PENTSOS Launches Plastic Waste Recycling Project In Pentecost Schools

In an effort to address the growing concern about plastic waste and promote environmental consciousness among young students, Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS) has launched the Plastic Waste Recycling Project in all Pentecost schools.

The initiative was launched today by the PENTSOS Director, Elder Richard Amaning, during a grand durbar organised by The Church of Pentecost in partnership with PENTSOS and Zoomlion Ghana Limited at the Pentecost Preparatory School (PPS), Madina.

Recognising the importance of educating the younger generation about the impact of plastic on the environment, PENTSOS aims to equip pupils with the knowledge and skills needed to contribute to reducing, reusing, and recycling plastics. The relaunch of the Plastic Waste Project in Pentecost Schools was a significant step towards achieving this goal.

As part of the project, some students visited the Universal Plastic Products Recycling (UPPR) facility, where they witnessed firsthand the process of recycling plastics.

This practical experience aims to deepen their understanding and foster a sense of responsibility towards environmental conservation.

The launch of the Plastic Waste Project in Pentecost Schools coincided with the World Environment Day celebration, which served as a reminder of the collective responsibility to protect the environment.

The Plastic Waste Project in Pentecost Schools is expected to be crucial in nurturing environmentally conscious citizens from a young age. By equipping students with the necessary knowledge and practical experiences, PENTSOS aims to create a generation that understands the importance of responsible waste management and actively participates in reducing, reusing, and recycling plastics.

As the Plastic Waste Project takes flight in Pentecost Schools, it is hoped that the collaboration between PENTSOS, educational institutions, and waste management companies will set a positive example for other schools and communities to follow.

The launch of this project marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a plastic waste-free society, as PENTSOS and its partners work hand in hand to instil a sense of environmental stewardship in the hearts and minds of young students.

The World Environment Day durbar, which took place at the premises of the Pentecost Preparatory School (PPS), Madina, also had in attendance Apostle Samuel Gakpetor (National Coordinator for Environmental Care Campaign and Agormanya Area Head) and Mr. Jephthah Tetteh (Communications and Corporate Affairs Officer at Zoomlion Ghana Limited).

Some ministers of the Church, representatives from PENTSOS and Zoomlion Ghana Limited, as well as dedicated staff and teachers from PPS-Madina, PPS-Ashaiman, PPS-Bubiashie, and PPS-Tema, also participated in the event.

Chieftaincy Minister Urges Christians and Other Religious Groups to Embrace Unity web

Chieftaincy Minister Urges Christians and Other Religious Groups to Embrace Unity

Honorable Stephen Asamoah Boateng, the Minister for Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, has called for unity among Christians and other religious factions.

During his fellowship with Apostle Eric Nyamekye, the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Hon. Asamoah Boateng emphasized the significance of peaceful coexistence, transcending race, status, and religious differences that may exist within worship communities.

Addressing a congregation at the Dr Thomas Wyatt Temple of The Church of Pentecost in Accra Newtown on Sunday, June 4, 2023, Hon. Asamoah Boateng highlighted the importance of living harmoniously and worshiping as one people, while respecting the traditions of their land. He expressed that this unity is what God desires from His followers.

Accompanying the delegation from the Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs Ministry were Mr. Jojo Blankson (Special Aide), Mr. Richard Obeng Boafo (Acting Director, Religious Affairs), Mrs. Christiana Oppong (Programmes Officer), and Aiysha Ganiyo (Special Assistant to the Minister).

Hon. Asamoah Boateng emphasized the crucial link between peace and national development, emphasizing the shared responsibility of both the government and citizens in achieving progress. He explained that while the government has its own set of responsibilities, it is essential for everyone to contribute to the nation’s growth. He, therefore, called for patience as the government works to recover from the economic crisis, cautioning against putting excessive pressure on the government as it may have adverse consequences.

The Minister expressed gratitude to The Church of Pentecost for their fervent prayers and unwavering support through various Chaplaincy initiatives carried out by the Church.

Addressing Chieftaincy matters, the sector minister highlighted the need for the recognition of queen mothers in the Chieftaincy Act. He noted that over 70% of disputes in the country stem from Chieftaincy matters, and the inclusion of queen mothers in the Act would enable them to play a significant role in conflict resolution. He emphasized the importance of addressing the root causes of conflicts, often arising from bitterness among chiefs and their subjects.

