Babile District Impacts Over 4,000 Students Through School Outreach Project

In alignment with Vision 2028 and the mandate to “Possess the Nations,” the Babile District of The Church of Pentecost has successfully executed a wide-reaching School Outreach Ministry Project across 15 communities within the Lawra and Jirapa districts of the Upper West Region.

Carried out between February and March 2025, the initiative extended godly influence into the education and health sectors by providing essential learning materials and healthcare support to schoolchildren and their families.

A total of 4,400 exercise books were distributed to 4,200 students in 14 basic schools through the district’s “1 Child, 4 Exercise Books” initiative. The exercise books, costing GH₵9,500, were funded through contributions from members of The Church of Pentecost – Babile District, the Darkuman Central Assembly in Accra, Apostle Benjamin Debrah (National Head, Sweden), and the Babile Area Youth Development Association, which also printed 750 of the books.

In a further act of community care, 4,500 National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) cards were renewed free of charge for children and residents, following successful negotiations with the NHIS National Head Office.

The project has brought significant relief and joy to the beneficiary communities, reinforcing the Church’s commitment to influencing every sphere of society with Kingdom values. It also strengthened the Church’s visibility and impact in both the educational and healthcare sectors.

‘To God be the glory for the successful execution of this vision-driven project’, stated the Babile District Pastor.

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.

DELIVERED FROM SATANIC OPPRESSION web

Delivered From Satanic Oppression

A powerful testimony has emerged from the recent outreach mission by the Pentecost Young Missionaries of The Church of Pentecost.

On July 10, 2025, a 42-year-old man, Mr. Amoako, experienced a miraculous deliverance from satanic oppression through the power of the gospel. The encounter took place during an outreach activity in the La Area, specifically within the Adabraka District.

According to the young missionaries (PYM-25) stationed in the district, Mr. Amoako readily responded to the gospel message when it was shared with him.

He accepted Christ and willingly surrendered all the spiritual items he had previously obtained from a mallam—two rings (one for strength and the other for protection) and a spiritual incense.

He also revealed that he had been instructed to smile every night before sleeping, a strange ritual that left him feeling persistently heavy and spiritually oppressed.

During the deliverance process, Mr. Amoako was asked to remove both rings. However, he was initially overwhelmed with fear, recalling the dire warnings he had received from the mallam about the spiritual consequences of disobedience. After several prayers, he managed to remove one of the rings. The second ring, however, became unusually tight and could not be removed.

The missionaries intensified their prayers, and under the direction of the Holy Spirit, they were led to a nearby welder. There, the second ring was safely cut off.

Following this, Mr. Amoako received further prayers, was baptized, and fully delivered. To the glory of God, he is now completely free from all satanic bondage.

17-Year-Old Girl Miraculously Rescued From Kidnappers After Intense Prayer web

17-Year-Old Girl Miraculously Rescued From Kidnappers After Intense Prayer

In what many are describing as a divine intervention, 17-year-old Princess Koomson, a student at Odorgonno Senior High School in Accra, was rescued from kidnappers on Saturday, June 14, 2025, after a week-long ordeal.

The second-year SHS student was abducted on June 7 while waiting for a trotro (commercial vehicle) near Pentecost Junction in Ablekuma to go home.

According to Princess, she was lured into a 4-wheel drive by men who claimed to be heading in her direction. She later regained consciousness in a dark room with two other girls and several armed men, believed to be of Nigerian origin. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of GHS 30,000. However, police were able to trace the caller’s location to New Oduman.

During this time, the New Awoshie District of The Church of Pentecost was observing its District Week 2 programme from June 10 to 15. On the evening of Thursday, June 12, the District Minister, Pastor George Oppong, was informed of Princess’ abduction. He immediately led the congregation in fervent intercessory prayers during the Friday morning session. The church prayed to set confusion among the kidnappers. The Pastor declared, ‘May they fight among themselves and free the captives.’

