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.

The organisation partners with local churches to organise evangelism outreaches in their communities and also attend to the health needs of community members.

The Anyaa-Ablekuma Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle William Ohemeng-Kwakye, has urged persons in a state of despair (hopelessness) not to give up but rather seek the Lord’s intervention.

According to Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye, Jesus can be trusted to solve any challenge that life poses because He has a proven track record of doing the impossible.

The Anyaa-Ablekuma Area Head said this yesterday during the morning session of the ongoing “Accra for Christ” crusade held at the Oduman Central Assembly church auditorium.

Making reference to Acts 10:38 and Luke 4:18-19, among other Bible texts, the minister noted how Jesus healed many of their sicknesses, while citing the story of the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43.

“The woman received her healing just by touching Jesus’ garment by faith,” he said.

The Area Head also alluded to how Jesus raised Lazarus, who had died and been buried for some days, back to life to the astonishment of many witnesses.

Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye said that Jesus again proved that He has authority over evil spirits when He liberated Mary Magdalene from the demons that had possessed her.

The Area Head finally mentioned the miraculous event recorded in the Bible of how Jesus caused coins to appear in the mouth of a fish.

Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye further noted that there are many miracles credited to Jesus during his relatively short life on earth and these affirm His omnipotence.

“The Jesus of the Bible is the same today and forever and is still in the business of working miracles,” he further noted.

He said that Jesus Christ came to earth to redeem humanity from every bondage, stressing: “Jesus Christ was born for our sake.”

The Area Head, therefore, urged persons overwhelmed with life issues to turn to Christ and He would give them rest. 

“No matter what your challenge is, please try Jesus. All you have to do is to surrender your life to Him and make Him the Lord of your life,” he said.
