PENSA-PU Missions Records 589 Souls, Miraculous Testimonies

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesYouth Ministry

The Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) of Pentecost University has won 589 souls during its 8-day evangelistic outreach, dubbed ‘Missions’26’ held in the Afram Plains Area from June 9-16, 2026.

Held under the theme, “Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the World” (Luke 19:9-10), the outreach saw 140 student missionaries deployed to ten locations across the Area to proclaim the gospel through house-to-house evangelism, community outreaches, personal witnessing, and evening crusades.

The mission yielded 466 new converts and 123 rededications, surpassing its target of 500 souls. Additionally, 157 converts underwent water baptism, while 169 believers received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Four new assemblies were also established to disciple the converts and strengthen the Church’s presence in the communities reached.

Beyond the numerical gains, the outreach was marked by several testimonies of healing, deliverance, and spiritual transformation.

One of the most notable testimonies occurred during a baptismal service when a newly converted woman reportedly lost the use of her legs after emerging from the water. As the team prayed fervently, she regained strength and was able to walk, turning what appeared to be a moment of distress into a testimony of divine intervention.

The outreach also recorded reports of physical healings. A woman suffering from chronic back pain testified of receiving relief after prayer, while another woman who had endured persistent waist pain reported being healed during a special prayer session for the sick. A young girl experiencing severe stomach pain was also said to have recovered after prayer.

In another remarkable encounter, a paralysed man was reached during house-to-house evangelism. Following prayers offered by the team, he reportedly regained strength and began to walk.

The mission further witnessed dramatic conversions. A local man publicly surrendered his idols and amulets after accepting Christ, symbolising his break from former beliefs and practices. In another instance, a young man who was initially reluctant to respond to the gospel surrendered his life to Christ after receiving a prophetic word that spoke directly to his circumstances.

Several participants also testified of spiritual encounters, visions, and deliverance experiences that deepened their faith and commitment to Christ.

According to the organisers, the testimonies recorded throughout the outreach served as a powerful confirmation of God’s saving and transforming power. The mission concluded with thanksgiving to God for the souls won, lives transformed, and communities impacted through the preaching of the gospel.

The Word of God Has the Power to Transform Lives and Communities – Apostle Nyamekye web

The Word of God Has the Power to Transform Lives, Communities – Apostle Dr Nyamekye

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has emphasised the transformative power of the word of God, stating that it has the capacity to change not only individuals but also cultures and societal systems.

Speaking on the theme, “The Seed Is the Word,” during a service at the Lakeside Central and English Assemblies in the Kete-Krachi Area on Thursday, June 11, 2026, Apostle Nyamekye noted that God’s Word remains the primary instrument through which He builds, blesses, and prospers His people.

According to him, faith in the word of God positions both individuals and communities for divine prosperity and lasting impact. He cited the example of King David’s final charge to Solomon in 1 Kings 2:1-3, stressing that David’s instruction to keep the law of the Lord underscores the importance of obedience to God’s commands.

Apostle Nyamekye further highlighted the inclusive nature of the gospel, explaining that regardless of one’s background, sin, or past mistakes, Christ extends an open invitation to all who are burdened and in need of rest.

Referencing Acts 20:32, he stated that the word of God has the power to build believers up and grant them an inheritance among those who are sanctified. He reiterated that the Church does not rely on charms, magical substances, or ritual objects but on the preaching of God’s word and faith in Jesus Christ, who alone performs miracles.

“The word of God is both truth and grace,” he explained, adding that believers who walk in God’s truth experience His grace, which enables them to prosper and fulfil His purposes. Quoting John 1:14, he reminded the congregation that Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh, full of grace and truth.

The Chairman described the word of God as the most valuable inheritance that one generation can pass on to another. He noted that those who treasure God’s instructions, obey them, and allow them to shape their lives will increasingly reflect God’s character and enjoy true prosperity.

Encouraging believers to develop a deeper appreciation for Scripture, Apostle Nyamekye said that hearing and embracing the Word brings blessing and transformation. He urged Christians to prioritise fellowship and pay close attention to biblical teachings whenever they gather in worship.

