misconception that evangelism is reserved for a select few, asserting that the command of Christ in Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 16:15-18 was directed to all believers.

“As Christians, we must view evangelism as an obligation aimed at reaching the millions who do not know Christ,” he stated.

Apostle Tawiah defined evangelism as the proclamation of the gospel of the Kingdom of God, empowered by the Holy Spirit, with the purpose of winning souls and making them disciples of Christ.

He underlined the importance of vigorous evangelism before the second coming of Christ (Matthew 24:14).

He, however, stressed that the process of evangelism is not complete until the won soul is discipled and established in the Christian faith.

The task of proclaiming the gospel remains unfinished until the fruit (souls) that emerges remains in Christ,” he explained.

Apostle Tawiah urged every believer to follow the example of the early apostles and become soul winners.

He underscored the urgency for more soul winners, as there are numerous individuals untouched by the Gospel and in danger.

He, therefore, encouraged Christians to have compassion for lost souls and to engage in a rescue mission, as the church’s purpose is to save the lost.

Apostle Tawiah also  implored Christians to embrace evangelism as a divine obligation, emphasising the need for more soul winners given the growing population.

He cautioned against the tendency to focus on internal matters at the expense of evangelism and reminded Christians that God rewards those who win souls and disciple them.

Apostle Tawiah listed reasons for Christians to share the Gospel, including freedom from sin, salvation, forgiveness, and hope.

Concluding his message, the Tamale Area Head highlighted the qualities of effective soul winners, including being Holy Spirit-filled, having compassion for souls, prayerfulness, a deep knowledge of the Bible, exemplary Christian living, and showing value for the soul.

The “One Member, One Discipled Soul” initiative, introduced by The Church Of Pentecost, encourages members to engage in aggressive evangelism during the month of November each year to enhance soul-winning efforts.

The launch ceremony had in attendance Mrs. Agartha Tawiah (Wife of the Area Head), ministers and their spouses of the Church in the Tamale Metropolitan Area, along with various officers and members.