That same declaration was later echoed by Elder Edward Dadzie during the evening service, despite not being present at the morning session, a Spirit-led declaration many saw as confirmation of divine guidance.

In a dramatic turn of events on the night of June 13, the kidnappers began arguing among themselves. Some accused Princess of being a witch and insisted she be released. In the early hours of June 14, one of the kidnappers woke up Princess and another girl, led them through a separate exit, and told them to run without looking back. The girls eventually found themselves in Kasoa, where a kind-hearted woman paid their fare back to Ablekuma.

An elderly woman at the prayer meeting prophesied that Princess would return the next day, a prophecy that came true.

Princess’ uncle, Elder Francis Dzeklo, credited her rescue to the power of prayer, saying, ‘The prayer session was so intense. My faith rose up, and I knew there was going to be a miracle.’

The family has since expressed profound gratitude to God for Princess’ safe return. Her story stands as a powerful testimony to the impact of faith and prayer. As Princess herself said, ‘I give God all the praise.’

This extraordinary rescue serves as a reminder of the power of intercessory prayer backed by faith.

Couple Welcomes Baby Boy After 15 Years Of Waiting web

Couple Welcomes Baby Boy After 15 Years Of Waiting

It was a day of joyful tears and heartfelt gratitude to God as Deacon Edem Kojo Avono and his wife, Naomi, devoted members of the New Juaben District in the Koforidua Area of The Church of Pentecost, celebrated the naming ceremony of their miracle baby, Samuel Yaw Sika Melchizedek Avono, on May 3, 2025.

After 15 years of marriage and a long, arduous journey marked by multiple miscarriages and countless medical consultations, the couple finally celebrated the birth of their son, a moment of triumph after years of fading hope. Despite the tireless efforts of medical practitioners, conception had remained elusive, making this long-awaited arrival more miraculous.

However, during a special district prayer meeting known as ‘Spiritual Clinic,’ initiated by District Minister, Pastor Samuel Yaw Asare, the church fervently interceded for couples trusting God for the fruit of the womb. It was during this period of intense prayer that a miracle began to unfold.

Just a few months after the prayer meeting, Naomi conceived, unknowingly carrying the pregnancy for 26 weeks. Having lost hope after years of disappointment, she did not realise she was pregnant until much later. Eventually, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy, to the glory of God.

The naming ceremony, officiated by Pastor Samuel Yaw Asare, was a deeply emotional occasion, graced by family, friends, and members of the church. The congregation, overwhelmed with praise and awe, celebrated the faithfulness and miraculous power of God.

In his sermon, Pastor Asare used the occasion to encourage believers to remain faithful and prayerful, reminding them that no matter how long the wait or how difficult the journey, God can do exceedingly abundantly above all they ask or think.

‘Let the testimony of Deacon Avono and his wife remind us that with faith and persistent prayer, God never fails. Delay is not denial, and in His own time, He makes all things beautiful,’ he said.

God’s Power At Work In The Church Of Pentecost- More Miracles Recorded web

God’s Power At Work In The Church Of Pentecost: More Miracles Recorded

God continues to renew His covenant with The Church of Pentecost through countless miraculous happenings, transforming lives and changing destinies among its members.

In 2024, the church experienced a remarkable number of miracles attributed to the power of the Holy Spirit. Notable occurrences included the restoration of sight for the blind, the return of hearing for individuals with deafness, the ability of the paralysed to walk, the healing of cancerous cells, the restoration of kidney function, and the blessing of couples with children after prolonged periods of infertility, among numerous other miraculous events.

This was disclosed by the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and President of the Ghana Pentecostal Council (GPCC), Apostle Eric Nyamekye, during the opening ceremony of the 47th Session of the General Council Meetings at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

A few of the miraculous happenings in the church across the globe have been captured as follows:

In Bantama Extension District in the Kwadaso Area, Kumasi, Dr Abena Nyantakyiwaa, a medical doctor, experienced miraculous healing from four years of internal bleeding that had shut down her reproductive system. Despite her husband being a senior gynecologist, medical treatment, including monthly blood drainages, was ineffective. During prayer organised by the church, she encountered Jesus Christ and was instantly healed. A subsequent check-up confirmed her healing, revealing her uterus was now open for conception, with doctors affirming her ability to conceive and give birth.

