Bimpong-Egya District Dedicates Central Church Building

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Bimpong-Egya District of The Church of Pentecost in the Twifo Praso Area has dedicated its Central Assembly church building to the glory of God. The service was chaired by the Area Head, Apostle Lawrence Otu-Nyarko, with support from the District Minister, Pastor Abraham Gyabaah.

The Assembly was opened in 1964 by the late Pastor Yaw Frimpong, then Twifo Praso District Minister, after an evangelistic outreach. Worship began in a school building with 20 members, led by Presiding Elder Zechariah Djam Eklo, assisted by Elders Yaw Kumah, Daniel Kuleke, and Wisdom Abochie. After Elder Eklo’s passing, Elder Kumah took over leadership.

Elder Kumah later donated land at “Aunty Ruth,” where a mud structure – half roofed with aluminum sheets and half with thatch – earning the nickname “skirt and blouse” was erected. In 1987, the presbytery acquired a new land from Akuapem Mampong and built another mud structure, with roofing logs provided by the late Opanin Kwesi Dompey.

A permanent building project began in 2017 under Elder Isaac Trekpa and the then District Minister, Rev. Isaac Joe Adusei. In 2019, the Assembly received a Head Office grant during the tenure of Rev. Vincent Ephraim Amegah. Following the creation of Bimpong-Egya District in August 2019, Pastor Gyabaah and his family pushed the project forward, supported by Apostle Otu-Nyarko, who continued the work initiated by his predecessor, Apostle David Nii Addo-Pappoe.

The completed building, costing GH₵268,400, features washrooms and offices for accounts and records. Funding came from Headquarters and Area grants, District and Local offerings, and donations from individuals, including Apostle Isaac Nii Kotei Djani and wife Mary, Pastor Gyabaah and wife Evelyn, Hon. David Vondee (MP for Twifo Atti Morkwa), Hon. Ebenezer Obeng Dwamena (NPP Parliamentary Candidate), and KWASERK Company Ltd.

Preaching on “The Essentials of a Dedicated Building” from Zechariah 2:1-5 and Hebrews 9:3-5, Twifo Praso District Minister, Pastor Frank Larbi, urged members to preserve God’s presence in His church. Apostle Otu-Nyarko commended the congregation for their commitment and encouraged them to care for the facility.

The event was attended by the Area pastorate and wives, community chief Togbe Ringo Gottah, and other dignitaries.

PIWC Sakumono’s 5-Day Evangelistic Mission Sparks Revival and Church Planting In Abrem Agona

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

PIWC Sakumono’s Evangelism Ministry has led a five-day mission that has transformed the Abrem Agona community in the Central Region.

In a season marked by relentless rains, the heavens stayed open and by the third day, the skies cleared, “It wasn’t just dry skies, it was open heavens. God had something special for the town,” one missionary said.

Over the course of the mission, 103 adults and 25 children surrendered their lives to Christ. On the final day, 40 new believers were baptized. Almost 100 people were healed from chronic illnesses, joint disorders, respiratory issues, and other long-standing afflictions.

The impact extended beyond the spiritual resulting in the planting of a new Assembly in Kwesikwakum to nurture the growing fellowship. A medical team also provided free consultations, treatment, and medication, while donated clothing brought joy and relief to many in need.

The mission, supported by Apostle Seth Fianko-Larbi, the Resident Minister of PIWC Sakumono, Pastor Maxwell Nti, the Abrem Agona District Pastor, the Abrem Agona Local Council of Churches, and our dedicated Major Missions Partners and Sponsors, stands as a testament to what God can do when His people obey the Great Commission. The revival that began in Abrem Agona is set to ripple through generations.

230 Souls Won In Asantekwa During Abossey Okai Worship Centre Outreach

by with No Comment Church NewsEvangelism MinistryTop Stories

A total of 230 souls were won for Christ during a four-day evangelistic outreach by the Abossey Okai Worship Centre (AOWC) in the Kaneshie Area of The Church of Pentecost to Asantekwa in the Bono East Region.

