Mr. Abraham Dorglo and his wife, Grace, who fellowship with the Grace Assembly in the Yennyawoso District of The Church of Pentecost have been blessed with a bouncing baby boy after enduring childless marriage for fifteen years.
The christening and dedication ceremony of the child was performed by the District Minister, Pastor Charles Oduro, on Sunday, March 19, 2023.
In a sermon on the topic: “The Sovereignty of God,” taken from Luke 7:18-27; Acts 12, Pastor Oduro advised Christians to always have a heart of gratitude and appreciate God in every situation they find themselves because God is sovereign and does whatever pleases Him (1 Thessalonians 5:18; Romans 8:28).
He highlighted the everduring faithfulness of God and urged all those who are looking forward to something to keep trusting God for a miracle, no matter how long it takes.
The couple could not hide their joy, likewise the church members for what the Lord has done as they sang songs of praise and danced to glorify the name of the Lord.
Michael Elikplim engaged in many fraudulent activities and made a living out of scamming people for their hard-earned money.
As Eliplim got richer, he acquired houses, cars and other properties at luxurious locations and was enjoying the good life.
To secure his wealth and have his victims spellbound, he went to some spiritualists for charms to back his trade.
All seemed to be going well for Michael until one fateful day when his whole world came crushing down on him.
A close friend of his betrayed him and caused his arrest. As a result, he lost all he had acquired, albeit fraudulently.
After the dust settled on the situation, he headed to his hometown, Adaklu in the Volta Region of Ghana, to escape the shame, disgrace and misfortune that had befallen him.
But tried as he did, Michael was unable to move past his predicaments and thoughts of spiritual forces continued to taunt him.
On the March 9, 2023, two members of the Evangelism Ministry Advance Team, who had been stationed at the Adaklu District, paid him a visit as part of a house-to-house evangelism exercise.
Michael shared his story with them and they, in turn, told him about Jesus Christ and how He paid for the sin of all humanity.
Right after hearing the message, Michael made the decision to accept Christ into his life and insisted on being baptised by immersion.
“I feel like a big burden had been lifted off my shoulders,” he said afterwards.
Michael is very zealous about his new-found faith and now holds Bible studies at his residence.
His thirst for the things of the Lord keeps growing by the day.
When quizzed about his passion for study of the Bible, a rejuvenated Michael said: “I want to know Him (Jesus) more and more.”
The house-to-house evangelism exercise was part of activities organised by the Evangelism Ministry ahead of the upcoming “Ho for Christ” Crusade.
The crusade, which is under the theme: Jesus Came To Seek and Save (Luke 19:10), would be held at the Anglokordzi-Rabazey Children’s Park. It would be climaxed on Saturday, March 18, with a free medical outreach.
Mr. Sampson Yaw Sewor George, a 48-year old traditionalist at Todome in the Volta Region of Ghana, has accepted Christ as his Lord and personal Saviour, and consequently surrendered his idols to be destroyed.
The spectacular event took place during a house-to-house evangelism exercise undertaken by members of the Evangelism Ministry Advance Team of The Church of Pentecost.
Sharing his story with PENTECOST NEWS, Mr Sewor said, for some time now, he had been on the lookout for more spiritual powers to add to what he had already inherited from his late father.
According to him, the main reason why he wanted to be more powerful was to enable him eliminate his ex-wife or her new husband or both.
However, after his engagement with the team, he voluntarily pulled a ring from his throat and handed over his deity to be destroyed.
He subsequently gave his life to Christ and has been baptised in water by immersion.
The house-to-house exercise was part of preliminary activities scheduled by the Evangelism Ministry ahead of the upcoming “Ho for Christ” Crusade.
The crusade, which is under the theme: Jesus Came To Seek and Save (Luke 19:10), would be held at the Anglokordzi-Rabazey Children’s Park from March 14 to 17, 2023.
