The two-day conference officially commenced on Thursday, July 9, 2026, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, bringing together key stakeholders to engage in conversations centred on national transformation, ethical leadership and value-driven development.

The opening ceremony reflected Ghana’s rich cultural heritage and highlighted a shared commitment among participants to finding practical approaches to addressing national challenges through constructive dialogue and collective responsibility.

Throughout the conference, participants are expected to engage in keynote presentations, panel discussions and policy dialogues focused on sustainable development, ethical leadership, social cohesion and national transformation, in line with The Church of Pentecost’s vision of unleashing the Church to transform society through the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Over the years, NADEC has become one of The Church of Pentecost’s flagship platforms for national discourse, creating a space where faith, governance, academia and industry converge to address issues of national importance. The 2026 edition marks the third in the series.

Ghana Cannot Develop Without Shared Moral Values — Speaker Bagbin web

Ghana Cannot Develop Without Shared Moral Values — Speaker Bagbin

by with No Comment Church NewsOther NewsTop Stories

Ghana’s journey towards sustainable development must go beyond economic growth and physical infrastructure to include a deliberate renewal of the values, character and moral consciousness of its people, the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has stated.

Addressing participants at the opening service of the 2026 National Development Conference (NADEC) organised by The Church of Pentecost at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, the Speaker stressed that Ghana’s development challenges are not only economic or technical but are also deeply connected to moral and ethical issues.

He said the theme of the conference, “Moral Vision and National Development,” was a timely call for the nation to reflect on the values that must underpin its development efforts and rebuild its moral foundation.

According to Rt. Hon. Bagbin, Ghana’s abundant natural resources and opportunities can only translate into meaningful progress when the country builds a society anchored on integrity, accountability and responsible citizenship.

He explained that history has shown that nations that achieve sustainable advancement are those that recognise the importance of moral vision in shaping their institutions, leadership and collective progress.

“Where vision is absent, resources are wasted; where integrity is lacking, institutions become weakened; and where character is absent, progress becomes difficult to sustain,” he noted.

The Speaker emphasised that laws and institutions, although important, cannot by themselves create a responsible and transformed society. He argued that lasting national transformation begins with the renewal of the human heart and mind.

He outlined measures introduced by Parliament under his leadership to strengthen accountability and transparency, including the establishment of a Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament, a framework for the declaration of interests, anti-corruption initiatives and capacity-building programmes for parliamentary staff.

Rt. Hon. Bagbin also highlighted the introduction of the National Integrity Awards Scheme in 2025, an initiative aimed at recognising individuals and institutions that demonstrate honesty, ethical leadership and commitment to accountability.

He commended The Church of Pentecost for convening the National Development Conference, describing it as an important platform for national reflection on values, spirituality and social responsibility.

The Speaker noted that while infrastructure remains important to national progress, the greatest asset Ghana can develop is the character of its people.

“The greatest infrastructure any country can build is not roads, buildings, or physical structures, but the character of its people,” he stated.

The 2026 National Development Conference has brought together leaders from government, traditional institutions, the Church, academia, the private sector and civil society to deliberate on practical and values-driven approaches to Ghana’s development challenges.

PIWC-Akropong Auditorium Foundation Stone Laid pn

PIWC-Akropong Auditorium Foundation Stone Laid

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, on Friday, July 3, 2026, laid the foundation stone for the construction of the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC)–Akropong auditorium in the Koforidua Area.

The ceremony, held at the project site in Akropong-Akuapem, brought together the Koforidua Area Head, Apostle Mike Kwame Etrue and his wife, Mrs Ernestina Etrue, ministers and their spouses, traditional authorities, as well as members of the Church to witness the commencement of what is expected to become a major centre of worship and ministry in the area.

Delivering the sermon, Apostle Obuobi challenged Christians to consistently reflect their identity in Christ wherever they find themselves, stressing that believers are called to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world” to preserve godliness and dispel corruption in society.

Quoting Matthew 5:13-16, he explained that the Christian life is not confined to church auditoriums but is to be demonstrated in homes, workplaces, classrooms, boardrooms, and every sphere of society. He likened the church to a dressing room where believers are equipped before being sent into the world to live out Christlike lives.

He lamented the widening gap between faith and conduct, observing that many who profess Christianity engage in unethical practices in their workplaces. According to him, believers lose the significance of their calling when they fail to influence society with Kingdom values.