In May 2024, Mama Obuor in the Darkuman District of the Kaneshie Area in Accra experienced a distressing incident when her handbag containing GH¢35,000.00 was stolen at her workplace. The church gathered to pray and intercede on her behalf. Remarkably, just a day after their prayers, the thief, unable to sleep due to visions of fire erupting from the bag containing the money, decided to return it, with the full amount intact.

In the Berekum Area, Agnes Appiah, who had been diagnosed with an inflammatory breast disease in both breasts, attended a convention organised by the church. After she was prayed for, she felt a sense of healing. The following day, she visited the hospital for another scan, and the results confirmed that the inflammation had indeed vanished from her breasts.

During the climax of the 2024 officers’ retreat organised by the Teshie-Nungua Area, a couple, Elder Patrick and Deaconess Florence Djan, came forward seeking the blessing of children after 15 years of marriage. With heartfelt prayers offered for them, they were joyfully granted the gift of twins, to the glory of God.

In Walewale, a Fulani man named Abduli Alidu and his wife, Yennu-nboib, sought help from the Kambatiak District Minister of the church regarding a pregnancy that had lasted one year and two weeks. They had already consulted various native doctors and shrines, along with a visit to the hospital, where doctors informed them that a cesarean section was the only way she could safely give birth. This news filled them with fear. However, after the pastor prayed with them, the woman miraculously gave birth the next day. Grateful for this blessing, the man brought his wife and their two children to accept Christ, and they are now proud members of the church.

Martin Asiedu, a member of the church in the Ofankor District of the Achimota Area, was admitted to the hospital in May 2024 due to severe stomach pains stemming from kidney stones. He was scheduled for surgery two days later. However, the day before the procedure, the presbytery visited him and offered prayers for him. In a remarkable turn of events, Mr Asiedu returned for his surgery only to find, after a thorough series of tests, that the kidney stones had completely vanished.

Mrs Rhoda Baah Acheamfour, wife of Pastor Isaac Baah Acheamfour of Offinso Namong District, was diagnosed with cancer of the womb at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. She was given the option of total removal of the womb or to undergo chemotherapy due to the severity of the cancer. She started chemotherapy, and prayers were offered on her behalf. To the glory of God, she was completely healed. She afterwards conducted several tests and was declared fit by KATH. She conceived thereafter and gave birth to a baby boy.

In Indonesia, Emelda from Jakarta was instantly healed of an arthritis condition in the legs when she was prayed for in April 2024. Again, Mama Dorcas of East Nusa Tenggara, also in Indonesia, who had been in a wheelchair for several years, could now walk after the prayers of the saints.

Mr Yuseef, a resident of Tubli in the Kingdom of Bahrain, experienced a remarkable recovery from a ruptured knee ligament. During an evening walk from a shopping mall, our resident missionary and his spouse encountered Mr Yuseef outside his home. After receiving permission, the missionary fervently offered a prayer for his healing. To the glory of God, Mr Yuseef experienced an instant recovery.

Triplets Born After 19 Years Of Waiting

Joy filled the hearts of Mr Jacob Armah and his wife, Deaconess Salomey Armah of the Kwabenya Old Town District of The Church of Pentecost in the Haatso Area, as they welcomed a set of triplets after 19 years of marriage. 

The couple endured years of agony, distress, pain, and numerous medical procedures in their quest to have a child, but their efforts seemed futile. In God’s appointed time, however, their prayers were answered, and they were blessed with triplets. 

The three girls were christened and dedicated on Sunday, March 23, 2025, at the Kwabenya Old Town Central church building. The ceremony drew an enthusiastic crowd of ministers, members of the church, family, and friends. 

