“More Blessed To Give Than To Receive” — Chairman Defends Church’s Social Interventions

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has reiterated that the Church’s growing investment in national infrastructure and community development is not a show of affluence, but a faithful expression of biblical values.

Speaking at the commissioning of the Pentecost Fire Station on May 14, 2025, Apostle Nyamekye quoted Acts 20:35: “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” emphasising that the Church’s developmental projects stem from a Christ-centred mission, not from financial surplus.

“We are doing all these not because we have in abundance,” he explained, “but to demonstrate the love of Christ and contribute meaningfully to national growth.”

He further quoted former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, saying, “What is done for the community lives beyond the individual,” to underscore the Church’s vision of creating lasting impact through legacy-driven development.

The Chairman noted that the newly commissioned fire station is part of broader church-led interventions that strengthen Ghana’s national security and emergency response systems. He reaffirmed the Church’s commitment to strategic partnerships with government institutions to advance national development.

Apostle Nyamekye listed some of the Church’s key infrastructure projects, including two police stations, two prison reformation centres (Ejura and Nsawam), with additional centres under construction at Obuasi and Damongo. The Damongo facility is expected to be commissioned in June 2025.

In the social sector, the Church has also made significant strides. Between 2019 and 2024, it installed 239 mechanised boreholes across underserved communities, benefitting more than 110,000 people. The Church is currently constructing five new health facilities—including a specialist hospital—to add to its 12 existing medical centres.

Apostle Nyamekye emphasised that these efforts are not merely acts of charity, but a practical demonstration of the Church’s mission to transform society with Kingdom values.

“As a church, we believe that we have been called not only to worship God but also to serve His purpose within society,” he said.

Pentecost Fire Station First-Ever Fire Station Built By A Private Institution In Ghana web

Pentecost Fire Station: First-Ever Fire Station Built By A Private Institution In Ghana

by with No Comment Church NewsPENTSOSTop Stories

The newly commissioned Pentecost Fire Station, fully funded, built, and furnished by The Church of Pentecost, has been described as the first-ever fire station constructed by a private institution in Ghana—and one of the most beautiful and well-equipped in the country.

This was disclosed by Madam Daniella Mawusi Ntow-Sarpong, Acting Chief Fire Officer of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), during her welcome address at the official commissioning and handover ceremony held on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh.

“For the first time in our history, a religious organisation has built and handed over a fully functional fire station to the Ghana National Fire Service,” Madam Ntow-Sarpong noted. “This facility is not only beautiful but meets high operational standards, and it is a testament to what faith-based institutions can contribute to national development.”

She emphasised that the investment by The Church of Pentecost is a significant contribution to the safety and wellbeing of citizens and will greatly enhance the operational efficiency of the GNFS in the Gomoa enclave and beyond.

“This fire station brings us closer to the people we serve. It is a demonstration of how partnerships between public service and faith-based institutions can positively impact the entire nation,” she stated.

Madam Ntow-Sarpong further highlighted that the collaboration with The Church of Pentecost goes beyond infrastructure. The Church has also provided a Chaplain to minister to the spiritual needs of GNFS personnel, in line with its holistic approach to ministry—one that seeks to save both lives and souls.

“Nation-building is not the sole responsibility of the state. It is a shared responsibility,” she stressed. “Corporate bodies and religious organisations must emulate this remarkable act. Fire safety is a collective duty, and the Ghana National Fire Service cannot do it alone.”

She expressed deep gratitude to the leadership and members of The Church of Pentecost for what she described as a generous and unprecedented donation that has set a high standard for future partnerships.

“Together,” she concluded, “we can build a nation where communities are safe, lives are protected, and every citizen plays a part in our collective development.”

The Pentecost Fire Station, completed within 18 months, is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including administrative offices, an IT/Monitoring Room, conference room, four syndicate rooms, and separate crew quarters for male and female personnel. The station is expected to significantly reduce emergency response times in Gomoa Yesukrom, Gomoa Fetteh, and neighbouring communities.

The initiative to establish a fire station in the Gomoa Yesukrom community originated during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) was repurposed as an isolation centre. At the time, the then Chief Fire Officer, Mr. Julius A. Kuunor, deployed a team of fire officers to provide fire cover for the facility. Following a comprehensive risk assessment, it became evident that there was a critical need for a fire station within the community, as the nearest stations were located at the Kasoa Overpass and Budumburam—both a significant distance away.

