Pastor Tete Asare Shares Three Pillars Of Christian Living

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Pastor Thomas Tete Asare, the immediate past District Minister of the Windy Hill District in the Kasoa Area of The Church of Pentecost, has shared three guiding principles for a fulfilling Christian life: wholehearted service to God, generosity, and the practice of forgiveness.

He explained that these virtues underpin a successful life of faith. Wholehearted service earns divine approval; forgiveness fosters spiritual maturity; and generosity creates opportunities for those who embrace it.

Pastor Asare made these remarks during a farewell service held in his honour at the Windy Hill Central Assembly Auditorium on 10 August 2025. He and his wife, Mrs Evelyn Asare, have been transferred to the Buade District in the Teshie-Nungua Area, following four years of dedicated and impactful ministry in Windy Hill.

The service was officiated by Apostle Johnny Lartey Peprah, Assistant Registrar at Pentecost University, and was attended by congregants and well-wishers from across the country, including both active and retired ministers of the Church.

Delivering the sermon, Apostle Peprah drew his main text from Philippians 2:1-5, emphasising that the love of Christ is the foundation of every believer’s journey to heaven. Without it, he said, that journey cannot be completed.

He further noted that love is the most essential attribute in God’s eyes, affirming that Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death was motivated by divine love for humanity. Apostle Peprah therefore urged believers to always act in love, as love strengthens and unites the body of Christ.

Couple Donates Two Church Buildings To The Church Of Pentecost In Bolgatanga Area web

Couple Donates Two Church Buildings To The Church Of Pentecost In Bolgatanga Area

by with No Comment Church NewsMissionsTop Stories

The Founder of Good Shepherd Relief Foundation, Mr Nathaniel Dotse,  and his wife, Miriam, have donated two church buildings to the Bolgatanga Area of The Church of Pentecost. The couple, based in the USA, are committed Christians known for their philanthropic work through the Foundation.

The first donation, a Community-Based Church Building (CBCB) for the Kunkua Assembly in the Bongo District, was constructed and furnished at a cost of GH¢187,870.00. The couple went beyond the initial design by funding the ceiling, floor tiling, and full furnishing of the facility. Until then, the assembly worshipped under a tree after a heavy rainstorm destroyed their structure. Through the efforts of the Area Head, Apostle David Amankwaa, funds were secured from the Good Shepherd Relief Foundation to construct the permanent building.

On August 22, 2025, Apostle Amankwaa, assisted by the District Minister, Pastor Ebenezer Asare-Kissiedu, dedicated the building on behalf of the Chairman of the church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye. Present at the service were ministers and their wives, members of the Area Estate Committee, the chief of Kunkua and his elders, the project coordinator of the Foundation, and members of the Bongo District.

Speaking on the theme, “Sacrificial Giving” from Luke 7:1–10, Apostle Amankwaa stressed that giving is one of the channels through which God blesses His people.

“God will not request anything that He has not given to you,” he said, adding that sacrificial giving must flow from love for God and a desire to support His Kingdom work.

The following day, August 23, 2025, Apostle Amankwaa laid the foundation stone for a 700-seater auditorium, which includes a children’s auditorium and a conference hall. The project, also fully funded by Mr and Mrs Dotse, is near completion and scheduled for dedication in November 2025.

The Project Coordinator of the Good Shepherd Relief Foundation, Elder W. O. Daniel Aikins, who represented the couple at both services, affirmed the Foundation’s commitment to supporting the spread of the Gospel.

On behalf of the church, Apostle Amankwaa expressed profound gratitude to the couple for their selfless generosity, which has transformed the worship experience of the Kunkua Assembly. He prayed for God’s blessings upon them.

Delivering the sermon on the theme, “The Holy Spirit Will Continue to Lead and Guide the Church,” Apostle Joseph Assabil (retd) drew scripture references from Isaiah 55:8-9 and 1 Corinthians 2:9-16. He reminded the congregation that the affairs of the Church can never be run on human reasoning but only through divine guidance.

“The Church can only be built in God’s way, not by human wisdom,” he declared. Highlighting the vital role of the Executive Council, he likened it to the leadership of the early apostles who relied solely on prayer and the direction of the Holy Spirit to spread the gospel against all odds.

After the exhortation, Apostle Eric Nyamekye administered the induction charge.

On their part, the inductees accepted the charge, pledging to discharge their duties with diligence and humility, while depending on the grace of God for guidance. Together with their spouses, they were later dedicated in prayer by the Chairman, supported by the College of Apostles and Prophets, including two former retired General Secretaries of the church, Apostle Rigwell Ato Addison (retd) and Apostle Dr Alfred Koduah (retd), as fervent intercessions were lifted for divine strength and wisdom for the task ahead.

The Church of Pentecost on Sunday, August 31, 2025, inducted new leaders into four strategic ministries of the church at a solemn but colourful service held at the Pentecost International Worship Centre, Atomic (PIWC-Atomic).

Preaching the sermon on the theme, “The Holy Spirit Will Continue to Lead and Guide the Church,” Apostle Asabil (retd), referencing Isaiah 55:8–9 and 1 Corinthians 2:9–16, reminded believers that the work of God cannot be accomplished by human wisdom.

“The Church can only be built in God’s way, not by human wisdom,” he stressed, adding, “It is flattering to read in Scripture that we have the mind of Christ. But this is not a call into omniscience; rather, it is a call to be guided by the Holy Spirit.”

