Dawhenya District Supports 71 Members with Business Seed Capital

The Dawhenya District of the The Church of Pentecost in the Tema Area has empowered seventy-one members with a total seed capital of GHS 93,701.00 to support and strengthen their small trading ventures.

The initiative, funded through the District’s 2025 District Week III programme, forms part of the Church’s Vision 2028 agenda and reflects a deliberate commitment to holistic ministry that integrates spiritual growth with economic empowerment.

The intervention was designed to move beyond financial assistance by serving as a strategic investment in the productive capacity and dignity of members. District leadership emphasised that the objective was to help beneficiaries launch, stabilise and expand viable business ventures, thereby promoting sustainable livelihoods and community impact. The programme reflects the District’s conviction that Christian ministry must address both spiritual and socio-economic needs of members.

Under the leadership of District Pastor Ps. Bright Amankwah, the Dawhenya District has consistently pursued a balanced approach to discipleship that promotes spiritual maturity alongside economic responsibility. The District reiterated its commitment to raising members who are spiritually grounded while remaining economically resilient and socially relevant.

To ensure transparency and responsible stewardship of church resources, an interview and vetting process was instituted to assess applicants. The selection of the first batch of 71 beneficiaries was based on clearly defined criteria, including genuine need, feasibility of proposed business ideas and demonstrated commitment to stewardship principles. This structured approach reflected the District’s determination to manage resources prudently while maximising kingdom and community impact.

In addition to the financial support, a one-day empowerment and capacity-building training programme was organised for beneficiaries. Participants were equipped with essential knowledge in basic business management, financial discipline and sustainability practices. The training aimed at ensuring that the seed capital would be effectively utilised and multiplied for long-term benefit.

The District expressed confidence that the initiative will contribute to improved household income levels, strengthen local economic activity and reduce financial dependency while supporting kingdom advancement and community development.

The Gospel The Most Important Message Of The Christian Faith web

Gospel Is Greatest Legacy For Future Generations – Pastor Tetteh Declares

The greatest and most enduring legacy believers can pass on to future generations is the gospel of Jesus Christ, according to Pastor Frederick Tetteh of the The Church of Pentecost. He made this assertion during the Sogakope District Gospel Sunday Celebration held on February 22, 2026, at the Sogakope District English Assembly Auditorium.

Preaching on the theme, “The Power of the Gospel in Transforming Lives and Society,” Pastor Tetteh grounded his message on several scripture passages, including Romans 1:16, 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Titus 2:3–5. He explained that the life and ministry of Jesus Christ—from His birth through His earthly ministry, death and resurrection—constitute the gospel message, a divine power capable of transforming both individuals and society.

Using a practical analogy, Pastor Tetteh described the gospel as humanity’s ultimate operational manual. He noted that just as machines require manuals to function effectively and be repaired when necessary, human life is best guided by the principles of the gospel. He stressed that the message of Christ remains effective because it is empowered by God Himself.

The District Pastor encouraged members to remain committed to evangelistic work, stating that the gospel is the only spiritual instrument with the power to break chains, deliver the oppressed and bring lasting transformation to society. He affirmed that God continues to confirm the preaching of the gospel through signs and wonders accompanying faithful proclamation.

Referencing Acts 9:1, he warned believers to remain spiritually alert, explaining that the enemy constantly seeks opportunities to oppose the work of God. He therefore urged members to adopt strategic and persistent approaches in sharing the gospel. Drawing lessons from Galatians 1:23–24 and Luke 19:1–10, he highlighted the transforming power of a genuine encounter with Christ, citing the lives of Zacchaeus and Apostle Paul as examples.

Concluding his message, Pastor Tetteh charged members to uphold integrity in their Christian witness and to live consistently with the message they proclaim. He cautioned against hypocrisy, urging believers to ensure that their words and actions reflect the truth of the gospel as they seek to influence the world for Christ.

The visit, which took place at the Akontombra Palace, formed part of activities marking the 72-Hour Kohinta Healing and Revival Service held in the Akontombra Zone. The Area Head was accompanied by Pastor Collins Sunday (District Pastor, Akontombra District), Overseer Prince Ofori (District Minister, Essase District), Probationary Overseer Samuel Nkansa Appiah (Secretary to the Area Ministry to the Chieftaincy Committee and District Minister, Aburonehia District), and a delegation of elders.

Welcoming the delegation, Nana Kwabena Ebie II expressed heartfelt appreciation for the honour done him and his traditional council. He noted that chieftaincy institutions are sometimes misunderstood and distanced from Christian worship due to misconceptions associated with traditional authority. He, however, openly affirmed his membership of the Church and expressed pride in the recognition the Church accords the chieftaincy institution through targeted programmes and engagements.

