The Mount Olives Assembly Church building in the Kissi District of the Elmina Area has been dedicated to the glory of God. The ceremony, held on Thursday, October 30, 2025, was officiated by the Elmina Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Lawrence Oduro-Nyarko.

In his opening remarks, Apostle Oduro-Nyarko expressed gratitude to God for the successful completion of the project. He also acknowledged the Chairman and the Executive Council for their continuous financial support towards local church building projects.

Preaching on the theme “Building the Church with Integrity” (Matthew 7:24–27; Proverbs 10:9), the Elmina District Minister, Pastor Chris Ameyaw, emphasized the importance of integrity in Christian service and leadership. He noted that integrity—defined as moral consistency and doing what one professes—forms the foundation of a strong church capable of withstanding trials. He encouraged believers to live exemplary lives marked by honesty, accountability, and faithfulness, adding that leaders must handle church resources with integrity.

Giving a brief history of the Assembly, Elder Ernest Amonoo, the District Finance Chairman and former Presiding Elder, recalled that the Mount Olives Assembly was established in 2015 during the tenure of the late Pastor Samuel Justice Kusi Asumadu following an aggressive evangelism campaign. The Assembly initially worshipped under canopies before constructing a temporary structure under Pastor Ernest Boakye Anto through Area support.

In 2017, the church received a Community-Based Church Building (CBCB) grant from the Headquarters to commence the permanent structure. However, work stalled due to financial challenges until further support was released under Apostle Oduro-Nyarko after the creation of the Elmina Area from the Cape Coast Area, leading to the completion and dedication of the building.

Pastor Samuel Obeng Ansong expressed appreciation to former Area Heads—Apostle David Terkperh and Apostle Dr. Samuel Yaw Antwi—and the current Area Head, Apostle Oduro-Nyarko, as well as church members and artisans for their support towards the project.

The event was attended by Mrs. Cynthia Oduro-Nyarko, ministers and their spouses within the Area, officers, members of the Assembly, and traditional leaders of Kissi.

Held on Saturday, October 18, the outreach served more than a thousand residents of the Obuasi Municipality, who received free health education, blood pressure checks, fasting blood sugar and PSA tests, breast screening, NHIS registration and renewals, as well as medication—all at no cost.

The outreach also presented an opportunity for the church to conduct evangelism and water baptisms at Black Park, effectively driving home this year’s theme, “Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly” from John 10:10.

The year’s edition of the Filling Station Conference, the flagship spiritual deepening programme of the PIWC-Obuasi, was climaxed on Sunday, October 19, 2025 and recorded over 60 souls.

The weeklong event featured four outdoor evening crusades at the popular Black Park, two morning sessions at the Obuasi Area seat—Bidieso Assembly church auditorium—and afternoon outdoor gospel heralding sessions, all aimed at fulfilling the Church’s mandate of preaching the gospel in and out of season.

In a remarkable act of Christian love and humility, Elder Dr. Alex Ayiem Eshun and his wife, Grace, of the E. K. Kyei Worship Centre in the Tarkwa Area of The Church of Pentecost, have built and handed over a fully furnished ultra-modern church temple to the Triumphant Apostolic Church in Bogoso.

The dedication of the new temple took place on Sunday, October 5, 2025, in a colourful ceremony that brought together dignitaries from The Church of Pentecost, The Apostolic Church International, and the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC). Also in attendance were government officials, traditional leaders, and members of the community who gathered to witness this extraordinary expression of generosity and unity in the body of Christ.

The dedication service was officiated by Rev. Dominic Eshun, Founder of the Triumphant Apostolic Church and junior brother of Elder Dr. Ayiem Eshun, together with Pastor Ken Vuvor and other ministers from the Tarkwa Area of The Church of Pentecost. The atmosphere was filled with gratitude and joy as songs of praise and testimonies were shared about God’s faithfulness through the life and ministry of the couple.