Drawing lessons from the life of Abraham, he observed that obedience to God’s word can sometimes be painful and demanding. He, however, stressed that God’s grace accompanies those who choose obedience, even when it requires sacrifice.

Apostle Nyamekye also encouraged families to make the word of God the foundation of their homes, marriages, and child upbringing. He advised business people to conduct their affairs with integrity and moderation rather than pursuing excessive profit at the expense of others, assuring them that God’s blessing follows those who honour His principles.

He concluded by reminding the congregation that every encounter with the word of God is an encounter with Christ Himself. He, therefore, urged believers to open their hearts to God’s word, embrace its teachings, and allow it to shape their future.

“From today, change your attitude towards the word of God,” he charged, expressing confidence that those who receive and obey God’s word will experience His grace, power, and blessing in every area of life.

Present at the service were Apostle Benjamin Quaye Offei-Badu (National Coordinator, Home and Urban Missions); Pastor Charles K. Fosu (Kete-Krachi Area Head); pastors in the Krachi Zone, government officials, traditional rulers and the church populace.

Live the Kingdom Values and Proclaim the Gospel – Apostle Nyamekye Charges Christians web

Live the Kingdom Values – Apostle Dr Nyamekye Charges Christians

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has urged Christians to make it their foremost priority to know, live, and proclaim the principles and values of the Kingdom of God.

Delivering the sermon on Friday, June 13, 2026, at the Dambai Lakeside Central Assembly in the Nkwanta Area of the Church, Apostle Nyamekye explained that believers, having been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God, must embrace the lifestyle of the new Kingdom.

“Our priority and pursuit as people of God is to know the principles and values of the Kingdom of God, live by them, and proclaim them,” he stated.

He explained that the Kingdom of God operates under a different authority, with its own rules, values, lifestyle, and ruler. Therefore, Christians must resist the temptation to carry the practices of their former life into their new walk with Christ.

“In this new Kingdom, we no longer live as wicked people under the authority of Satan. You do not translate the lifestyle of darkness into the light; rather, you shine your light in the darkness. When you come into the light, proclaim it and live it out,” he stressed.

Apostle Nyamekye further noted that the gospel, when genuinely embraced and demonstrated through transformed lives, possesses the power to bring about societal transformation.

“When we proclaim the gospel and live out the new life in Christ, it has the power to transform society. People are watching us, wanting to find out whether we are genuine and truly saved,” he said.

According to him, despite the challenges confronting nations across the world, hope remains because the

message of salvation can bring lasting change.

“Every country has a shadow story, but it does not matter. Change is possible through the gospel of salvation,” he affirmed.

Present at the service were Apostle Benjamin Quaye Offei-Badu, National Coordinator of the Home and Urban Missions (HUM); Apostle Seth Dwamena Asante, Nkwanta Area Head; Apostle Semenya Yao Dogbe, Hohoe Area Head; Apostle Charles K. Fosu, Kete-Krachi Area Head; members of the Local Council of Churches, the Area pastorate, and a large congregation of worshippers.

Your Work Is Sacred Calling To Transform Society – Apostle Dzemekey

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

An Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Peter Kofi Dzemekey, has called on engineers and artisans to recognise that their professions reflect the nature of God, and therefore they must employ their skills and talents to glorify Him.

According to Apostle Dzemekey, The Church of Pentecost has consistently upheld the belief that the work of engineers, artisans, and indeed all professionals, is a sacred calling to transform their respective spheres of influence.

Apostle Dzemekey, who also serves as the Asokwa Area Head and Coordinator of the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Committee (RCC) of the Church, made these remarks during the 2026 Built Environment, Engineers and Artisans Conference held at the Asokwa McKeown Worship Centre in Kumasi on Friday, June 19, 2026.

He noted that the hands of skilled engineers, like those of craftsmen, reflect the Creator Himself. He therefore encouraged workers to use their God-given gifts to serve the House of God while also contributing positively to the wider community.

