The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has dedicated the newly constructed Kibi Central Assembly auditorium in the Suhum Area, charging Christians to demonstrate their faith through their conduct and influence in society.

Apostle Obuobi performed the dedication on Friday, August 14, 2026, at Kibi in the Eastern Region.

The newly dedicated auditorium marks a significant milestone in the history of Kibi Central Assembly, which began in 1955 with a small group of believers.

During the service the General Secretary preached a sermon titled “The Christian Life in the Public Space, explaining that the Church had been called out of the world by God and sent back into it to bring transformation, stressing that there should be no gap between Christians’ faith and practice, doctrine and ethics, confession and lifestyle, or private religiosity and public morality.

“Our works must authenticate our faith,” he emphasised, urging believers to carry the fragrance of their transformed lives into every sphere of society.

Using Jesus’ description of believers as the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world,” Apostle Obuobi said Christians must preserve society from decay and corruption while driving away darkness through their godly influence.

Drawing lessons from Nehemiah and Daniel, he highlighted integrity, excellence, prayerfulness and godly character as essential qualities for Christians seeking to make an impact in the public space.

He further reminded Christians of their identity as citizens of both earth and heaven, describing them as ambassadors of Christ, a royal and priestly people, and prophets to the nations. He urged believers to develop deep roots in Christ through prayer, fasting, studying the Word and other spiritual disciplines.

Apostle Obuobi also stressed the need for Christians to live out the Word, citing Ezra’s commitment to study, practise and teach God’s law.

The Kibi Central auditorium project, initiated through years of sacrifice by successive leaders and members, was completed at a total cost of GH¢2,444,181.58, with support from the Church’s Headquarters, the Suhum Area, Kibi District and the local assembly.

The facility is expected to serve as a centre for worship, prayer, discipleship and evangelism, while equipping believers to extend the transforming influence of the Gospel beyond the church auditorium and into society.

The Ahwiaa District of The Church of Pentecost, under the Old Tafo Area, has held a retirement service in honour of Pastor Joseph Boachie Agyemang and his wife, Mrs. Georgina Boachie Agyemang, after 36 years of active ministry.

The service, held on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at the fully packed Ahwiaa Central Auditorium, brought together church leaders, Area Heads, retired ministers, members of the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council, Nananom, ministers and their wives from various regions.

The event was held under the chairmanship of the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, who also officiated the service.

Speaking on the theme, “Meekness and Rest,” Apostle Nyamekye highlighted the life and character of Pastor Joseph Boachie Agyemang, describing him as a meek, committed and resilient minister whose service was worthy of emulation.

Referencing Matthew 5:3–11, Apostle Nyamekye reminded the congregation of Christ’s teaching that “the meek shall inherit the earth.”

He observed that, contrary to the values taught in Scripture, the world was increasingly witnessing cruelty instead of mercy, corruption instead of righteousness and quarrels instead of peace.

According to him, these challenges were evident in society and, to some extent, within the church.

Citing Numbers 12:2–3, Apostle Nyamekye encouraged members and officers of the church not to seek attention or recognition in their service to God.

He urged them to serve with humility, stressing that those who remained meek and faithful would ultimately be exalted and granted a befitting rest.

During his ministerial journey, Pastor Boachie Agyemang served in several stations, including Aworowa in the Techiman Area, Anyinam, Sunyani, Akrade in the Agormanya Area, Offinso, Achimfo and Madina-La Nkwantanang in the Greater Accra Region.

He also served on various area committees in different capacities, including Area Executive Member, Chairperson of PENTSOS, Chairman of the Pensions Committee and Chieftaincy Ministry Coordinator.

Affectionately known as Osofo Boachie Agyemang, he was described as a distinguished man of God whose integrity was evident in both his personality and character.

The Church of Pentecost Supports Tema Newtown Flood Victims

by with No Comment Church NewsOther NewsTop Stories

The Newtown District under the Tema Area of The Church of Pentecost has provided financial and material support to families affected by recent flooding in the community.

The relief intervention, held on Sunday, August 9, 2026, was organised under the leadership of the District Minister, Pastor Timothy Afum Adipah, and the district executive committee to help affected church members and residents cope with losses resulting from the floods.