Drawing lessons from the lives of Nehemiah, Joseph, Daniel and David, Apostle Obuobi urged Christians, especially those occupying positions of influence, to remain steadfast in righteousness despite opposition. He noted that believers who develop deep roots in Christ are able to withstand life’s storms, assuring the congregation that God always vindicates those who faithfully stand for Him.

The establishment of PIWC Akropong traces its roots to the 46th Session of the General Council Meetings of The Church of Pentecost in 2023, where approval was granted for the creation of the district.

Even before the district was inaugurated, God had already prepared the way through the generosity of Elder Emmanuel Yirenkyi Antwi and his family, who donated four plots of land near Larteh Junction for the construction of a permanent auditorium.

PIWC Akropong was officially inaugurated on August 31, 2023, by the Koforidua Area Head, Apostle Mike Kwame Etrue. In its early stages, the district functioned as a centre-level district, with the constituent English assemblies worshipping at their respective locations while plans for a permanent place of worship progressed.

With seed funding and continuous support from the Executive Council of The Church of Pentecost construction commenced under the supervision of the Area Head and the pioneering District Minister, Pastor Alex Kojo Adjani.

Following the assumption of office by the current District Minister, Pastor Emmanuel Yarquah, the congregation was mobilised to unite at a single worship centre. Through the sacrificial giving and commitment of members, a functional basement was completed, enabling the district to hold its 2025 Christmas Convention on the project site.

The convention marked a significant milestone in the district’s journey, culminating in the merger of the previously scattered worship centres into one unified congregation.

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Koforidua Area Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, under the leadership of Deaconess Dr. Gertrude Ansaaku Yirenkyi-Antwi, held a special programme dubbed “Precious Time with the Area Head’s Wife – Mrs. Ernestina Etrue” on Friday, June 26, 2026, at the Central Tabernacle, Koforidua.

The event brought together about 700 participants, including ministers and their wives, women, men, and Virtuous Ladies, to honour Mrs. Ernestina Etrue, wife of the Koforidua Area Head, Apostle Mike Kwame Etrue, ahead of their retirement in August 2026.

Inspired by Ruth 1:8–9, where Naomi blessed her daughters-in-law before departing from Moab, the programme celebrated Mrs. Etrue’s enduring legacy of faith, service, and spiritual mentorship.

Speaking on the theme, “Women Unleashed – Retreating to Have Precious Time with the Lord,” Mrs. Etrue encouraged women to cultivate a consistent and intimate relationship with God through personal devotion. Drawing lessons from Psalm 63:1 and Luke 10:38–42, she described Mary’s decision to sit at Jesus’ feet as the model of genuine devotion, stressing that believers must intentionally create time to seek God amid life’s demands.

She explained that spending precious time with the Lord renews strength, provides divine direction, transforms lives, and deepens fellowship with God, citing Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 119:105, Romans 12:2, and James 4:8. She urged participants to make daily communion with God a lifelong priority.

In his remarks, Apostle Mike Kwame Etrue underscored the importance of seeking God with humility and faith. He also expressed appreciation to the Area Women’s Ministry Executive Committee and the entire membership for their unwavering support and dedicated service throughout his tenure.

The programme featured fervent intercessory prayers led by Mrs. Philipina Yanney, a moving tribute by Karen Sarfoa Amoako of the Shekinah Worship Centre Children’s Ministry, and inspiring ministrations by the Area Mass Choir under the leadership of Pastor Isaac Ayisi Kumi.

As a mark of appreciation, the Area Women’s Ministry presented a plaque of honour to Mrs. Ernestina Etrue in recognition of her exemplary service and lasting impact on the ministry.

The memorable event concluded with participants leaving inspired to pursue a deeper walk with God while celebrating the remarkable legacy of a woman whose life has faithfully exemplified devotion, humility, and Kingdom service.

Jesus Christ Is God's Priceless Gift to Humanity Web.jpg

Jesus Christ Is God’s Priceless Gift to Humanity – Apostle Obuobi

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has described Jesus Christ as God’s priceless gift to humanity, stressing that salvation, true freedom, peace, and eternal life are found in Him alone.

Speaking on the theme, “The Priceless Gift,” based on 2 Corinthians 9:15, during the climax of the Fire Conference 2026 held on Sunday, July 5, 2026, at the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) in Sunyani, Apostle Obuobi explained that the gift of Christ is beyond human description and cannot be compared with anything of earthly value.