In line with its “Possessing the Nations” agenda, the leadership of The Church of Pentecost recognised the urgency of the situation and responded to the request of the Ghana National Fire Service by constructing a fully equipped fire station. This facility is now positioned to primarily serve the Gomoa Yesukrom community, while also extending emergency services to the broader Gomoa Fetteh area and its surrounding communities.

GOMOA EAST MP HAILS PENTECOST FIRE STATION PROJECT web

Gomoa East MP Hails Pentecost Fire Station Project

by with No Comment Church NewsOther NewsPENTSOSTop Stories

Hon. Dr. Desmond De-Graft Paitoo, Member of Parliament for the Gomoa East Constituency, has lauded The Church of Pentecost for its foresight and commitment in constructing an ultra-modern fire station at Gomoa Yesukrom.

Speaking at the commissioning and dedication ceremony held on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, the MP described the project as a “tremendous initiative” worthy of emulation.

The idea to establish a fire station in the area was conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) served as an isolation centre. At the time, the then Chief Fire Officer, Mr. Julius A. Kuunor, deployed a team of fire officers to provide safety coverage for the facility. A subsequent risk assessment revealed a critical gap in fire protection services in the area, with the nearest stations located at the Kasoa Overpass and Budumburam—both several kilometres away.

In response to an appeal from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), and in line with its Possessing the Nations agenda, the leadership of The Church of Pentecost accepted the challenge and fully funded the construction of the fire station. The facility, which was executed within 18 months, now stands as a beacon of safety and community service for Gomoa Yesukrom, Gomoa Fetteh, and surrounding towns.

Hon. Dr. Paitoo praised the Church for responding to a national need with such urgency and excellence. “This is a model of partnership and patriotism. If other institutions were to emulate this example, Ghana would be far advanced,” he remarked.

During the event, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, outlined similar interventions by the Church across the country. He highlighted the construction of two police stations, two prison reformation centres (in Ejura and Nsawam), and two more currently under construction in Obuasi and Damongo. The Damongo facility is expected to be commissioned in June 2025.

In addition to enhancing security infrastructure, the Church has significantly impacted Ghana’s water, health, and education sectors. From 2019 to 2024, The Church of Pentecost installed 239 mechanised boreholes in deprived communities, benefiting over 110,000 people. Five new health facilities—including a specialist hospital—are currently under construction to add to the 12 already operational under the Church’s health ministry.

Apostle Nyamekye reiterated that these acts of service are not displays of excess wealth, but expressions of biblical faith in action. “We are not doing this because we have more than enough. We are simply living out the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in Acts 20:35: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Ultra-Modern “Pentecost Fire Station” Commissioned

by with No Comment Church NewsOther NewsTop Stories

The Church of Pentecost has commissioned a state-of-the-art fire station at Gomoa Yesukrom, near the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in the Gomoa East District, to bolster emergency response services within the area and its environs.

The facility was officially handed over to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) by Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, during a commissioning ceremony held on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at the Pentecost Convention Centre. The event brought together a host of dignitaries, including government officials, traditional leaders, and senior clergy.

The Minister for the Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak officially commissioned the facility with support from the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, and other key dignitaries including Madam Daniella Mawusi Ntow-Sarpong (Acting Chief Fire Officer, GNFS), Hon. Dr. Desmond De-Graft Paitoo (Member of Parliament, Gomoa East Constituency), and Hon. Margaret Naana Ackom (District Chief Executive).

Also in attendance were Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi (General Secretary), Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe (Missions Director), Executive Council Members, heads of churches, and officers of the GNFS.

The Pentecost Fire Station project was birthed during the COVID-19 pandemic following a risk assessment that identified a critical gap in fire safety coverage in the Gomoa enclave since the nearest two (2) were located at the Kasoa overpass and Budumburam. It forms part of the Church’s “Possessing the Nations” agenda—the ten-year vision of the Church aimed at transforming every sphere of society with Kingdom values and principles.

The new fire station, executed within 18 months, is fully equipped with modern amenities, including administrative offices, an IT/Monitoring Room, conference room, four syndicate rooms, and separate crew rooms for male and female personnel. The facility is expected to significantly reduce emergency response times in Gomoa Yesukrom, Gomoa Fetteh, and surrounding communities.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Hon. Muntaka Mubarak commended The Church of Pentecost for what he described as a “timely and strategic contribution” to Ghana’s national safety infrastructure by constructing the newly commissioned Pentecost Fire Station at Gomoa Yesukrom.

“This facility could not have come at a better time,” he stated. “It will significantly improve emergency response times in Gomoa Yesukrom and surrounding communities, while also reducing the operational burden on the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) in the area.”