The recent torrential rains caused flooding in parts of Tema Newtown, leaving several homes inundated and resulting in the destruction of household belongings and other personal property. Some families were also displaced, creating significant financial and emotional difficulties for affected households.

In response, the district mobilised resources to provide immediate assistance to those whose homes and livelihoods were affected.

Each beneficiary received a financial relief package to help meet urgent needs, including basic household expenses and minor repairs, as well as essential household items. The packages included food supplies, hygiene products and other domestic necessities.

Speaking at the presentation, Pastor Timothy Afum Adipah said the intervention reflected the Church’s commitment to demonstrating the love of Christ through practical support for people in need.

“True ministry extends beyond the pulpit; it is felt in our willingness to wipe away the tears of those who suffer.”

He described the assistance as a modest expression of God’s love and encouraged the affected families not to lose hope as they work to rebuild their lives.

Some beneficiaries expressed appreciation to the district leadership for the timely intervention, saying the support would help ease the burden created by the floods.

The initiative forms part of the district’s broader pastoral and community support efforts as affected households continue with clean-up and rehabilitation activities.

The Tema Newtown District has pledged to continue providing spiritual, moral and material support to affected families as they work towards recovery.

Pastor George Prah Amonoo Bows Out After 32 Years in Ministry

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Pastor George Nana Kwesi Prah Amonoo has retired from active pastoral ministry as a District Minister of The Church of Pentecost after 32 years of dedicated service.

A colourful farewell service was held in his honour on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at the M.K. Yeboah Memorial Temple of the New Tafo District.

The service brought together church leaders, dignitaries, family members, friends and congregants from Ghana and other countries where Pastor Amonoo served during his ministry.

The event was officiated by the International Missions Director of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Agyemang Berkoe, supported by the New Tafo Area Head, Apostle Daniel Yeboah Nsaful; Apostle Dr. Samuel Yaw Antwi (Rtd.), former Area Head for Cape Coast and former Board Chairman of the Pent Media Centre; and the entire pastorate of the New Tafo Area.

Speaking on the topic, “What Will We Get?”, Apostle Berkoe based his sermon on Matthew 19:27, where the Apostle Peter asked Jesus Christ about the reward for those who had left everything to follow Him.

Apostle Berkoe explained that following and serving Christ came with a cost, stressing that one must be prepared to pay a price to gain a price.

He noted that the sacrifices involved in Christian service could sometimes be enormous and might require individuals to surrender their lives for the sake of the gospel.

The International Missions Director, however, assured the congregation that God would reward everyone who remained faithful in His service, regardless of the sacrifices involved.

He acknowledged that the Christian journey could sometimes be difficult but encouraged believers not to give up, saying God would ultimately reward their commitment and service.

Pastor Amonoo served as District Minister in several locations, including Nakpanduri in the Bolga Area, Osu in the Greater Accra Region, Agona Swedru in the Central Region, Firestone Worship Centre in the Madina Area, Darkuman in the Kaneshie Area and New Tafo in Kumasi.

He also served as Personal Assistant to the International Missions Director at the General Headquarters of The Church of Pentecost.

He was subsequently assigned to missionary work in Finland and Denmark, as well as Botswana.

The New Tafo District Executive Committee described Pastor Amonoo as a warm, approachable and dedicated minister whose ministry was characterised by holiness, faith and discipleship.

The committee also noted that he demonstrated a profound spiritual intimacy with God throughout his ministry.

In an interview with the Pent Media Centre after the service, Pastor Amonoo advised upcoming ministers to remain closely connected to God and avoid relying solely on their own understanding.

He urged them to depend on the Word of God and prayer in the discharge of their ministerial responsibilities.

During his six-year ministry in Old Tafo, Pastor Amonoo ordained 13 elders, 13 deacons and 13 deaconesses. He also led 1,731 people to Christ, including 331 children.

Haatso Area Virtuous Ladies Empowered with Leadership and Impact Skills

by with No Comment Church NewsPENTSOSTop Stories

More than 500 young women from 13 districts under the Haatso Area of The Church of Pentecost have been equipped with essential skills to strengthen their leadership capacity and prepare them for greater impact in the church, workplace and society.

