The Church of Pentecost, Sabuli District in the Wa Area, has made a remarkable step toward community transformation with a donation to the Sabuli Junior High School on Friday, October 24, 2025, as part of the Sabuli Community Development and Transformation Project (SCDTP) – a Vision 2028-driven initiative.

In his address to the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) executives, school heads, and community leaders, the District Minister, Probationary Overseer Ebenezer Enyinful, explained that the gesture was inspired by the Church’s overarching vision: “Unleashing the Whole Church to Transform Their World with the Values and Principles of the Kingdom of God.”

Quoting Matthew 25:32–40, he reminded the gathering that the righteous are called to reflect God’s love through good works; feeding the hungry, clothing the needy, and showing compassion. Drawing further from Acts 10:38, he noted that Jesus, anointed by the Holy Spirit, “went about doing good,” a model the Sabuli District seeks to emulate by demonstrating love through tangible community impact.

The donation package included exercise books, notebooks, Integrated Science and Mathematics past questions, rulers, mathematical sets, erasers, pens, and Bibles. Each Junior High School student received five exercise books and a Bible, while JHS 3 learners received additional study materials, including mathematical sets and notebooks.

The outreach formed part of the 2025 Youth Week Celebration themed “Unleashed to Go and Tell.” During the visit, members of the Church shared the gospel message with the students, resulting in 48 learners accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Probationary Overseer Enyinful emphasized that while soul-winning remains the Church’s core mandate, holistic transformation through education and moral empowerment is equally vital.

As part of its broader educational support, the Sabuli District runs two ongoing initiatives – the Sabuli Children’s Club(Saturdays at 3:30 p.m.) and a Free Mathematics Tutorial Class for JHS 3 students (Sundays at 3:30 p.m.), both held at the Church’s Mission House.

Probationary Overseer Enyinful expressed gratitude to Apostle B.A.M and Mrs. Vida Abogorago, Wa Area Head and wife, for their counsel and support, as well as to the Ghana Education Service, local authorities, and community stakeholders for partnering in this noble cause.

The SCDTP is scheduled for official launch in November 2025 at the Sabuli Central Assembly. The District Minister encouraged parents to collaborate with the Church and other partners in nurturing the next generation through love, discipline, and education.

He concluded that the act of kindness would inspire academic diligence among the students while strengthening community bonds, advancing the shared vision of developing Sabuli to the glory of God.

The Achimota District of The Church of Pentecost has held a special retirement service to celebrate sixteen dedicated officers who have served the Lord faithfully over the years. The event took place on Sunday, October 19, 2025, at the Achimota Central Auditorium and was marked by gratitude, reflection, and joy.

Delivering a stirring sermon on the theme “Heaven Never Forgets” (Hebrews 6:10), the Achimota Area Head, Apostle Joseph Danzerl, encouraged both the retirees and the congregation not to be disheartened when their labour seems unnoticed by men. “For God is not unjust to forget your work and labour of love,” he reminded them, emphasising that though the world may quickly forget, “God’s memory doesn’t work like that – He never forgets.”

Using biblical examples, Apostle Danzerl explained that divine remembrance always leads to divine action. “God remembered Noah after the flood (Genesis 8:1), Hannah in her barrenness (1 Samuel 1:19), and Israel in their affliction (Exodus 2:24). When God remembers, He intervenes,” he stated. He added that heaven records every act of service, whether preaching, cleaning, giving, or praying, and that service rendered in love carries eternal value. “Service is worship, not a transaction,” he said, urging believers to serve with sincerity and eternity in view.

Addressing the retirees directly, Apostle Danzerl encouraged them to see retirement not as an end but as a new phase of ministry. “You are retiring, but you are not finished,” he said. “As long as you have breath, there is still work to do in God’s vineyard; through mentorship, intercession, and counselling.” He concluded with a touching reminder: “In a world quick to forget, always remember that Heaven never forgets. Every tear, prayer, and act of love is eternally remembered by God.”

The Achimota District honoured six Elders, one Deacon, and nine Deaconesses, acknowledging their devotion and selfless service, which have contributed significantly to the growth and mission of the Church. The service featured moments of celebration, testimonies, and expressions of heartfelt appreciation.

In attendance were Apostle Retired Joseph Assabil, Mrs. Dorcas Danzerl (wife of the Area Head), Pastor Gabriel and Mrs. Joyce Siaw (Achimota District Pastor and wife), as well as ministers and their spouses from across the Achimota Area.

The Sefwi Wiawso Area of The Church of Pentecost has organized a practical skills training for its Area Media Team to enhance their competence in church media production, videography, photography, and digital communication.

The training session, held at the PIWC auditorium in Sefwi Wiawso in September 2025, was aimed at equipping media personnel with the tools and knowledge necessary to strengthen the church’s evangelistic and publicity efforts.