Hon. Muntaka noted that this latest intervention by the Church adds to a growing list of security-related infrastructure provided by The Church of Pentecost in recent years, adding that this level of partnership between faith-based institutions and the state should be encouraged and emulated.

Addressing the gathering, Apostle Eric Nyamekye stated that the commissioning of the fire station aligns with the Church’s broader commitment to national development and enhancing the national security infrastructure. He commended the Ghana National Fire Service for their dedication and reaffirmed the Church’s resolve to support state institutions.

The Chairman highlighted similar social interventions by the Church, including the construction of two police stations and two prison reformation centres in Ejura and Nsawam, with two more underway in Obuasi and Damongo. The Damongo facility is scheduled for commissioning in June 2025.

He further noted that from 2019 to 2024, the Church has provided 239 mechanised boreholes in deprived communities, serving over 110,000 beneficiaries. The Church is also constructing five new health facilities, including a specialist hospital, to complement the 12 already operational under its health ministry.

Apostle Eric Nyamekye reiterated that the Church’s growing investment in national infrastructure and community development is not a show of affluence, but a faithful expression of biblical values.

“We are doing all these not because we have in abundance,” he explained, “but to demonstrate the love of Christ and contribute meaningfully to national growth.”

Concluding his speech, Apostle Nyamekye officially handed over the PCC Fire Station to the Minister for the Interior, urging all stakeholders to play their part in supporting national institutions.

“As we officially commission this station, let us be reminded that safety is a shared responsibility. Firefighters will be here, ready to respond. But we, as a community, must continue to support them, respect their work, and take proactive steps toward fire prevention and emergency preparedness,” he said.

Madam Daniella Mawusi Ntow-Sarpong, in her address, emphasised that the investment by The Church of Pentecost is a significant contribution to the safety and wellbeing of citizens and will greatly enhance the operational efficiency of the GNFS in the Gomoa enclave and beyond.

The acting Chief Fire Officer of GNFS stated: “For the first time in our history, a religious organisation has built and handed over a fully functional fire station to the Ghana National Fire Service,” Madam Ntow-Sarpong noted. “This facility is not only beautiful but meets high operational standards, and it is a testament to what faith-based institutions can contribute to national development.”

 “This fire station brings us closer to the people we serve. It is a demonstration of how partnerships between public service and faith-based institutions can positively impact the entire nation,” she further stated.

FORMER GENERAL SECRETARY AND WIFE DONATE VEHICLE TO ABURA GYABANKROM DISTRICT web

Former General Secretary And Wife Donate Vehicle To Abura Gyabankrom District

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Apostle Albert Amoah (Retired), a former General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, together with his wife, Justice Julia Adjei Amoah (Retired High Court Judge and currently the Chief of Staff at the Ga Mantse’s Palace in Accra), has donated a KIA Sportage vehicle valued at GH₵150,000.00 to the Abura Gyabankrom District of the Church.

The donation was made on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, during a brief but significant presentation ceremony held at the couple’s residence in Abura Egotsia Kokodo, Apostle Amoah’s hometown in the Central Region.

Presenting the keys, Apostle Amoah expressed profound gratitude to God for His grace and provision, even in retirement. He emphasised that the gesture was a way of supporting the work of God in the District. He also encouraged the users of the vehicle to take good care of it and prayed that the purpose of the donation would be fully realised to the glory of God.

Receiving the keys on behalf of the Church, the Mankessim Area Head, Apostle Isaac Kofi Annan, thanked God and the donors for the timely and generous gesture. After inspecting the vehicle and praying over it, he handed it over to the District Minister, Overseer Bismark Bekoe, who also expressed heartfelt appreciation to the couple.

This donation comes as a major boost to the Abura Gyabankrom District, which has existed since 2001 without a dedicated vehicle. Earlier this year, in February 2025, the District had attempted to raise funds for the purchase of a vehicle through offerings, but the amount raised fell far short.

The unexpected gift from Apostle Albert and Justice Julia Adjei Amoah (Retired) has therefore brought great joy and relief to the leadership and members of the District.

Watch Yourselves - Apostle Samuel Oboubi Admonishes Christians web

Watch Yourselves – Apostle Samuel Obuobi Admonishes Christians

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has urged all Christians to be watchful in their walk with Christ so they do not fall prey to the schemes of the evil one.

He gave this admonition on Sunday, May 11, 2025, during a sermon at the Dar es Salaam Worship Centre in the Haatso Area of the Church.