He further stated that the work of artisans demonstrates that faith and excellence go hand in hand.

Apostle Dzemekey explained that one’s expertise is a valuable treasure, adding that the roads, systems and structures engineered through such expertise shape human life and society.

He also described participants as the vital bridge between vision and reality, emphasising that their willingness to learn and build, not only with materials but also with faith, is an indication that their work has the power to shape and influence lives.

We must Become Ministers Outside The Church – Apostle Dr Nyamekye

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has stated that believers are God’s method of evangelism. It is therefore incumbent upon them to influence and transform their spheres with Kingdom principles and Values.

According to him, new creations are ministers of the Gospel outside the four walls of the Church, which is an approach used by God to propel the Good News through the Spirit’s empowerment for transformation.

He revealed that God has made believers light and sent them to expel darkness, therefore, it is inexcusable for one to focus on his profession alone and skip the divine mandate of godly influence.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost was speaking at the Built Environment, Engineers and Artisans Conference 2026 at the Asokwa McKeown Worship Centre in Kumasi on Friday, June 19, 2026.

The conference, under the auspices of The Church of Pentecost Men’s Ministry (PEMEM), in collaboration with the Workers’ Guild involved professionals, engineers, and artisans in the built environment designed to equip and unleash for societal transformation.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye disclosed that calling for transformation in the world, which begins at one’s workplace, requires systematic efforts to strategically unleash people.

 He explained that the Church has been intentionally unleashed as a factor of change to the world emphasising that the Church through its lay leaders is committed to the course to transform the world.

Apostle Dr Nyamekye noted that workers are carriers of the Gospel, which has the power to transform lives. Therefore, as agents of transformation, their focus is to impact lives wherever they find themselves.

“Because of the Gospel and the Spirit’s power, we can transform society. The Church will not teach you how to become an engineer, but it will teach the engineer with the principles and values of the Kingdom to transform,” he added.

The Chairman referenced the basic teachings of the Protestants which emphasized that all believers are Priests, thus equality before God, surrounded by the values and principles of God; Justice, and equality in the distribution of wealth, and Strong advocacy on the integrity of one’s work.

Asempa FM’s OB Charges Youth To Leave Lasting Impressions web.jpg

Asempa FM’s OB Charges Youth To Leave Lasting Impressions

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesYouth Ministry

The Managing Director of Asempa FM, Elder Philip Osei Bonsu (Esq.), popularly known as OB, has urged Ghanaian youth to strive to leave a positive and lasting impact wherever they find themselves.

He made this remark during the 2026 Youth & Useful Summit, organised by the Mampong-Akuapem District in the Koforidua Area of The Church of Pentecost, held at the Anagkazo Campus from Friday, June 5, to Saturday, June 6, 2026.

The two-day summit was aimed at equipping participants with highlights of the Church’s Vision 2028 and to get the youth committed at working to achieve the key performance indices of the vision.

The summit had over 200 participants in attendance, and was held under the inspiring theme, ‘Unleashed for Exploits with the Word and Excellent Spirit.’ It brought together young people from the church and other denominations for an intensive period of spiritual empowerment, personal development, career guidance, and mentorship.

Addressing the participants, Elder Philip Osei Bonsu encouraged the youth to uphold integrity, excellence, and godly values in every sphere of life, reminding them that their daily conduct preaches a louder sermon than their words. He also gave practical titbits on job opportunities, career choices, and the need to excel as Christians.

‘You cannot be a member of The Church of Pentecost and not excel; you cannot be youth and useful and not be unleashed,’ he stressed.

The opening session was led by the District Minister, Pastor George Osei-Asiedu, who spoke to the topic, ‘You are Unleashed to Do It.’ He cautioned the youth that procrastination and living an unplanned life —whether in the spiritual or secular realm — act as formidable destroyers of destiny.

He further stressed that leadership roles and positions are meant for performance and impact, not mere privileges to be enjoyed. He called on the youth to recognise every opportunity of life as a position to be used to honour God and make meaningful impact on people and communities.