Hon. Asamoah Boateng called for a change of heart and a deeper understanding among the people, as these factors significantly impact their way of life.

In response, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, emphasized the need for Christians to exemplify the character of Christ and reflect His glory in all aspects of their lives. He encouraged Christians to strive to live according to the teachings of Christ, promoting peace and harmony without bitterness.

The service was attended by community leaders, including Elder Dr. Nana Amo Tobin (CEO. Tobinco Group of Companies & Chief of Apinto Traditional Area), Nana Oppong Agyei Sikapa (Krontihene of Kumawu Temante), Nii Kpowulunor III (Kokomlemle Family Head), Nii Tettey Oboni Onamonsro II (Kokomlemle Mantse), Naa Dede Awula I (Kokomlemle Manye), Nii Tetteh Adjabeng II (Adabraka Mantse), Naa Oforiwaa Danso I (Akutuase Dzaase Manye), Nii Kpani Addy Addy (Kokomlemle Okyeame), and Benjamin Tettey Addy (Kokomlemle Stool Secretary).

Others included Nana Asampomaa Asensema II (Paramount Queen Apesokubi Traditional Area), Nana Ofori Asiama (Kroti Hene of Apesokubi Anyinasin), Nana Ofori Asiama (Kroti Hene of Apesokubi Anyinasin), Nana Obrim Apreko (Kroti Hemaa of Tepa Traditional Area), Nana Addobea (Nkoso Hemaa of Apesokubi), Nana Ama Kintinki (Adonten Hemaa of Pampawe Amanta), Nana Abena Frempomaa (Asante Mampong Oboben Hemaa), Naa Adese Omanye Sane III (Okpoigonno Manye), Nii Abiriw Anum (Anum-Teiman Seitse), Naa Dede Awura (Kokomlemle Akrade Manye), Nana Kofi Akuma V (Edwumako Mando Obaatan).

Plastic Waste Challenge Is Not Insurmountable web

Plastic Waste Challenge Is Not Insurmountable – Apostle Samuel Gakpetor

The National Coordinator for the Environmental Care Campaign and the Agormanya Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Kojo Gakpetor, has said that the challenge with the disposal and management of plastic wastes in Ghana is not insurmountable but requires a concerted effort.

Delivering the keynote address at the grand durbar organised by The Church of Pentecost in partnership with the Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS) and Zoomlion Ghana Limited to commemorate this year’s World Environment Day, Apostle Gakpetor said: “We can change the narrative of the perennial flooding, dirty environment, choked gutters, degradation of land and ocean if we decide to devote concerted efforts.”

The Agormanya Area Head highlighted the economic repercussions of inadequate plastic waste management, including the high costs of clean-up operations, litter removal, repair and replacement of damaged fishing gear, reduced fishing catches, and a decline in coastal tourism.

He further drew attention to the environmental pollution caused by the open burning of plastics, releasing poisonous chemicals into the atmosphere and negatively affecting the health of humans and animals.

To overcome the plastic waste menace, Apostle Gakpetor stressed the importance of collaboration and collective effort by all stakeholders in dealing with the problem.

“We call on all governments and related ministries and agencies, churches, traditional rulers, waste management companies, as well as all other stakeholders to engage on how to deal with this menace. We should not just pay lip service to the World Environment Day but use the day to continue to raise awareness of the need to care for the Environment,” he said.

Apostle Gakpetor urged individuals to be responsible citizens and dispose of waste properly in bins with fitted covers.  

He also called for the need for education on waste disposal and the need for segregation of waste at home, school, etc., especially as segregated plastics are in high demand by recycling companies.

The Agormanya Area Head further noted that The Church of Pentecost had taken proactive steps to address the plastic waste challenge, including Plastic Waste Recycling Project, which has now been launched in the various Pentecost schools.

He said the project, among others, aims to equip students with knowledge about the impact of plastics on the environment and encourage them to contribute to plastic reuse, reduction, and recycling efforts.

The World Environment Day durbar marked the first time The Church of Pentecost celebrated this significant international day for the environment. The event, which took place at the premises of the Pentecost Preparatory School (PPS), Madina, also had in attendance Elder Richard Amaning (PENTSOS Director) and Mr. Jephthah Tetteh (Communications and Corporate Affairs Officer at Zoomlion Ghana Limited).