Defining a gift as something given willingly without payment or conditions attached, the General Secretary noted that gifts are expressions of love and appreciation. However, he indicated that among all the gifts God has bestowed upon humanity, Jesus Christ stands alone as the greatest and most valuable.

“God is the giver of every good and perfect gift, yet His greatest gift to mankind is Jesus Christ,” he stated, adding, “This gift is priceless because it cannot be bought, sold, or exchanged for anything.”

According to Apostle Obuobi, the gift of Christ comes freely to all people, not through human effort or merit, but through faith. He explained that no one can earn salvation because it is God’s gracious provision for mankind.

He further described Jesus as God’s “indescribable” or “unspeakable” gift, explaining that the term signifies something too profound, overwhelming, and magnificent to be fully expressed in words.

“The gift of Jesus surpasses every human description,” he said. “Nothing can adequately capture His worth because there is nothing that can be given in exchange for Him.”

Highlighting why Jesus is God’s priceless gift, Apostle Obuobi pointed to the exclusive role of Christ in salvation.

“It is in Jesus Christ alone that we find salvation,” he emphasised, explaining that salvation is God’s deliverance from sin, its power, and its ultimate consequence, which is eternal death.

He added that Jesus alone possesses the authority to liberate humanity from the bondage of sin and death.

He further stressed that genuine freedom is found only in Christ, saying that those whom the Son sets free are free indeed.

Apostle Obuobi also described Jesus as the Prince of Peace, noting that through His sacrificial work, believers have been reconciled to God and have become co-heirs with Christ, enjoying the rich inheritance prepared for God’s children.

He concluded by encouraging participants to wholeheartedly receive and embrace God’s priceless gift by placing their faith in Jesus Christ, who alone offers abundant life, lasting peace, and eternal salvation.

The conference was organised by the Youth Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, in collaboration with the UENR Students’ Chaplaincy Council (SCC).

Prez Mahama Calls For Moral Renewal For “The Ghana We Want” web.jpg

Prez Mahama Calls For Moral Renewal For “The Ghana We Want”

by with No Comment Other NewsTop Stories

President John Dramani Mahama has called on all Ghanaians to undergo a renewal of mind and heart and to embrace positive moral values as a foundation for national transformation towards the achievement of “The Ghana We Want.”

He made the call when addressing the second edition of the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving held at the forecourt of the State House in Accra.

The President noted that throughout Ghana’s history, the nation has instinctively turned to God in moments of difficulty and reflection, describing the gathering as one of the defining moments in the country’s spiritual and national life.

He referenced the impact of recent floods, including the loss of lives and destruction of property, urging citizens not only to reflect on such tragedies but also to remain grateful to God in all circumstances. According to him, lasting national transformation cannot be achieved through policy alone, stressing that while laws may regulate behaviour, they cannot regulate values such as honesty, integrity, and moral discipline.

President Mahama further emphasised the role of citizens in shaping national development, stating that the Ghana the nation aspires to can only be realised through the collective resolve of its people. He attributed Ghana’s economic progress in part to God’s grace and acknowledged the contributions of successive governments and citizens in building the country’s current status.

He urged Ghanaians to consolidate the gains made so far and ensure that development benefits all citizens. Quoting biblical reference from James 2:17, he encouraged the blending of faith with action, calling on citizens to demonstrate commitment through their works.

The President also highlighted the importance of unity in diversity, insisting that beyond all differences, “we are first and foremost Ghanaians.” He made a broad appeal to all segments of society—including religious leaders, traditional authorities, the judiciary, security services, business community, farmers, artisans, and workers—to play their respective roles in national renewal.

He concluded with a call for collective responsibility, urging citizens to commit themselves to good values in every space they occupy, so that history will record that when Ghana was called to reset, its people responded decisively to build the nation they desire.

Values, Not Resources, Will Determine Ghana’s Future web.jpg

Values, Not Resources, Will Determine Ghana’s Future – Apostle Nyamekye

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanOther NewsTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost and President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, has stated that Ghana’s future will not be determined by its natural resources, but by the values and moral principles upheld by its citizens.

He made the assertion when delivering a sermon at the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving held at the forecourt of the State House on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.