Mr. Kwame Eleabo, a 55-year-old resident of Ziavi Dzogbe in the Volta Region of Ghana, has miraculously recovered from a mild stroke and speech impairment a day after surrendering his life to Christ.
Mr. Eleabo, who had been incapacitated for over a year, received Christ into his life when some members of the Evangelism Ministry Advance Team preached the gospel message of Jesus Christ to him and prayed for him during a house-to-house evangelism exercise.
The following morning, the team decided to pay him a visit and to engage him on his new-found faith in Christ.
When they got to his residence, to their utter surprise, they saw Mr. Eleabo cheerfully doing household chores without any sign of discomfort – completely different from the condition he was in a day before.
According to Mr Eleabo, after he accepted Christ and the team prayed for him, he still went to bed that evening unable to stand on his feet. However, when he woke up the next morning he realised that he had been healed and could now do the things he could not do before.
“This morning I walked to the barbershop all alone to trim my hair,” he said. He was therefore, grateful to God for His healing power and for coming to his aid when all hope was lost.

Members of the Foso Town District in the Assin Foso Area of The Church of Pentecost were in a joyous mood as they witnessed the christening and dedication of a set of twins of
Elder Ebenezer Takyi Danquah and his wife, Esther, who had been childless after 14 years of marriage.
The well-patronised and colourful service took place at the Foso Town Assembly church auditorium on March 6, 2023.
Sharing their testimony at the event, the couple said they had resigned to their fate, having exhausted all medical alternatives, only for God to surprise them with the set of twins.
“We have endured taunting and name calling from people from all walks of life. Some saw us as a reproach, but we continued to trust the Lord for a miracle, ” Elder Takyi Danquah recounted.
Exhorting the gathering on the topic “Repositioning our Perception about Children to Maximise their Potentials,” the Assin Foso Area Head, Apostle Frederick Kwaku Andoh, said that often times parents see children as a burden and a nuisance.
Using the story of Moses in Exodus 2:1-10, he said the parents of Moses tried all their possible best to hide him in order not to face the same fate the other Jewish children in Egypt.
He explained that Moses’ mother went to this extreme length to save her son because she saw him as a special child.
“How we treat our children is highly dependent on our perception of them. We should understand that God sees all children as his treasures and heritage (Psalm 127:3) and so we must see them as such too.
“For this reason, be diligent in bringing them up your children in the fear of God for them to attain their full potentials,” he charged.
The children were christened Ekow Nyametease and Ekow Nyamedome Takyi Danquah.
The programme had in attendance the Assin Foso Area pastorate and their wives as well as some past ministers of the Foso Town District and their spouses.
Madam Victoria Nhyira Adomako, 50, has been miraculously healed of a painful spine condition that she had been battling since childhood.
Madam Victoria shared her testimony on Thursday, February 23, 2023, during the monthly “Gethsemane” prayer meeting held at the El Bethel Prayer Centre, dubbed “The Supernatural Hand of God.”
Narrating her ordeal, Mrs Adomako, a professional teacher at Apedwa in the Abuakwa South Municipal in the Ashanti Region, said had been having waist pain since childhood, but it became very severe last year in March.
She, therefore, went to seek medical attention at the hospital and was made to run several tests.
Mrs. Adomako was later referred to the St. Joseph Orthopedic Centre, where she was diagnosed with Lumbar Spondylosis, a condition that affects the lower spine.
As a result, she was given a wristband to help her balance her movement and support in correcting her back pain, but it did little to bring her any relief.
One of her colleagues told her about the “Gethsemane” monthly prayer service at the El Bethel Prayer at Ho and how he was miraculously healed of his ailment.
“So, I decided to attend the February edition of the programme,” she said.
After the Wednesday morning session, she met Elder Emmanuel Avornyo and narrated her ordeal. Elder Avornyo prayed for her and told her to expect an angelic visitation.
During the evening session of prayer service, Mrs. Adomako felt a touch and a bit of relief, so she removed the waistband before going to bed.