The outreach, which took place from August 5 to 9, 2025, was part of the church’s ‘Possessing the Nations’ agenda. As part of the outreach, 23 new converts baptised in water – all of whom received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, while an additional 36 believers were baptised in the Holy Spirit during an all-night service.

The 27-member delegation was led by the District Minister, Pastor Fred Stephen Sarfo, and the District Evangelism Leader, Elder Ernest Sarpong. They were warmly welcomed by the Asantekwa District Minister, Overseer Enoch Ofori Kwarteng, and his presbytery.

The second day featured a familiarisation tour of the town, including visits to Fuller Falls and Kintampo Waterfalls. The team was divided into four groups and deployed across five local assemblies in the Asantekwa District — Asantekwa, Sogliboi, Ahinakom, Busuama/Yara, and Ntraban. At Sogliboi, a cinema evangelism event led to the salvation of 19 people.

On the third day, various forms of outreach — rallies, cinema evangelism, radio broadcasts, street preaching, and house-to-house visits — brought many to Christ.
A major highlight was the miraculous healing of a woman named Serwaa Akosua, who had been paralysed for 10 years. She received instant healing and began walking, prompting great rejoicing.

Day four included a free health screening for residents, during which six people accepted Christ. The team also donated clothing, footwear, and other items, as well as a motorbike, which was received by Kintampo Area Head, Apostle Francis Agyemang Badu, and Overseer Ofori Kwarteng.

Pastor Fred Stephen Sarfo expressed gratitude for the unprecedented spiritual harvest, saying, ‘We came to share the gospel, but God did more than we imagined — saving souls, healing the sick, and uniting His church in love and service.’

Downtown-Ofaakor Area Head Dedicates Two Church Buildings in Awuakyekwaa District web

Downtown-Ofaakor Area Head Dedicates Two Church Buildings in Awuakyekwaa District

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Apostle William Kojo Edzorhoho, Area Head of the Downtown-Ofaakor Area, on Thursday, July 10, 2025, officiated a special service in the Awuakyekwaa District to dedicate the Okwampah and Penim Assembly church buildings and lay the foundation stone for the Darko Botwey Assembly.

The service, which brought together members, officers, ministers, and community representatives from the Awuakyekwaa and Awutu Bawjiase Districts, was a significant milestone in the District’s ongoing development.

Delivering the sermon on the theme “The Expert Builder,” Pastor Isaac Ampomah, District Minister for the Jei-Krodua District, emphasized that God’s dwelling place is not in physical structures but in the hearts of believers. He noted that while buildings may deteriorate with time, the spiritual house built on the foundation of Christ remains enduring.

“The strength of any building lies in its foundation,” Pastor Ampomah stated, drawing parallels between physical construction and spiritual life. He concluded his sermon by reminding the congregation that the church must always be a house of continual prayer.

The Okwampah Assembly was planted in 2004 through the evangelistic efforts of the Women’s Ministry of Bethel Assembly (now Awuakyekwaa Central). In 2008, land for the church was acquired by the Bawjiase District under the leadership of Elder Samuel Odjo, and a temporary structure was later erected during the tenure of Pastor Ransford Essel.

On July 12, 2023, Apostle Dr. Benjamin Ali (Retd) laid the foundation for the permanent church building. With the help of local and district efforts, and a grant approved by Apostle William Edzorhoho, the building was successfully completed. Over the past 21 years, eight leaders have served the Assembly, playing instrumental roles in its growth and development.

The Penim Assembly was established in 1983, a year after Bawjiase was officially designated a District. It was the first church in the Penim community and initially met in an old school building. The land was graciously donated by the late Chief Nai Kwao Otuo V.