Preaching from 2 John 7-8 on spiritual vigilance, Apostle Obuobi warned that “we must be careful in our actions, speech and doctrine so that we do not lose what we have worked for, but rather receive our full reward.”

Using the cautionary tale of Samson from Judges 16, the General Secretary illustrated how even the strongest can fall when they let down their guard. “Samson lost everything—his strength, his vision, and his freedom—because he failed to watch himself,” he said.

He further warned of modern-day deception, referencing 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, where Satan is described as disguising himself as “an angel of light.” “The enemy doesn’t always come looking dangerous,” he cautioned. “He often comes looking like everything you’ve ever wanted. That’s why we need constant discernment.”

According to him, any Christian who does not open his or her eyes very well and be watchful, might fall prey to this deception and lose his or her possessions in Christ. “The enemy doesn’t come looking dangerous,” he cautioned. “He comes as everything you’ve ever wanted. That’s why we need constant discernment.” 

Apostle Obuobi stressed that Christians who are not alert risk losing their spiritual inheritance. He added that failure to stay watchful can lead to a loss of one’s testimony, which negatively impacts the Church’s Possessing the Nations agenda.

Ending his message, Apostle Obuobi reminded believers of their divine helper in this spiritual battle, who is the Holy Spirit, adding that, when believers yield to Him daily, He gives them the strength to overcome every trap and temptation.

THE COP INVESTS OVER GHS 17 MILLION IN MEMBERS’ EDUCATION web

The COP Invests Over GHS 17 Million In Members’ Education

by with No Comment Church NewsPENTSOSTop Stories

The Church of Pentecost (CoP) invested an impressive GHS 17,186,903.75 in 2024 to support the educational aspirations of its members at various levels.

This was announced by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, during the 2024 State of the Church Address (SOCA 2024), delivered at the opening of the 47th General Council Meeting held on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh.

Apostle Nyamekye explained that this substantial investment was the result of collaborative efforts by the Church’s Districts, Areas, Ministries, and the Headquarters, all united in a shared commitment to empower members through education.

He disclosed that GHS 957,535.66 was disbursed under the Pentecost Education Scholarship Scheme (PESS) at the Headquarters level. These funds provided full scholarships—including tuition and accommodation—for tertiary students studying outside Pentecost University.

In addition, the Church allocated GHS 1,810,813.40 to support members undertaking apprenticeship training programmes, equipping them with valuable skills to build sustainable livelihoods.

The Church’s educational intervention complements government efforts by absorbing the cost of education for several students and helping to bridge funding gaps that often prevent needy but brilliant students from progressing, especially at the tertiary level.

Ghana Statistical Service data indicates that nearly 1.9 million youth aged 15 to 35 are currently not in education, employment, or training (NEET), while others face financial obstacles to completing higher education. The Church’s efforts, therefore, provide a timely and targeted intervention with long-term benefits for the country’s socioeconomic development.

It is worth noting that this intervention remains quite significant as it comes at a time when Ghana continues to grapple with youth unemployment, high dropout rates, and access challenges—despite progress under the Free SHS policy.

The Chairman also highlighted the Church’s unwavering commitment to improving healthcare. In 2024, a total of GHS 10,729,795.98 was invested to address the healthcare needs of members across all levels of the Church.

Significant healthcare infrastructure projects were completed during the year. These included the operationalisation of the Abesewa Clinic in the Abuakwa Area and the donation of a fully equipped CHPS compound to the Ghana Health Service by PIWC Graceland in the Teshie-Nungua Area, which now serves the Ayetsekope community.

“It is also gratifying to note that the newly constructed Pentecost Clinic at Teshie Praso has been officially registered under the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) and is now fully operational,” Apostle Nyamekye added.

Beyond education and health, the Church’s social impact was also felt in the area of water accessibility. Over the past five years, The Church of Pentecost has constructed 239 water facilities in rural communities across Ghana, providing clean water to more than 110,000 people who previously lacked easy access to this essential resource.

The Chairman acknowledged the role of Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS), the Church’s social intervention wing, in driving these life-changing projects. He noted that their efforts have significantly advanced Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which advocates universal access to safe and affordable drinking water and sanitation.

“In the last year alone, 35 boreholes were drilled—34 of them mechanised and one fitted with a hand pump,” he reported. “This brings the total number of water facilities provided between 2019 and 2024 to 239, all aimed at transforming lives in deprived communities.”

Through these strategic investments in education, healthcare, and water provision, The Church of Pentecost continues to affirm its commitment to holistic ministry—meeting both the spiritual and practical needs of its members and communities nationwide.

