The Kojobone District of The Church of Pentecost was filled with joy and thanksgiving on Friday, December 12, 2025, as Overseer Eric Adade and his wife, Mrs Hannah Serwaa Adade, dedicated their son, baby Samuel Nyametease Adade Jnr., at a special naming ceremony held at Kojobone Central. The child’s dedication marked the fulfilment of an eight-year journey of faith, prayer, and perseverance.

The ceremony attracted pastors, church leaders, family members, friends, and community representatives. It was chaired by the Kete-Krachi Area Head, Pastor Charles K Fosu, who was accompanied by his wife, Mrs Gifty Fosu. Ministers from other Christian denominations in Kojobone, as well as representatives from the Kojobone Chief’s Palace, were also present, underscoring the significance of the occasion.

Pastor Alex Buobu delivered the exhortation on the theme, “Biblical Parenting: A Case Study of Eunice and Timothy,” drawing from 2 Timothy 1:5 and 3:14–17. He encouraged parents to be intentional in planting sincere faith, godly values, and positive habits in their children, emphasising that effective parenting requires deliberate spiritual investment. He further noted that parents are custodians of the future of the Church and must therefore mentor their children through godly example, consistency, and love. He also stressed the need for holistic child development, urging families to nurture children spiritually, socially, intellectually, and physically through practices such as family altars, Bible reading, Sunday School participation, and good personal discipline.

At the height of the service, Mrs Hannah Serwaa Adade shared a moving testimony, recounting how she and her husband waited patiently on God for eight years for the fruit of the womb. She explained that despite several medical consultations, tests, and treatments, no solution was found. However, their faith in God remained steadfast. She testified that during the Pre-Christmas Pastors and Wives Retreat organised by the Area Head last year, they engaged in earnest prayer, after which God answered them with the gift of conception.

The testimony ignited heartfelt praise and thanksgiving among the congregation, strengthening the faith of many present. The service ended in joyful celebration as the Kojobone District rejoiced with the Adade family, giving glory to God for His faithfulness and perfect timing.

-The Story of Elder Samuel Elikem Cudjoe and Deaconess Faustina Teiko Dordunu

Marriage often begins with hope and anticipation, especially the dream of starting a family. For Elder Samuel Elikem Cudjoe and his wife, Deaconess Faustina Teiko Dordunu, this dream was delayed for a decade, testing their faith and resilience.

The couple married in 2015, receiving blessings at Laterbiokorshie in the Dansoman Area of The Church of Pentecost. Faustina, a nurse at Kete-Krachi Hospital in the Oti Region, and Samuel, a teacher at Mamprobi Salvation Army School, maintained a long-distance relationship, relying on occasional visits due to work commitments.

Despite their prayers and strong faith, the absence of pregnancy in the early years of marriage brought emotional strain. As a presiding elder, Samuel kept their struggles private, concerned about the pressure on his wife. He found solace in the story of Rev. James McKeown, founder of The Church of Pentecost, who, despite being childless, was used mightily by God.

Medical tests at five different hospitals revealed no issues, leaving the couple to rely solely on divine intervention. While both families supported them in prayer, societal pressure, especially suggestions to seek traditional remedies, added to their burden. Faustina, in particular, felt the weight of expectations, often facing insensitive comments and unsolicited advice, even within the church.

“The focus is always on the woman,” she lamented. “People offer solutions without understanding the emotional toll.”

To cope, Faustina immersed herself in academic pursuits, using education as a distraction. Though she earned several certificates, they could not fill the emotional void. Church sermons and naming ceremonies often triggered deep sorrow, as words from the pulpit sometimes unintentionally reopened wounds.

Despite the pain, she held onto biblical examples of women like Sarah and Hannah, drawing strength from their stories. Yet, the lingering question remained: “When will it be my turn?”

In 2022, the couple relocated to Kumasi and joined the Breman District in the Suame Area of The Church of Pentecost. Though Samuel continued to face challenges, especially during child naming ceremonies, he remained steadfast in faith, rejecting alternative spiritual counsel.

Their breakthrough came nearly ten years into their marriage. Four months before their anniversary, Faustina was confirmed pregnant. Three months later, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl, bringing immense joy and fulfilment.

“This is a miracle,” she said. “My efforts didn’t count—only God could do this.”

The couple now shares their testimony to encourage others in similar situations. They emphasise the importance of faith, patience, and not neglecting medical advice.

“It’s a divine experience,” Faustina reflected. “People may be present physically, but emotionally, you’re often alone. Don’t take things personally—grow through them.”

Their story is a powerful reminder that with unwavering faith and perseverance, even the longest wait can end in joy.

The Lord’s goodness and mercies continue to shine through the lives of His children in the Boadua District of The Church of Pentecost. A remarkable incident occurred on Thursday, August 28, 2025, when Brother Theophilus Osei-Tutu Twum, a 25-year-old member of the church, experienced an emergency case involving an unknown foreign object lodged in his oesophagus.

The incident happened while Brother Theophilus was eating banku and okro soup with a friend. After taking his first bite, he was unable to swallow due to the foreign object, which caused unbearable pain and difficulty breathing. His condition worsened, with vomiting that eventually became bloody, prompting his neighbours to rush him to St. Dominic Hospital at Akwatia in the Eastern Region.

Upon learning of the situation, Brother Theophilus’s mother, Madam Dorcas Zorn, quickly went to the District Mission House and informed the District Pastor, Pastor M. Y. Gbeku, and his wife. They prayed with her, assuring that the Lord was in control, and asked to be kept updated on the hospital’s findings.

An X-ray revealed that the foreign object was lodged in a spot that required specialist attention at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra for urgent surgery. Despite the dire prognosis, they returned to the mission house where the District Pastor, his wife, and District Secretary, Elder Dr Isaac Adade, laid hands on Brother Theophilus and prayed fervently for a miracle.

During the prayer, Pastor Gbeku received guidance from the Holy Spirit to give Brother Theophilus water to drink, as he was thirsty and dehydrated. With faith, they obeyed, and the young man was instructed to go home with the assurance that the foreign object would be vomited out.

Miraculously, within 15 minutes of leaving the Mission House, Brother Theophilus began to cough intensively and vomited out a huge bone, bringing immediate relief from the excruciating pain. Overjoyed, his mother exclaimed, “God has done it ooo!”

The following day, Brother Theophilus and his mother returned to the Mission House, bringing the vomited bone, referral letter, and X-ray as evidence of God’s miraculous intervention.

The incident serves as a testament to the Lord’s ongoing work in the church, demonstrating His power and mercy.

Report by Elder Dr Isaac Adade, Boadua District

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.

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.