The Chief emphasised that kingship continues to play a vital role in God’s divine agenda, referencing biblical examples where kings and priests were instrumental in advancing God’s purposes. He commended the Church for its strategic and intentional collaboration with traditional authorities toward societal transformation.

Responding, Apostle Davidson thanked the Chief and his elders for the warm reception and reiterated that the Church recognises the indispensable role of traditional leaders in advancing God’s Kingdom on earth. He stressed that God desires to use royals as agents of transformation within their communities. Sharing a testimony from a previous station, he recounted how intentional ministry to a palace led to the conversion of a chief, resulting in spiritual renewal and positive socio-economic impact in the community.

The visit concluded with prayer for the Chief and his elders, reaffirming the Church’s commitment to deepening engagement with the chieftaincy institution for holistic transformation.

The Fruit Of The Gospel Is A Changed Life – Apostle Samul Obuobi web

The Fruit Of The Gospel Is A Changed Life – Apostle Samul Obuobi

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has emphasized that the ultimate evidence of the gospel is a transformed life, urging Christian students to reflect Christ through character, conduct, and convictions.

He made this assertion during an apostolic visit to Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), where he preached on the theme “The Fruit of the Gospel,” drawing from Colossians 1:3–6.

Apostle Obuobi explained that the gospel, which proclaims the saving work of Jesus Christ, carries the power to change hearts, renew minds, and redirect lives toward righteousness. According to him, wherever the gospel is genuinely received and understood, it produces visible transformation, just as it did in the early Church.

He noted that salvation through the gospel brings believers into the Kingdom of God, but life in the Kingdom demands the pursuit and practice of Kingdom values, principles, virtues, and lifestyle. “The gospel is not only meant to be heard or preached; it must be lived,” he stressed, adding that a changed life remains the clearest testimony of a genuine encounter with Christ.

Addressing the students, Apostle Obuobi charged them to see the university campus as a strategic mission field, where their daily choices, academic integrity, and relationships should reflect the transforming power of the gospel. He cautioned that Christianity without transformation weakens the Church’s witness and limits its impact on society.

Also president at the service were Pastor Ebo Kwabena Quaye, Resident Minister of PENSA KNUST, hiw wife and Pastor Emmanuel Yerabi, Patron of PENSA KNUST and Resident Minister of PIWC Asokwa.

The visit concluded with prayers for the students to become agents of transformation, whose changed lives will advance the Kingdom of God and influence their generation for Christ.

General Secretary Urges Ministers To Preach With Power And Purpose web

General Secretary Urges Ministers To Preach With Power And Purpose

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has called on ministers of the gospel to combine sound biblical preaching with the demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit in order to effectively transform society.

Delivering a word of exhortation at the 2026 Missions Board Meeting of the Church in Accra on the theme, “They Heard and Saw,” Apostle Obuobi emphasised that the Church’s mission to transform society must be carried out through two essential instruments—the preaching of the gospel and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s power.

According to him, society encompasses every sphere of life where Christians find themselves, and the Church must intentionally influence these spaces with kingdom values.

Drawing lessons from Acts 8:6-7, he noted that the persecution of the early Christians led to the spread of the gospel across nations, citing the ministry of Philip in Samaria as a model for effective ministry. He explained that Philip’s work demonstrated two essential pillars of ministry: the message people heard and the signs they saw.

Apostle Obuobi stressed that every minister must have a clear message from God, noting that ministry cannot thrive without a definite word from the Lord.

“Every minister must have a message; you must have something to say. I do not believe a minister should stand without a message,” he stated, adding that ministers must wait on the Lord in prayer and study in order to receive divine direction.

Referencing 2 Samuel 18:28-30, he explained that people naturally pay attention to ministers because of the message they carry and, therefore, ministers must be intentional about proclaiming God’s word faithfully.

He further urged ministers to support the preaching of the gospel with visible demonstrations of God’s power, noting that effective ministry requires both proclamation and action.

Quoting Acts 1:1, Apostle Obuobi highlighted that Jesus Christ “began both to do and to teach,” indicating that Christian ministry must reflect the same pattern.

He, therefore, encouraged ministers to preach the Word with conviction while allowing their ministries to be accompanied by signs and practical expressions of the gospel, so that people will both hear and see the transforming power of God.

Participants at the meeting include Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe, Missions Director (MD); Coordinators of the Missions Regional Blocs; Elder Prof. Stephen Owusu Kwankye (Finance Board Chairman); Pastor Emmanuel Appah (Finance and Administration Director); and the Church’s Legal Representative.

The meeting began on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, and is expected to end on Thursday, February 26, 2026.