He also cautioned ministers against division, describing it as a scheme of the enemy to derail the mission of the Church.

In his charge to the inductees, Apostle Nyamekye urged them to fully understand their responsibilities, remain faithful to the constitution of the church, and diligently serve God, the Executive Council, the General Council, and the entire church community.

New Executive Council Members Urged To Rely On The Holy Spirit

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Newly inducted Executive Council members of The Church of Pentecost have been urged to depend wholly on the Holy Spirit in the discharge of their mandate.

A retired minister and former Executive Council member of the church, Apostle Joseph Assabil, gave the admonition in a sermon he delivered titled, ‘The Holy Spirt Will Continue To Lead And Guide The Church’ at the induction service held for the seven newly elected Executive Council members at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) Atomic.

The newly inducted Executive Council members are: Apostle Sundaram James Raj (India National Head), Apostle Dr David Nyansah Hayfron (Tarkwa Area Head), Apostle Dr Philip Osei-Korsah (Immediate past Counselling Ministry Director and Incoming Nkawkaw Area Head), Apostle John Budu Kobina Tawiah (Tamale Area Head), Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo (Immediate past National Coordinator of the Home and Urban Missions/Incoming Ho Area Head), Apostle Peter Kofi Dzemekey (Asokwa Area Head) and Apostle Abraham Swanzy (Immediate past Dormaa Ahenkro Area Head and Incoming Sunyani Area Head).

Also at the service, special prayer was said for Apostle Dr Paul Danso (Director, Counselling Ministry), Pastor Benjamin Quaye Ofei-Badu (National Coordinator, Home and Urban Missions), and Pastor ASP Thomas Owusu Brefo (National Coordinator, Prisons Ministry), who officially assumed their respective roles.

Preaching the sermon, Apostle Assabil (retd) quoted from Isaiah 55:8-9 and 1 Corinthians 2:9-16, and explained that if anyone decides to walk with God, it is the person who must submit to God, not the other way round.

He added that the Apostle Paul, in his writings to the early church, emphasized reliance on divine wisdom rather than human reasoning.“It is flattering to read in scripture that we have the mind of Christ.

But this is not a call into omniscience; rather, it is a call to be guided by the Holy Spirit,” he stressed.

Apostle Assabil highlighted the crucial role of the Executive Council in steering the affairs of the church, drawing parallels with the early apostles who relied on prayer and the direction of the Holy Spirit to spread the gospel despite the challenges.

He recalled the difficult transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, noting that it took divine guidance for the apostles to lead the church through that era.

“The church today is under attack. There are efforts to undermine the role of ministers in the administration and teaching of the church.

But we must remain loyal to the church, the Executive Council, and the Chairman, who together bear the responsibility of leading the church,” he admonished.

He further cautioned against division among ministers, describing it as a scheme of the enemy to derail the mission of the church, saying, “God chose all the Chairmen of the church ahead of time, polished and prepared them for the exact moment of their appointment,” he affirmed.

The induction ceremony marked a significant moment in the leadership of The Church of Pentecost as the new Executive Council members and ministry coordinators formally assumed their roles to support the global mission of the church.

A heartfelt farewell service was held on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at the Mamprobi Worship Centre in Accra to honour the outgoing National Coordinator of the Home and Urban Missions (HUM) of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo, and his wife, Mrs Agartha Kwafo, in recognition of their impactful ministry within the church.

Apostle Kwafo, the pioneering National Coordinator of HUM, has been transferred to serve as Area Head for the Ho Area, and will also be joining the Executive Council of the church.

Since his appointment as the first HUM Coordinator in 2019, Apostle Kwafo has played a pivotal role in establishing a ministry dedicated to reaching neglected and marginalised groups, including the Fulani, Chokosi, Kotokoli, and Chakali communities. Under his visionary leadership, HUM has experienced remarkable growth, initiating projects such as the Annual Fulani Convention, the School of Fulani Ministry, the PENT5000 Outreach, which has fed over 12,000 vulnerable children, and the establishment of hundreds of HUM assemblies and cells.

Known for his servant leadership, tireless work ethic, and fervent passion for soul-winning, Apostle Kwafo has inspired both ministers and congregants through his humility, dedication, and innovative strategies. His ministry ethos—that the gospel must reach all people, irrespective of their background—has led thousands to Christ and significantly shaped the spiritual landscape of the Church.

His wife, Mrs Agartha Kwafo, has been a spiritual pillar and ministry partner, known for her prophetic gifting, influential leadership among ministers’ wives, and her commitment to nurturing godly family values. Together, they have exemplified a balanced, prayerful Christian home, fostering unity and love within the church family.

The service featured a sermon by Apostle Daniel Sey, Area Head for Dansoman, who preached on the theme, “Knowing God’s Way Will Make You Successful,” based on Psalm 103:7. He emphasised the importance of seeking a deep, intimate understanding of God’s ways and presence, drawing parallels with Moses’ encounter with God in the wilderness, as the true path to success.

Apostle Sey indicated that enduring faith is not sustained by signs and wonders alone, but through continual alignment with God’s principles and presence.

Numerous heartfelt testimonies from ministers, ministry leaders, and Headquarters Management and Staff, celebrated the Kwafo family’s legacy of humility, integrity, and faithful service.