Some ministers of the Church, representatives from PENTSOS and Zoomlion Ghana Limited, as well as dedicated staff and teachers from PPS-Madina, PPS-Ashaiman, PPS-Bubiashie, and PPS-Tema, also participated in the event.

Involve Children In Fighting Plastic Pollution – PENTSOS Director Calls

The Director of Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS), the social services wing of The Church of Pentecost, Elder Richard Amaning, has stressed the need to involve children in Ghana’s fight against plastic waste.

According to the PENTSOS Director, children are the best resources for environmental campaigns because they are both the plastics users and agents that can help fight plastic pollution in Ghana.

“The role of children, especially students, cannot be ignored in the plastic pollution campaign. They are instrumental and can be good agents of transformation,” he said.

Elder Amaning said during an address at the 2023 World Environmental Day held at the Pentecost Preparatory School (PPL), Madina Estate, Accra, on Monday, June 5, 2023.

The event, organised by The Church of Pentecost in collaboration with PENTSOS and Zoomlion Ghana Limited, was attended by students from the Pentecost Schools in Tema, Ashaiman, Bubiashie, and Madina.

The ceremony, which was chaired by Apostle Samuel Gakpetor (Agormanya Area Head and National Chairman of the National Discipleship and Leadership Development Committee – NDLC), was also attended by members of the Environmental Care Committee, Ministers of the Church, Representatives from Zoomlion and Universal Plastic Products Recycling (UPPR), among others.

In his welcome address, Elder Amaning expressed his gratitude to the Executive Council of The Church of Pentecost for its support in making the programme possible.

He noted that the Day held under the theme, “Beat Plastic Pollution,” focused on reducing plastic pollution globally and encouraging plastic reuse and recycling.

The World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5 by the United Nations.

World Environment Day 2023 is a reminder that people’s actions on plastic pollution matter. The steps governments and businesses are taking to tackle plastic pollution are the consequence of this action.

The 2023 World Environment Day campaign #BeatPlasticPollution calls for global solutions to combat plastic pollution.

Anyaa-Ablekuma Area Launches COPCEFweb

Anyaa-Ablekuma Area Launches COPCEF

The Anyaa-Ablekuma Area of The Church of Pentecost under the leadership of Apostle William Ohemeng-Kwakye, officially launched The Church of Pentecost Chairman’s Education Foundation (CoPCEF).

The event, held on Sunday, May 28, 2023, was attended by the Area pastorate and delegates from Pentecost University, including Vice Chancellor Apostle Professor Kwabena Agyapong-Kodua.

COPCEF is an education-support fund instituted at Pentecost University by the Church’s Chairman, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, to assist needy but brilliant students.

In addition to providing internal scholarships, the foundation also supports Pentecost University’s infrastructure and staff development, contributing to the University’s ambition of becoming the university of choice in Africa and the world.

The launch ceremony aimed to raise awareness about COPCEF and encourage members of the Church to support the foundation.

In his welcome address, Apostle William Ohemeng-Kwakye commended the Church’s efforts to provide educational support to deserving students, even with limited resources, through various scholarship avenues such as COPCEF.

He highlighted that the foundation, which is a substantial scholarship fund managed by Pentecost University, is available to all brilliant but needy students at the University.

Apostle William Ohemeng-Kwakye also took the opportunity to outline the various educational scholarships offered by the Church.

Firstly, he mentioned the Pentecost Educational Scholarship Scheme (PESS), which is funded by the Church’s Headquarters. This scholarship is awarded annually to brilliant but needy members of The Church of Pentecost, with one student per area selected, depending on the availability of funds. Nationwide, over seventy (70) students are selected each year.

Another scholarship opportunity available to Church members is the Pentecost University (PU) Scholarship. Each area is required to contribute a percentage of its Internally Generated Funds (IGF) to sponsor bright but financially disadvantaged students to attend Pentecost University. The number of students sponsored per area depends on the IGF generated by that area.

It is noteworthy that the financial strength of a particular area determines the number of students selected for each academic year.

In addition to these scholarships, Apostle William Ohemeng-Kwakye mentioned that districts, local assemblies, and individual church members also provide scholarships or financial support to deserving students within their respective areas, depending on the availability of funds at each level of the church structure.