Elder Dr. Ayiem Eshun, a distinguished professional and devoted member of The Church of Pentecost, has long been known for his commitment to kingdom work and his deep passion for missions. Together with his wife, Grace, they have consistently demonstrated their faith through acts of service and philanthropy aimed at supporting both church and community. Their decision to build a temple for another denomination, rather than their own, underscores a profound understanding of the Church’s universal mission – that Christ’s Kingdom extends beyond denominational walls.

The new edifice stands as a beacon of hope and unity in Bogoso, providing a conducive and inspiring space for worship, discipleship, and community outreach. With its modern facilities and serene atmosphere, it symbolizes the couple’s vision to see God’s people flourish in an environment that honours His name.

According to Elder Dr. Eshun, the project was inspired by The Church of Pentecost’s Vision 2028 and the theme of “Possessing the Nations”, which calls believers to influence every sphere of life with Kingdom values. “This is our way of living out the mandate to possess the nations,” he said. “We are one body in Christ, and if God has blessed us, we must use those blessings to build His Kingdom everywhere.”

In an expression of heartfelt appreciation, Rev. Dominic Eshun and the members of the Triumphant Apostolic Church thanked Elder Dr. Ayiem Eshun and his wife for their exceptional generosity, describing the gesture as an answer to long-standing prayers. “This temple will serve generations,” Rev. Eshun said. “It is more than a building; it is a testimony of God’s love demonstrated through His people.”

Indeed, through their obedience and selflessness, Elder Dr. Alex Ayiem Eshun and Deaconess Grace have reminded the body of Christ that the true measure of faith is service, and the highest form of worship is giving. Their act stands as a living example of Christian unity, generosity, and purpose-driven faith, a powerful reflection of what it truly means to possess the nations.

The Ho Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo, has urged church officers to let the principles and values of the Kingdom of God influence every aspect of their lives – wherever they go and whatever they do.

Speaking at the Zonal Officers’ Retreat held on Monday, October 27, 2025, at the Ho Dome Central Auditorium, Apostle Kwafo, who also serves as an Executive Council Member and the Volta and Oti Regional Coordinator, emphasized that the “Possessing the Nations” agenda of The Church of Pentecost demands that all members, especially officers, serve as front-liners in transforming society with godly values such as love, humility, faithfulness, and discipline.

Delivering a message on the topic, “Paying My Price as an Officer in the Vision 2028 Agenda,” Apostle Kwafo stated that God’s vision for the church is not confined to the four walls of a building but must be expressed through righteous influence in all spheres of life. “The possessing the nations agenda requires that we move outside the church into the world and tell the love of Jesus to others so we can bring them to the saving grace of Christ,” he declared.

He explained that fulfilling this vision involves understanding the charge, the assignment, the risks, and the rewards. On the charge, he cautioned officers against separating their walk with Christ from their professional or family life. “You have gone astray if there is a separation of your work or home from Christ,” he warned.

Expounding on the assignment, Apostle Kwafo said officers are called to display God’s glory and presence in every environment they find themselves in, confronting corruption and promoting integrity, particularly in their workplaces. “Wherever and whenever there is a church service, it must be seen that people have come to the city of God,” he added, stressing the need for quality worship and service in every local assembly.

While acknowledging the risks involved, such as losing friends and privileges, he reminded officers that the rewards for faithful service are eternal. Citing 1 Corinthians 15:58 and Revelation 22:12, he encouraged them to remain steadfast, knowing that “the Lord is faithful and will reward each one handsomely for their labour in His vineyard.”

Also present at the retreat were Mrs. Agartha Agyei Kwafo, wife of the Area Head, and the Dome Zone Pastors and their spouses. Participating Districts included Ho Dome, SSNIT Flats, Barracks, Godokpe, PIWC, Sokode Lokoe, Adaklu Agblefe, Adaklu Waya, Ziope, Akpokope, and Kpetoe.

This meeting formed part of a series of zonal retreats being held across the Ho Area, with the first session earlier taking place in the Bankoe Zone.