“At dawn, in a dream, I saw angels of the Lord working my back pain; they told me I had been completely healed. At that instant, I began to blow in tongues. I woke up still speaking in tongues,” she recounted.
Madam Victoria said that she realised her pains were completely gone, and for the first time in a long while, she could bend over.
“So, I went out to join those sweeping the compound,” she said.
According to her, she has not worn the waistband ever since and does not feel the pain any longer. She was, therefore, grateful to God for the divine touch.
I am Pastor Jeremiah Atakpa, the Resident Minister of Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC-Aflao/French District) of The Church of Pentecost.
On November 24, 2022, my wife, Mrs Doriane Atakpa, underwent surgery (cesarean section) while delivering our third child. When I went to pick them up from the hospital after their discharge, we were involved in a fatal accident on the road. My steering wheel got locked, and I could not turn it, so I drove straight and hit a tree. A tree branch penetrated through the headlight straight into me in the car. But before it could pierce me, the car stopped.
We returned to the hospital since my wife had complications due to the accident. However, the doctor who conducted the surgery did not probe further, but only prescribed drugs. Despite taking all the prescribed medications, she continued to feel pains in the lower abdomen and complained of difficulty urinating and passing faeces.
A month later, upon the advice of our Area Head, we decided to go to another medical doctor in Lome, Togo to seek a second opinion, only for the doctor to detect after further scans that there was a leftover gauze (abdominal towel) and pus formation after the first surgery.
My wife had to undergo another surgery on January 3, 2023, to remove the pus and the gauze from her womb.
After the 4-hour-long surgery, the doctor told me that he could take away the pus and some particles of the gauze. According to him, the leftover gauze had deteriorated and caused an infection, which was the source of my wife’s pains and anaemia.
We left the hospital for the house with a great sense of relief, thinking that was all, not knowing that “the big one,” to borrow the expression of our dear Chairman, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, was coming.
Despite a few complaints of pain by my wife, we kept praying and believing that they were just side effects of the two consecutive surgeries and that she would be okay with time because she felt much better after the second surgery.
On February 14, 2023, while my wife was getting ready to send our baby to the hospital for their routine weighing, she screamed in the washroom, asking me to come and see. Lo and behold! What I saw was shocking! God pushed the actual leftover, thee month old abdominal towel (rotten gauze) out of my wife’s body while passing out faeces.
Indeed, what God cannot do does not really exist! What doctors could not do despite their good will and medical knowledge, God did it in just a minute. How can something come out through feaces when it was not swallowed? In fact, this is amazing!
In the Bible, people gave God various names depending on their encounter with Him. Today, we call Him ‘Jehovah Gauze’ for showing His ability to move gauze lying in the abdomen into the large intestine without using any surgical tool.
“They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” – Revelation 12:11.
A man with a mental ailment received instant healing during an outreach event organised by the Salem District in the Agormanya District of The Church of Pentecost on February 12, 2023, at the Akosombo market.
Narrating the incident to PENTECOST NEWS, the Presiding Elder of the Salem Assembly, Elder Alfred Nhyiraba, said that the leadership of the Assembly, in consultation with the Agormanya District Minister, Pastor Emmanuel Kwabena Tetteh, decided to hold the February Gospel Sunday service in a public space and, therefore, settled on the market space to reach out to more people.
“While preaching during the service, I saw him (the mentally challenged man) standing directly across, facing me and clapping his hands. So, I asked him to come to me. He obliged and knelt before me. I immediately called on the other members present to gather around him and pray for him,” he said.
After a time of prayer, the man got up to his feet and testified that he had been healed.
“He asked for a Bible when he got up. So, quickly, one of the sisters gave her Bible to him. Deacon Michael Amanor, the Local Secretary, whose residence was nearby, took him home to get him some appropriate clothing,” Elder Nyiraba said.
The man has now been completely restored and fellowships with the Salem Assembly. To God be the glory.