Apart from these avenues, the Area Head mentioned that there are also benevolent individuals who support the education of needy church members.

Apostle Ohemeng-Kwakye highlighted the significant progress achieved in the past four years since the inception of these educational interventions.

He expressed his delight in the church’s commitment to educational support.

“During the recent 46th session of the General Council Meeting held at Pentecost Convention Centre in Fetteh, the Chairman disclosed the success of the church’s educational support initiative,” he stated.

He added that “In 2022, the various districts, areas, and ministries in Ghana, along with the Headquarters, spent GHȼ10,686,084.76 to sponsor the educational pursuits of church members at various levels. This included GHȼ863,443.64 spent under the Headquarters’ sponsored Pentecost Education Scholarship Scheme (PESS) for tertiary students outside Pentecost University.”

Focusing on the Anyaa-Ablekuma Area, Apostle William Ohemeng-Kwakye emphasized that despite the numerous financial challenges faced by the area, it continues to support the educational pursuits of its members.

Currently, the area provides full scholarships to 21 students, with eight of them being enrolled just this year.

Empowering the Future -Grounding the Youth in Christ for Maximum Impact web

Empowering The Future: Grounding The Youth In Christ For Maximum Impact

For the Church to significantly impact today’s ever-changing world, we must establish a strong foundation of faith in the younger generation. These young individuals hold the key to the Church’s future and play an integral role in its present state. We must invest heavily in their spiritual growth and development. This article will draw inspiration from three powerful scriptures—Colossians 2:6, John 14:12, and Ephesians 4:11-13—to explain why grounding our youth in Christ is paramount.

The first scripture, Colossians 2:6, emphasises the importance of a solid foundation for young believers who may face challenging temptations along their spiritual journey. By establishing themselves in Christ, they can withstand the allure of worldly distractions. The second scripture, John 14:12, reassures believers that regardless of age or experience, everyone has incredible potential when grounded in Christ. Lastly, Ephesians 4:11-13 offers guidance on how leaders should equip young Christians, investing their time to nurture their spiritual journey and active participation in the body of Christ. Therefore, we must support our youth by investing our time, resources, and prayers to firmly establish them in the teachings of Christ, enabling them to make a lasting impact for God’s glory.

Grounding the youth in Christ is essential for their spiritual growth and development. The world presents numerous temptations that can lead young people astray from their faith, promoting materialism and selfishness. However, when they have a firm foundation rooted in faith, they gain the strength and guidance needed to navigate life’s challenges. Psalm 119:9-11 highlights the significance of anchoring oneself in God’s Word to keep one’s way pure. By instilling these values early on through Christian education programs, church camps, or retreats, we equip youngsters with the mental, emotional, and spiritual preparedness required to remain on the righteous path. Children must grow up with a deep understanding of Christianity, enabling them to make wise decisions guided by biblical teachings rather than succumbing to worldly pressures alone.

Nurturing the spiritual growth of young individuals is crucial for their future success and well-being. By establishing an unwavering reliance on Christ, they are empowered to fulfil their God-given purpose and leave a lasting impact in their respective domains. John 14:1 exemplifies the importance of cultivating Christian principles and constructing a solid foundation based on biblical tenets, equipping them with the skills necessary to overcome life’s obstacles with wisdom and authenticity.

Research conducted by the Barna Group shows that adolescents who regularly participate in religious activities exhibit positive conduct, including integrity, empathy, and self-control. This underscores the need for guardians and educators to prioritise nurturing one’s spirit alongside academic accomplishments when raising young people. Investing time and resources into programs such as Sunday school or youth groups can profoundly impact individual lives and society through the transformative power of renewed hearts and minds.

Proverbs 22:6 states, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.” Ephesians 4:11-13 provides a clear and concise plan for the church to nurture young Christians. This passage emphasises the role of pastors and educators in preparing “the saints for the work of ministry” (Ephesians 4:12). By investing in the spiritual growth of our youth, we not only facilitate the individual spiritual growth but also contribute to the overall development and maturity of the body of Christ.

As we guide our youth toward spiritual maturity through instruction, guidance, and discipleship, we must recognise that each person’s journey will be unique. Our approach should accommodate their needs while considering the “unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God” mentioned in Ephesians 4:13. By intentionally and purposefully investing in youth ministry according to these scriptural guidelines, we can cultivate future generations poised to continue great works for God’s kingdom.