Preaching on the theme “Resetting Our Values to Build the Ghana We Want” and referencing Jeremiah 29:4–8, Apostle Nyamekye drew lessons from Israel’s experience in exile, noting that God instructed the exiles to settle, build houses, and seek the peace and prosperity of their host nation.

He cautioned that in times of hardship, societies become vulnerable to false teachings and misleading voices, referencing the rebuke of the prophet Jeremiah against Hananiah regarding Israel’s return from exile.

According to him, Ghana must adopt a long-term national development mindset rather than one driven by short-term political cycles and election manifestos. He stressed that national planning must go beyond electoral considerations and focus on a sustained vision for the next 50 years and beyond.

“There is hope for the future as God has not abandoned the nation,” he said, emphasizing the need for a non-partisan and value-driven approach to national development.

Apostle Nyamekye explained that values—defined as fundamental moral principles that guide behaviour—are central to national transformation. He stated that a nation’s progress is directly linked to the character and values of its citizens.

Citing the biblical instruction to “seek the peace and prosperity of Babylon,” he noted that national development is achieved when citizens actively contribute to the prosperity of their country.

He further stressed that countries are not necessarily wealthy because of abundant natural resources, but because of value-based systems that shape governance and society. “Man’s greatest resource is man himself,” he said.

He called for deliberate national efforts to promote moral values and behavioural change, warning that societies with conflicting values struggle to achieve meaningful development.

Apostle Nyamekye also urged renewed efforts in education and moral formation as tools to address corruption, unemployment, and lack of patriotism, while encouraging the Church to strengthen its role in shaping society.

He further called for the revival of family altars in Christian homes as part of raising a disciplined and value-driven generation.

He concluded that Ghana’s transformation depends on the emergence of a renewed citizenry committed to values, responsibility, and national progress.

The Church of Pentecost Reaches Out to Members Affected by Accra Floods

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanMoving With GsOther NewsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, led a delegation on behalf of the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, to visit members affected by the devastating floods that swept through parts of Accra on Monday, June 29, 2026.

The pastoral visit was aimed at encouraging the affected members, praying with them, and assuring them of the Church’s support during this difficult period.

The delegation comprised Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi (Immediate past General Secretary of the Church and Executive Council Member/Ashaiman Area Head), Apostle Dr Dieudonné Komla Nuekpe (Executive Council Member and La Area Head), Apostle Dr Paul Danso (Director, Counselling Ministry), Apostle Isaac Amatey Anim (Weija Area Head), Apostle Johnny Lartey Peprah (Assistant Registrar, Pentecost School of Theology and Missions, Pentecost University), Apostle William Edzhorhoho (Downtown-Ofaakor Area Head), Pastor Dr Felix Dela Klutse (Director, Pent Media Centre), Pastor Dr Ebenezer Kpalam (Director, Postgraduate Studies and Research Directorate, Pentecost University), and Pastor Hamza Obuobi Osei (An Administrative Secretary to the General Secretary).

Apostle Samuel Obuobi conveyed Apostle Nyamekye’s heartfelt greetings to the flood victims and assured them of the prayers and support of the entire Church.

He encouraged the affected members to remain steadfast in their faith despite the challenges they are facing.

“The Church stands with you in prayer and encouragement. Remain steadfast in the Lord and do not allow these circumstances to shake your faith. God is with you, and together we will overcome this difficult moment,” he said.

Drawing on his professional background as a structural engineer, Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi urged the public to avoid constructing buildings in waterways, noting that such practices significantly increase the impact of flooding.

He also appealed to residents to refrain from indiscriminate disposal of refuse, stressing that choked drains and blocked waterways continue to worsen flooding during heavy rains.

The delegation first visited Tetegu in the Weija Area, where they met affected members of the Amenuveve Assembly before proceeding to the Hillside Assembly to fellowship with other victims.

The team later travelled to Awoshie in the Odorkor Area, where flood victims had gathered at the Odorkor PIWC Auditorium. There, the General Secretary and his team counselled them, prayed with them, and offered words of hope and encouragement to them.

The final stop of the visit was at the Afuaman Central Assembly in the Anyaa-Ablekuma Area, where the delegation met members who had also been affected by the floods.

The visit reflects The Church of Pentecost’s commitment to providing both spiritual and practical support to members during times of crisis, a hallmark of the Church’s response to national emergencies and disasters.