In 2017, the church received a grant from the Community-Based Church Building (CBCB) initiative. The sod-cutting ceremony was held in 2018 by Apostle Samuel Antwi (Retd), then Kasoa Area Head. The foundation stone was laid in 2019 by Apostle Samuel Otu Appiah, supported by Pastor Ebenezer Tawiah-Mensah. Elder John Onomah served as the Presiding Elder during that period.

Following the creation of the Awuakyekwaa District in 2019 from the Bawjiase District, Pastor George Arthur continued overseeing the project. He secured a grant from then Area Head Apostle Dr. Benjamin Ali (Retd) for re-roofing. Apostle William Edzorhoho later ensured the full completion of the project, in line with his commitment to see all CBCB projects in the Area brought to fruition. Area Deacon Elder Victor Israel Kuoffie also played a significant supporting role.

Apostle Edzorhoho expressed profound appreciation to the District Pastor, leadership, and all contributors whose sacrifices – both financial and physical – helped realize these projects. He praised the collaborative effort that made the day a success and affirmed the District’s progress as a sign of God’s continued faithfulness.

The well-attended event was graced by several ministers and their spouses, officers, and members from the surrounding districts.

Apostle Mireku’s regular visits to the site and his financial support greatly encouraged the congregation, affirming that the building would be completed swiftly. The foundation stone of the new building was laid on December 28, 2023, by Apostle Mireku, assisted by Pastor Emmanuel Essandoh.

Another significant phase of the project began when Pastor Adjei-Nimako Darkwa took office as Area Head in September 2024. His frequent site visits, financial contributions, technical expertise, and aesthetic suggestions were invaluable, culminating in the completion and dedication of the building.

The following individuals were acknowledged for their notable contributions to the project: Elders Clement Afedi (Presiding Elder), Worthford Ayirebi (Kwabeng District, Suhum Area), Benjamin Akpariba (Prestea District, Bogoso Area), Stephen Nyarko (La, Accra), Eric Kofi Sam (Odorkor Area, Accra), and Moses K. Nyamekye (Gwira Banso District, Axim Area).

Others include Mr Samuel and Mrs Gifty Adu Darko (Kaneshie, Accra), Mr David Kojo Asiedu (Kwanyako), Mr Peter Biadjoe Cudjoe (Tarkwa), Mr Desmond Blay (Wassa Damang), Mr Kenneth and Mrs Abigail Ali, and Ms Salina Orsuan (Gwira Banso District, Axim Area).

The district also paid special tribute to Apostle Eric Nyamkye (Chairman) and the Executive Council; Apostle Derek and Mrs Elizabeth Kwaning Mireku (Retired); Pastor Adjei-Nimako Darkwa, Area Head; the Pastorate of the Area; and the Kwanyako District Presbytery, for their invaluable support towards the completion of the project.

Serve God With Your Possessions – Apostle Dieudonné Nuekpe Charges Christians

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

Apostle Dieudonné Komla Nuekpe, an Executive Council Member and La Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has advised Christians, particularly church leaders, to serve God with all they possess — including their lives, resources, talents, time, and intellect — for the advancement of God’s Kingdom.

Delivering a message titled “Serving God with Your Possessions” at the Day 2 morning session of the maiden Western World Ministers and Wives Conference in Amsterdam today [August 7, 2025], Apostle Nuekpe reminded participants that both spiritual and material blessings are divine trusts, not personal entitlements.

“Our God is a giving God — everything He created gives,” he said, referencing the sun, moon, stars, and earth. “If everything God made gives, then I must also give. We are not owners, but stewards. Everything belongs to God.”

The conference, being held at the Park Inn by Radisson, has brought together ministers and their spouses from across Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania. It is organised by the International Missions Directorate of The Church of Pentecost under the theme: “Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling” (Ephesians 4:1; Galatians 1:24; 1 Thessalonians 4:7–8).