In conclusion, the church must instil a sense of devotion to Christ in the younger generation. By dedicating time, energy, and prayers to guide them on their spiritual journey, we allow them to flourish and positively influence their surroundings. The significance of this mission is reinforced by Colossians 2:6, John 14:12, and Ephesians 4:11-13, scriptures that urge us to provide young believers with a strong foundation in Jesus and equip them with practical skills necessary to fulfil God’s purpose. Ephesians 4:11-13 offers clear direction on how church leaders should ground the youth in Christ, with their specific roles involving coaching and preparing believers for service.

Therefore, let us remember that Christians have greater responsibilities beyond personal salvation. We must empower future generations who will carry God’s message forward. I encourage each of you to diligently pursue this significant task so that we can make a maximum impact by glorifying Him.

Always Yearn To Hear God Speak web

Always Yearn To Hear God Speak – Apostle Etrue Tells Church Leaders

The Koforidua Area Head and Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Mike Etrue, has urged Christians, especially Church leaders, to make it a priority to always hear and obey God’s voice in their Christian ministry.

Apostle Etrue said this when he delivered a sermon on the topic, “Hearing the Lord Speak in Your Ministry,” during an ordination service organised by the Effiduase Area at the Begoro District Central Assembly auditorium last Thursday.

Using Ephesians 4:11-12, Genesis 3:8, Jeremiah 33:1-3, 1 Corinthians 2:9-12, 1 Corinthians 14:1, Matthew 5:6, and Psalm 107:9, as scripture references, the Koforidua Area Head said that God still speaks, and often uses the people He has placed in one’s  life to communicate with them.

He explained that both “Logos” and “Rhema” are the Word of God, but the former refers to God’s Word objectively recorded in the Bible, while the latter is the word of God spoken to us on specific occasions.

“The voice of God ought to be known, understood, and obeyed,” he emphasised.

He added that those who disobey the voice of God will be led astray, but obedience to the voice of God brings peace, blessings, fruitfulness, and prosperity.

Apostle Mike Etrue, therefore, advised Church leaders to lead their flocks in obedience to the will of God.

He reiterated that the ascension gifts – apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher – are leadership offices of the Church, given by the ascended Christ to lead and perfect the saints, hence, they are not mere positions or automatic rewards.

Apodtle Etrue also stated that ministers must be impartial in caring for the flock entrusted to them.

“As a minister, you must have a love for people’s souls and a longing to lead them to a personal relationship with Christ, contributing to their spiritual growth and development,” he said.

The Koforidua Area Head again stated that a faithful pastor knows they must passionately pursue Christ, adding: “A holy minister is an awe-inspiring weapon in the hand of God and a gift to the Church.”

He urged the Church members to cherish, appreciate, and support God’s gift of ministers to the Church, so they can benefit from the divine blessings contained within them.

He mentioned that the value of a gift is not measured by the purpose the gift serves, as a result, every pastor must strive to fulfill the purpose they have been called to serve.

“Your relevance as a minister is dependent on the benefits the people receive from you. In fact, this may be the most important thing we ever learn about God—that He yearns for a relationship with us and to commune with us,” he said.

Apostle Etrue also noted that God speaks to His children through the glory of His creation, His Holy Spirit, His word, and through dreams, visions, and the human conscience.

“In fact, He sometimes speaks to us through our spouses, the elderly, our children, as well as events and circumstances to speak with us,” he explained.

According to him, the reason why God longs to speak to His children, among other things, is to give them divine wisdom to help people navigate challenges and situations.

“God uses so many methods to speak to you. Sometimes to turn us from wrongdoing and keep us from pride, to preserve our lives from perishing by the sword,” he said.

The Koforidua Area Head, therefore, urged believers, particularly ministers, to reposition themselves to always receive from the Lord.

“As we wait upon the Lord, we are to grow in knowledge of Him and His commands for us. And we are to be diligent in seeking Him and applying His law to our lives,” he advised.

Concluding his message, Apostle Mike Etrue said that ministers can hear the Lord speak in their ministry by desiring to hear His voice (1 Corinthians 14:1, Matthew 5:6, Psalm 107:9), and being sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

He further noted that when ministers are able to hear God’s instructions and act on them, they will become fruitful in ministry and also manifest the power of God.