Delivering the keynote address, the Sefwi Wiawso Area Head, Apostle Samuel Edzii Davidson, underscored the indispensable role of media in advancing the mission of the Church. “Media is the voice of ministry,” he declared, emphasising that the media ministry, like John the Baptist in Luke 3:4, is called to prepare the way for the Lord’s work and to amplify the gospel’s reach.

He encouraged the team to be intentional, creative, and innovative in using modern media tools and platforms to project the activities and messages of the Church beyond its physical walls. “The media ministry must serve as a channel through which Jesus Christ is revealed to the world,” he said, urging the team to ensure that all content is approved by the appropriate authority before publication.

Drawing parallels from the ministry of John the Baptist, Apostle Davidson explained that the Media Team’s work plays a vital role in preparing hearts and minds for divine encounters. “Just as John’s ministry ushered in the manifestation of Jesus, your work as media personnel can pave the way for the manifestation of God’s glory in the lives of many,” he noted.

The training brought together 47 participants, who were each awarded certificates of participation. Participants expressed profound gratitude to the Area leadership for organizing such an impactful initiative and appealed for its regular continuation to keep pace with emerging trends in church media practice.

Present at the event were Pastors Francis Atsuvia, Godwin Worlase Kondjah, Brown Boakye Yiadom, Matthew Sedeka, and Overseers Prince Ofori and Stephen Benle, who commended the participants for their commitment to the ministry.

Elder Nanabanyin Barnes and his family, members of the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Manchester, United Kingdom, have constructed and donated a fully furnished church building valued at GHS 165,080.00 to the Seripe Assembly in the Sakpa District of the Sawla Area.

The building, which replaces the church’s former mud structure, was dedicated on Friday, October 10, 2025, in a colourful ceremony attended by the benefactor, Elder Nanabanyin Barnes, ministers of the Church, traditional leaders, and members of the community.

The Sawla Area Head, Apostle Frederick Obboh, assisted by the Sakpa District Minister, Overseer Solomon Dzitse, dedicated the new church building on behalf of the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye.

Delivering a sermon on the theme “Do Not Leave Jerusalem,” Pastor Godfred Osei-Frimpong, Bole District Minister, admonished Christians to remain steadfast in Christ and in the Church, drawing lessons from 1 Kings 2, Acts 1:4, and Luke 10:30. He emphasised that staying connected to Christ and the Church brings salvation, protection, empowerment, and blessing, while straying exposes believers to spiritual danger.

The dedication service attracted several dignitaries, including Mrs. Joana Mina Obboh (wife of the Area Head), and ministers from various districts. Also in attendance were the Chief of Seripe (Seripewura) and other traditional leaders.

In appreciation, Apostle Obboh led the congregation in a prayer of blessing for Elder Barnes and his family for their remarkable act of generosity.

Expressing gratitude on behalf of the Church, Overseer Dzitse thanked Apostle and Mrs. Obboh, Elder Barnes, and his family for their support, describing the donation as a major answer to prayer and a lasting legacy that has provided the Seripe Assembly with a befitting place of worship after years of meeting under trees and in a temporary structure.

The Other Sheep Ministry of The Church of Pentecost held a three-day Capacity-Building Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Brofoyedru, in the Kwadaso Area from October 1 to 3, 2025. The conference was crowned with a gospel outreach at Kotwi Township, which, by the grace of God, yielded 138 souls for the Lord.

The “Go Ye” Team of the Other Sheep Ministry from Accra arrived at PCC-Brofoyedru on October 1, 2025, and, together with the Kwadaso Area team, engaged in an intense prayer session to prepare spiritually for the programme.

On the second day, the National Coordinator of the Ministry, Evangelist Abraham Addae Agyemang, expounded on the vision, mission, core functions, and strategic plan of the Other Sheep Ministry. Drawing insights from Luke 10:16–20, he reminded participants that “Jesus is with us even as He sends us. He is the only One who sends and yet accompanies the sent.”

He further explained that those whom Jesus sent to evangelize returned rejoicing because even demonic spirits submitted to them. “Jesus, who was with them, also said He saw Satan fall like lightning,” he stated. Evangelist Agyemang encouraged believers to rejoice, not merely in miracles, but because their names are written in the Book of Life. He also urged the participants to walk in obedience to Christ’s command to “heal the sick and raise the dead” as they go about soul-winning.

The National Secretary of the Ministry, Pastor Daniel Gyekye, facilitated a session on how to practically share the gospel with people of other faiths. Pastor Isaac Dome also equipped participants with the One-Minute Witness approach to gospel presentation.

In addition, Pastor Simon Dorsonu, the Kwadaso Area Coordinator, and Pastor Luke Nemen Sei, a member of the National Executive Committee (NEC), led participants in intensive intercessory prayers to prepare the spiritual atmosphere for evangelism.

On the final day, participants were divided into ten teams of seven members each and deployed into the Kotwi community to proclaim the gospel. To the glory of God, their efforts resulted in the salvation of 138 souls.