Apostle Nuekpe explained that in both the Old and New Testaments, faithful stewardship has always been a mark of godliness. Citing biblical figures like King David and the early church in Acts 4, he illustrated how sacrificial giving and full devotion were key to accomplishing God’s purposes.

He stressed that possessions include not only material resources (money, properties, goods), but also spiritual gifts, time, talents, homes, and intellect. Each, he said, must be intentionally offered in service to the Lord.

“We must move from ownership to stewardship,” he said. “God owns all. We are just managers — and faithful stewardship demands accountability, growth, and results.”

Referring to Vision 2028, Apostle Nuekpe highlighted the need for intentional mobilization of church resources to support church planting, missionary work, social care, and the expansion of Christ-centered institutions globally.

“This vision is a direct response to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. It takes resources to send missionaries, build churches, support schools, and reach the vulnerable,” he stated.

He further encouraged ministers to model sacrificial service as seen in the life of Jesus, who not only gave His life on the cross but also washed the feet of His disciples.

“Our homes must become sanctuaries. Our money must honour God. Our time must be used wisely. Our intellect must serve the Kingdom,” he urged. “Every part of us must declare: I serve God with what I have.”

While acknowledging challenges such as financial strain and societal pressure, Apostle Nuekpe emphasised that true service goes beyond comfort — it reaches into eternal reward.

“Jesus, the ultimate stockbroker, said we must store up treasures in heaven,” he noted. “Let us not hold back. Let us give all to the God who gave everything.”

The Western World Ministers and Wives Conference continues until August 8, 2025, with sessions led by leaders of the Church, including the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, and the Missions Director, Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe.

APOSTLE NYAMEKYE URGES MINISTERS TO SERVE GOD WITHOUT RESERVATION web

Apostle Nyamekye Urges Ministers To Serve God Without Reservation

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has urged ministers of the gospel to serve God without conditions or reservations, describing such a posture as “the delight of sacrifice.”

He made the call today during the opening session of the maiden Western World Ministers and Wives’ Conference underway in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Delivering a sermon titled “The Delight of Sacrifice: Serving God Without Reservation,” Apostle Nyamekye centred his message on the Apostle Paul’s view of ministry, calling on today’s generation of church leaders to emulate Paul’s unwavering zeal and deep passion for the Lord.

He described the Apostle Paul as a “hybrid of clergy and laity,” who, through a deep knowledge of God, committed himself fully to divine service.

“The best thing in life, bringing more joy, delight, and contentment than anything else, is the knowledge of God,” the Chairman stated. “The state that gives God the most pleasure is when man desires and strives for the knowledge of Him.”

According to Apostle Nyamekye, it is this constant pursuit of knowing God that fuels a believer’s commitment. He stressed that the more one grows in the knowledge of the Lord, the deeper their devotion to His service becomes.

“When you know Him as Lord, you will know yourself as a servant,” he said. “And the servant’s greatest goal is to please the Master.”

He explained that ministers who delight in sacrificial service do not operate based on personal interests or ambitions, but align themselves with Christ’s interest in others. “They have given up all claims of their rights to themselves. They are simply servants of God—fully surrendered, with no goals of their own,” he said.

Concluding his message, Apostle Nyamekye reminded ministers that true Christian service is driven by unconditional devotion to Jesus. “Our motivation is our love for Christ—no conditions, no reservations,” he emphasised.

The ongoing Western World Ministers and Wives’ Conference is the first of its kind and brings together ministers and their wives from North America, Europe, and other Western countries. It forms part of the Church’s strategic effort to reposition itself for effective mission in contemporary global contexts.

The Western World Must Be Won For The Lord – Apostle Eric Nyamekye

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, has issued a clarion call to ministers and church leaders across the globe to intentionally pursue the spiritual transformation of the Western world through strategic evangelistic efforts.

Speaking at the opening of the maiden Western World Ministers and Wives Conference in Amsterdam today [August 6, 2025], Apostle Nyamekye emphasised that the Western world—with all its advancements in secularism, individualism, and moral relativism—remains a fertile ground for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“The Western world must be won for the Lord—not simply through inviting people to church services, but by building relationships and serving as bridges upon which the gospel can travel,” he declared.