‘Even being born a male or female should be seen as a position in life and harnessed to transform an aspect of your world,’ he revealed, adding that the youth should seize the various positions and opportunities they have to make Jesus famous instead of waiting to be appointed or ordained into an office before acting.

Touching on lessons from the life of Queen Esther in the Bible, Pastor Osei-Asiedu offered a profound perspective on her famous declaration, ‘If I perish, I perish.’ He pointed out that the statement was not a cry of despair, but rather a bold statement of sheer determination and courage. He thus charged the youth to adopt a mindset of action and remain resolutely determined to ‘possess the nations’ against all odds.

Following his stirring message, Pastor Osei-Asiedu led the attendees in an intensive prayer session focused on yielding to the Holy Spirit and receiving divine impartation.

The summit also featured presentations from other distinguished speakers. Dr Ebenezer Nyamekye Nkrumah, a lecturer, educated participants on research, academic advancement, and scholarship opportunities, encouraging them to rigorously pursue excellence in their educational and professional endeavours.

Additionally, Mr Ebenezer Boakye Agyemang, also a lecturer based in the UK delivered an insightful presentation on relationships and marriage. He advised the youth to prayerfully and carefully assess any person they intend to spend the rest of their lives with, emphasising that a solid foundation is required to build and sustain a successful Christian marriage.

Also in attendance to support the programme were Mrs Rosalind Osei-Asiedu, wife of the district minister; Pastor Michael Akrobettoe, the Youth Pastor of the Koforidua Area; as well as other distinguished guests and church leaders.

The two-day summit concluded on a high note, with the participants expressing immense gratitude for the impactful sessions, the spiritual awakening, and the practical lessons shared by the speakers. Many left inspired, revived, and better equipped to pursue their God-given purpose while making meaningful contributions to the Church, their communities, and the nation at large.

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Bulenga District in the Wa Area, The Church of Pentecost, has donated school uniforms and learning materials valued at GH¢17,000 to pupils of Jongfian R/C Primary School in the Wa East Municipality, reaffirming its commitment to community development and educational support.

The donation, which took place on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, included 150 school uniforms, 200 exercise books, 150 pencils, 150 erasers, 30 pens, and other educational materials aimed at enhancing teaching and learning in the school.

The initiative was inspired by the District Minister, Overseer Matthew Nuorjie, who identified the need during a pastoral visit to the Jongfian community. He observed that several schoolchildren were attending classes without proper uniforms, a situation that moved him to seek support for the affected pupils.

In line with The Church of Pentecost’s Vision 2028 agenda of “Possessing the Nations” through transformational impact, Overseer Nuorjie presented the concern to the District Executive Committee, which unanimously embraced and supported the intervention.

To mobilise resources for the project, Overseer Nuorjie engaged Deaconess Nana Kofi Abuna V, Chief of the Essipon-Sekondi Traditional Council, who generously sponsored the production of 150 school uniforms at a cost of GH¢15,000.

Additionally, Deaconess Gloria Wiredu, based in New York, USA, donated exercise books, pencils, erasers, pens, and other learning materials valued at GH¢2,000.

The combined contributions brought the total value of the support package to GH¢17,000, providing much-needed relief to pupils and their families.

Speaking during the presentation ceremony, church leaders noted that the donation forms part of the Church’s broader mission of demonstrating the love of Christ through practical interventions that address societal needs.

Receiving the items on behalf of the school, the Headmaster of Jongfian R/C Primary School expressed profound gratitude to The Church of Pentecost, Bulenga District, and the benefactors for their generosity. Similar appreciation was conveyed by the Assembly Member, representatives of the District Directorate of Education, traditional leaders, parents, and members of the community.

Beneficiary pupils described the support as timely and impactful, saying it would boost their confidence, improve school attendance, and enhance their academic performance.

The gesture underscores The Church of Pentecost’s unwavering commitment to transforming lives and communities through practical expressions of Christian values and social responsibility.