Officiating the dedication ceremony was Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe, the International Missions Director (IMD) of The Church of Pentecost, assisted by Pastor William Amponsah Asiamah, the Kwabenya Old Town District Minister. 

Prominent personalities who attended the service included the immediate past International Missions Director, Apostle Emmanuel Gyesi-Addo (Retired); the Haatso Area Head, Apostle William Boakye Agyarko; Apostle Tony Mensah (Resident Minister of PIWC Atomic), and Pastor Michael Laryea Jnr. (National Coordinator of the Ministry to Celebrities), among others. 

In his sermon titled, ‘Whose Son Is This?’ based on 1 Samuel 17:55-58, Apostle Agyemang Bekoe recounted how King Saul marveled at the courage and tactics of young David on the battlefield, as David defeated Goliath and presented the giant’s severed head to the king. 

He prayed that the triplets would excel in their chosen fields, displaying courage and tenacity to overcome any challenges they might face.

The IMD encouraged parents to continually pray for their children so they can bring honour to their families.

55-Year-Old Fetish Priest Surrenders To Christweb

55-Year-Old Fetish Priest Surrenders To Christ

A 55-year-old fetish priest, Mr Bonupuoh Derbiere, also known as Owusu JM, has made a remarkable transformation by giving his life to Jesus Christ after over 20 years of idol worship.

Derbiere, who resides in the Birifoh in the Wa Area, was a prominent figure in his community, claiming to be next to God and attracting numerous followers to his shrine.

For two decades, he practiced soothsaying and served as a spiritual guide for many. However, in 2020, his life took a drastic turn when he fell ill.

Despite seeking treatment at various hospitals in the region, his condition worsened, leaving him bedridden for four years. He became increasingly dependent on his wife and children for mobility.

On September 23, 2024, a significant turning point occurred when the Babile District minister of The Church of Pentecost,Overseer James Wettey, and his team visited Derbiere’s home to share the Gospel and pray for him. By divine intervention, Derbiere rose from his bed and began walking, attributing his recovery to the power of the Holy Spirit whom the team had presented to him through their message.

As a result of this miraculous healing, Derbiere and seven members of his household embraced Christianity.

In a powerful act of renunciation, they discarded all idols from their home—a surprising collection that filled nearly an entire room.

The community has reacted with joy and amazement at this transformation. Many view it as a testament to the power of faith and redemption.

Derbiere expressed gratitude for his newfound faith and encouraged others who may be struggling with similar challenges to seek hope in Christ.

Couple Gives Birth After 6 Years of Marriage

Elder Enoch and Mrs. Monica Mba of the Sapeliga District in the Bawku Area of The Church of Pentecost joyfully welcomed their first child, a baby boy, on June 4, 2024, after six years of marriage.

The couple, married on May 18, 2018, faced significant challenges on their path to parenthood, including social stigma, mockery, and two consecutive miscarriages.

In a heartfelt testimony, the Mbas expressed deep gratitude for the grace of God that sustained them through their trials.

With the support of family and believers, they persevered through adversity, and their third pregnancy resulted in the joyful arrival of their newborn son.

Elder Enoch Mba remarked, “We had much love for each other despite these challenges, which strengthened our bond.”

The District Minister, P/Overseer Victor Gyesie, officiated the christening ceremony and delivered an inspiring message on the theme “Parenthood is a Ministry.”

Drawing from Genesis 18:19, he emphasised the importance of guiding children in the way of the Lord, likening it to Abraham’s calling.

P/Overseer Gyesie encouraged the congregation to remain thankful for God’s timing in their lives, stating, “The Lord is watching and trusting that we will obey His will to fulfill His promises.”

The Mba family’s journey serves as an uplifting testament to faith and resilience, illustrating the profound joys of parenthood that can follow perseverance through challenges. May the Lord who has done it for them do it again for those believing Him for similar testimony.