The conference, which is taking place at the Park Inn by Radisson, has gathered ministers and their spouses from The Church of Pentecost across the Western world.

It is being organised by the International Missions Directorate under the leadership of Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe, Missions Director of the Church. The event runs from August 6–8, 2025, under the theme: “Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling” (Ephesians 4:1; Galatians 1:24; 1 Thessalonians 4:7–8).

Apostle Nyamekye explained that the expansion of the usual European Ministers’ Conference into a Western World-wide gathering is a deliberate effort to build a shared understanding among ministers of the Church’s global mission agenda.

He highlighted the Church’s exponential growth from Ghana to over 190 nations, noting a marked increase in indigenous participation, which has resulted in the creation of city and homogenous churches across Europe, North America, and beyond.

“We must not merely hold congregational meetings,” he said. “Our presence in these nations must be felt—not just by what we preach, but by the lives we live. We are here to raise a people who will radically, creatively, and graciously express Christ in every sphere of society.”

The Chairman urged ministers to look beyond the comfort of their local Ghanaian congregations in the diaspora and to focus on strategic, cross-cultural missions, aimed at reaching native populations in their respective countries of residence.

“We are not called to be invisible. Our assignment is not to simply coexist—we are here to influence, to declare the life of Christ in word, in deed, and in attitude,” he stressed.

According to him, the Church must function not only as a religious gathering but as a transformational force capable of lifting entire nations or empires to health, healing, and hope through the power of the gospel.

He concluded by urging church leaders to renew their focus, deepen their cross-cultural engagement, and model lives that reflect the character and compassion of Christ wherever they are stationed.

Maiden Western World Ministers & Wives Conference Underway In Amsterdam

by with No Comment Church NewsMissionsTop Stories

The International Missions Directorate of The Church of Pentecost, under the leadership of Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Bekoe, Missions Director of the Church, has commenced its maiden Western World Ministers and Wives Conference in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The event, currently underway at the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel, has brought together ministers of The Church of Pentecost and their spouses from across the Western world.

The conference, chaired by the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, is being held under the theme: “Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling,” drawn from Ephesians 4:1, Galatians 1:24, and 1 Thessalonians 4:7-8.

Apostle Nyamekye, in his opening address, explained that the expansion of the traditional European Ministers’ Conference into a full Western World gathering is aimed at fostering a shared understanding among ministers on the global mission agenda of the Church.

He noted the Church’s phenomenal growth into over 190 nations and the increasing involvement of indigenous believers, which has led to the planting of city and homogenous churches outside Ghana.

He urged ministers to move beyond congregational routines and to become intentional about raising Christ-like communities whose lives make a visible impact across the spheres of society.

“Our presence in the nations must not just be about holding church services. It must be felt in the way we live, build relationships, and serve as bridges for the gospel to travel,” he emphasised.

He further challenged participants to look beyond Ghanaian communities in the diaspora and focus on reaching the Western world, which he described as a complex but fertile ground for the gospel amidst growing secularism, individualism, and moral relativism.

Also addressing the gathering in later sessions will be the General Secretary, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, and Executive Council Members Apostle Dr. Dieudonne Nuekpe and Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi.

The conference, running from 6th to 8th August 2025, features morning, afternoon, and evening sessions—including workshops designed to equip participants for transformational ministry in their local contexts.

In a warm welcome address, the host of the conference, Apostle Samuel Obeng Eshun—who oversees The Church of Pentecost in the Netherlands—described the gathering as “a divine appointment.”

He noted that the purpose of the conference is to equip ministers to return home burning with renewed power and strength to challenge prevailing worldviews and advance the Kingdom of God.

The conference continues with more workshop sessions and spirit-filled encounters in the days ahead.