BE A GOOD STEWARD OF GOD web

Be A Good Steward Of God’s Grace – Apostle Dr Nuekpe

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The La Area Head and Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe, has called on Women’s Ministry leaders at all levels to work together for the growth of God’s church.

He made this appeal during an interaction with Area, District, and Local leaders on Wednesday, 24th June, 2026 at Dr Thomas Wyatt Temple.

According to him, the meeting was organised to fellowship, encourage, and express appreciation for the remarkable work God has accomplished through their efforts over the years.

Apostle Nuekpe acknowledged the contributions of faithful women such as Deaconess Eunice Addison, Deaconess Christiana Obo, Deaconess Perpetual Owusu, and Deaconess Beatrice Kwafo, among others in advancing the church.

He emphasised that no generation can complete God’s work as the mission of the church continues daily. The church’s growth requires the emergence of new leaders, but this does not make older leaders irrelevant. As long as they have strength and the Holy Spirit dwells in them, they remain valuable contributors to God’s kingdom.

Drawing from 1 Peter 4:8–11, Apostle Nuekpe explained that grace comes from God and believers are only stewards of it and should faithfully use their gifts, talents, skills, and grace for God’s glory, noting that there is still much work to be done.

He stressed that being reviewed from a position does not mean one’s usefulness in God’s service has ended. Rather, leaders should continue to use their God-given abilities to bless others, remembering that a time will come when no one can work.

Touching on Vision 2028, he noted that every church member has a role to play. Even those without formal positions can contribute through prayer, and active participation in ministry activities, visitations, calls, teaching, and outreach.

Apostle Nuekpe underscored the value of retired deaconesses, stating that they still have much to offer. He cautioned former leaders against withdrawing after transitions, reminding them that church work is spiritual and that everyone remains accountable to God.

Referencing 2 Timothy 2:2 and Deuteronomy 31:7–8, he urged older leaders to intentionally mentor younger ones, just as Moses encouraged Joshua. He also advised members to support and encourage current leaders rather than criticise them. “We are not in competition with anyone,” he said, adding that God is the ultimate rewarder.

He further encouraged new leaders to learn from experienced ones, whose wisdom and institutional memory can help advance the church. Quoting Philippians 4:2–4, he stressed the importance of unity between old and new leaders and warned against unhealthy factions and divisions within the Ministry and the church.

Apostle Nuekpe reminded the women that, positions are temporary, but heavenly rewards are eternal. Remain united, respect one another, and avoid anything that hinders the progress of God’s church because where competition exists, destruction follows.

Apostle Gakpetor Urges Believers To Rediscover The Transforming Power Of Scripture web

Apostle Gakpetor Urges Believers To Rediscover The Transforming Power Of Scripture

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Chairman of the National Discipleship and Leadership Development Committee (NDLDC) of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Samuel Kojo Gakpetor, has called on believers to make the study and practice of Scripture a daily priority, describing it as essential to Christian growth and transformation.

He made this call on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, during an exhortation at the Pentecost Literacy Project (PLP) Facilitators’ Training held in Bolgatanga.

Speaking on the topic, “The Place and Practice of Scripture,” Apostle Dr. Gakpetor drew lessons from Acts 17:10–12 and 2 Timothy 3:16–17, noting that the core objective of the PLP is to equip all members of The Church of Pentecost to read, understand, and personally engage with the Word of God.

According to him, Scripture remains God’s most effective instrument for transforming the believer. He explained that, being divinely inspired, the Word of God is profitable for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, with the ultimate purpose of thoroughly equipping believers for every good work.

He therefore encouraged participants to cultivate a consistent habit of reading, studying, and memorising the Bible. He stressed that engaging with Scripture is, in essence, engaging with God Himself, the Author of the Scriptures.

Referring to the Bereans in Acts 17, Apostle Dr. Gakpetor, who also serves as the Agormanya Area Head, urged believers to emulate their noble example by receiving the Word with eagerness and examining the Scriptures daily to discover the truth for themselves and establish it as a standard for life and ministry.

He concluded by quoting from the Gideons Bible, describing Scripture in these words:

“This Book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable.

Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practise it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveller’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword, and the Christian’s character.

Here, Paradise is restored, Heaven opened, and the gates of hell are closed. Christ is its grand object, our good is its design, and the glory of God is its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.

Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is given to you in life, will be opened at the judgement, and will be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labour, and condemns all who trifle with its sacred contents.”