The Church Of Pentecost Spends GHS 10.7 Million On Members’ Healthcare

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Church of Pentecost invested a total of GHS 10,729,795.98 in 2024 to support the healthcare needs of its members across various levels of the Church.

This was disclosed by the Chairman, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, during the 2024 State of the Church Address (SOCA 2024), delivered at the opening session of the 47th General Council Meetings held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

In his address, Apostle Nyamekye also highlighted key healthcare infrastructure projects undertaken during the year. Notably, the Abesewa Clinic in the Abuakwa Area became operational, and the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) Graceland in the Teshie-Nungua Area donated a fully equipped CHPS compound to the Ghana Health Service, benefiting the Ayetsekope community.

“It is also gratifying to note that the newly constructed Pentecost Clinic at Teshie Praso has been officially registered under the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) as a recognised healthcare facility and is now fully operational,” he added.

The Chairman further noted several ongoing healthcare projects. These include new facilities under construction at Ohene Nkwanta (Konongo Area), Kumbangre (Bolga Area), and Asuadei (Abuakwa Area). Feasibility studies are also underway for clinics at Dwarf Island (Afram Plains Area), Pesator (Effiduase Area), and Dawusasu (Ashanti Bekwai Area). A specialist hospital is also being constructed in Accra, which is expected to set new standards for healthcare delivery in the country.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become leading causes of death in Ghana, responsible for 43% of all deaths and accounting for about 94,000 preventable deaths annually.

Given these challenges, The Church of Pentecost’s healthcare initiatives, including the construction of clinics and support for members’ medical needs, play a crucial role in supplementing national efforts to improve healthcare access and outcomes, particularly in deprived communities.

In addition to healthcare, the Church invested GHS 17,186,903.75 in educational sponsorships during the year to support members pursuing studies at various levels.

According to Apostle Nyamekye, this investment was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Church’s Districts, Areas, Ministries, and Headquarters.

At the national level, GHS 957,535.66 was disbursed through the Pentecost Education Scholarship Scheme (PESS) to provide full scholarships—including tuition and accommodation—for tertiary students studying outside Pentecost University.

Furthermore, an additional GHS 1,810,813.40 was used to support members enrolled in apprenticeship training programmes.

The Chairman also highlighted the Church’s ongoing efforts to improve access to clean drinking water in rural communities. Over the past five years, The Church of Pentecost has provided 239 water facilities across Ghana, benefiting more than 110,000 individuals who previously had to travel long distances for potable water.

He emphasised that the Church’s social intervention arm, Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS), has intensified its efforts in this area, contributing significantly to the attainment of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which advocates universal access to safe water and sanitation.

“In the past year alone, 35 boreholes were drilled—34 of them mechanised systems and one equipped with a hand pump. This brings the total number of water facilities provided between 2019 and 2024 to 239,” Apostle Nyamekye stated.

Through these impactful initiatives, The Church of Pentecost continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to meeting both the spiritual and physical needs of communities across Ghana.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has, on behalf of the entire membership of the church, commended seven members of the Executive Council of the church for their devoted service to God and the church, as their terms of service come to an end this year.

The seven, popularly described as the ‘7 Great,’ have been on the Council, which is responsible for the administration of The Church of Pentecost, for various years. They are Apostles Yaw Adjei-Kwarteng, Samuel Osei Asante, and Isaac Nii Kotei Djani, all serving for 10 years.

The rest are Apostles Sylvester Arhin, Dr. Dela Quampah, Sundaram James Raj, and Mike Etrue, all serving for 5 years, respectively.

Paying a heartfelt tribute to the seven during the State of the Church Address at the 47th Session of the General Council Meeting held at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh, on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Apostle Nyamekye commended them for their distinguished service to the church and prayed to God to reward them bountifully.

‘You will agree that they have served selflessly and faithfully throughout their years on the Executive Council,’ the Chairman said, as the crowd gave them a standing ovation with a resounding round of applause.

By virtue of the expiration of their terms of service, another set of seven experienced ministers, mainly  Apostles and Prophets, will be elected on Thursday, May 1, to replace them.

Functions of the Executive Council

The 15-member Executive Council of The Church of Pentecost is responsible for implementing policies and decisions of the General Council. Also, in cases of emergency, the Executive Council may act for and on behalf of the General Council and report to the same for ratification of its decisions.

As part of its functions, it is responsible for callings, upgradings, appointments, revocations, dismissals, impeachments, transfers, and retirement of ministers and national office holders of the church.

The term of office for Executive Council members is five years. Members of the Executive Council may be re-elected for further terms.