Miss Edith Agyekumwaah Adusei, a student of the Pentecost University and member of the Newsite District in the Takoradi Area of The Church of Pentecost, received instant healing after enduring paralysis for two years.
The miraculous incident occurred on Friday, January 20, 2023, during an all-night service organised by the Newsite District Minister, Pastor Victor Asante Darko, to climax the district’s 21-day Fasting and Prayer exercise.
Narrating her ordeal to PENTECOST NEWS, Miss Edith said she began experiencing chills and weakness in her legs in the evening of Sunday, June 13, 2021, which coincided with the climax of the National Youth Week celebration and thanksgiving service.
According to her, when she woke up in the morning, she realised that both legs had swollen. She, therefore, visited the hospital for treatment and was told that she was suffering from hypotension (Low blood pressure).
“I experienced severe pains, which made me unable to walk properly. I became bedridden and developed bed sores as a result. In addition, I lost my appetite and developed sores in my mouth. My condition felt like a mild stroke where I could not handle things myself unless assisted,” she said.
She further revealed that the intensity of the pain led her to undergo further medical tests, CT scans, X-rays, hospital admissions, and apply various medications but to no avail.
“I lost hope; I always felt like I would not make it the next day because of the dreams I was having. I believe this was part of the devil’s schemes to instil fear in me; regardless, I kept my faith, trusted and waited on God to divinely heal and deliver me from this sickness,” she narrated.
Edith said as she waited on the Lord for divine intervention, she participated in various prayer programmes organised by the Church, including the “Roar Half-Night Prayers” and “Virtual Prayers with the Chairman” on Pent TV.
“Before the day of my healing, the Takoradi Area Head, Apostle Semenya Yao Dogbe, and Pastor Asante Darko visited me at home in the evening. The prayers and the word of God greatly encouraged me, and I became convinced that God will heal me at the end of the 21-day programme,” she stressed.
Recounting how the spectacular event happened, Edith said that, during the service, she felt severe pains in her legs – more than she had in the past. She, therefore, asked her mother to assist her to the upper gallery of the church auditorium so she could rest.
“Even though I tried sleeping, I could not; I joined the intercessory prayers due to the pains. Suddenly, I heard a loud voice repeatedly asking me to get up – this happened about nine times. I looked around but realised only children were sleeping, including my sister, who was busily praying. At the tenth time, the voice instructed me to check if I could feel the initial pains in my legs. So, I got up and started doing the things I could not do before, only to realise that I had been healed and regained the ability to walk again,” she recounted.
Edith said she immediately ran to the platform to share with the congregation the wondrous miracle that had taken place.
In her speech, Miss Adusei expressed gratitude to God for the divine touch. She also advised members of the Church to take the Lord’s Supper seriously, saying that the emblems (loafer and wine) always relieved her of her pain anytime she participated in the service.
She also thanked the Takoradi Area Head, Newsite District Minister, her family and the congregation for their immense support, encouragement and prayers during the difficult period.
“Every Christian has to be patient, have faith, trust God and avoid consulting other deities because God does things in His time and season,” she stated.
David Miyiri, a 19-year-old Muslim at Chongayiri in the Savannah Region of Ghana, has been miraculously healed of his hearing and speech impairment.
David, the son of a fetish priest at Tuna, received instant healing after the Soma District Minister of The Church of Pentecost, Overseer Christopher Atuah Yeboah, prayed for him at the district mission house.
According to the district minister, David was led to the mission house by his brother, Philip Chonga.
Narrating his family’s ordeal, Philip said they had tried all possible means, including traditional remedies, to have his brother cured, but to no avail.
“It was my uncle, who is an Elder of the church at Tuna, who advised us to visit the mission house for divine intervention,” he said.
After some time of intensive prayer, David received a divine touch that cause him to hear and speak for the first time in 19 years. He even sang to the glory of God.
Stunned by the miraculous incident, David, his parents and his sibling, Philip, have surrendered their lives to Christ and undergone water baptism.