The participants were drawn from the Virtuous Ladies, the young ladies’ wing of the Women’s Ministry, and attended the 2026 Empowerment Conference held at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC)-Atomic in Accra under the theme, “Empowered to Fulfil My Calling.”

Speaking at the conference, Past President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Ghana (ICAG) and the Association of Women Accountants Ghana, Deaconess Angela Peasah, urged the young ladies to believe in themselves and embrace failure as part of the growth process.

She stressed that success is a gradual journey and encouraged the participants to take advantage of opportunities to learn, build soft skills, pursue internships, seek mentorship and engage in volunteer activities as they prepare for future leadership roles.

Mrs Peasah, who is also a Board Member of Absa Bank, shared her personal journey and attributed a major turning point in her life to a foundation anchored in salvation, the Word of God and prayer.

The conference focused on five key soft skills: effective communication, leadership, conflict management, emotional intelligence and public speaking.

The sessions were facilitated by experienced professionals, including Mrs Rita Sarpong Asante, Mrs Mary Tobbin Osei, Mrs Salomey Armah, Mrs Ewurafua Boafo and Mrs Emma Adwoa Appiaa Osei-Duah.

Participants were taken through practical strategies for effective communication, purposeful leadership, peaceful conflict resolution, emotional regulation and confident public speaking.

Haatso Area Head, Apostle William Boakye Agyarko, commended the Haatso Area Women’s Ministry and Virtuous Ladies leadership for organising the conference and encouraged the young women to use the skills acquired to “possess the nations” in every sphere of their lives.

The event also featured an awards session, where the immediate past Haatso Area Women’s Ministry executives, led by Deaconess Mrs Charlotte Amegatse, were honoured for their service. The immediate past Virtuous Ladies Lead Coordinator, Deaconess Mrs Mary Tobbin Osei, was also recognised for her role in birthing and nurturing the initiative.

Atomic Hills District emerged as the Most Engaging District and the district with the Highest Participation.

The conference also featured an exhibition showcasing businesses and products owned by some of the participants.

Gov’t lauds The Church of Pentecost for Sheltering 500 Ghanaians in South Africa

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With ChairmanTop Stories

The government of Ghana has expressed its profound appreciation to The Church of Pentecost for providing shelter and humanitarian support to about 500 Ghanaians who fled their homes and businesses following renewed xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, conveyed the government’s gratitude on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, when he led a delegation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on a courtesy call on the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, at the Church’s headquarters in Accra.

The Church’s intervention provided a critical safe haven for the affected Ghanaians, who were accommodated at three branches of The Church of Pentecost in South Africa — Kempton Park, Johannesburg and Pretoria West.

During their stay, the Church provided the evacuees with accommodation, food, clothing and other essential support while arrangements were made for their evacuation to Ghana.

According to Hon. Ablakwa, the intervention came at a critical moment when hundreds of Ghanaians, displaced by the attacks, had lost access to their homes, shops and sources of livelihood and had nowhere else to turn.

He commended the leadership, pastors and members of The Church of Pentecost who coordinated the humanitarian response, noting that the Church went beyond providing accommodation to also cater for the welfare and upkeep of the affected nationals.

The Minister said the government was particularly grateful for the Church’s willingness to open its facilities to Ghanaians at a time of crisis and uncertainty.

The remaining Ghanaians being hosted at the Church’s Johannesburg branch are expected to be evacuated as part of the final phase of the government’s evacuation exercise.

Receiving the government delegation, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye welcomed the gesture of appreciation and described the visit as appropriate and encouraging.

He reaffirmed the Church’s commitment to supporting people in times of crisis, irrespective of their religious or national background and called for greater collaboration between the ministry of foreign affairs and The Church of Pentecost as both institutions are key stakeholders in the missions enterprise.

The Chairman said the Church considers such humanitarian interventions part of its responsibility to serve humanity and contribute to the welfare of people in distress.

Mount Olives Worship Centre Dedicates GH₵2.68 Million Children’s Auditorium

by with No Comment Children's MinistryChurch NewsTop Stories

The Mount Olives Worship Centre in the Odorkor Area of The Church of Pentecost has dedicated a newly constructed Children’s Auditorium to the glory of God.

The dedication service, held on Sunday, August 9, 2026, was officiated by the Odorkor Area Head, Apostle Isaac Tetteh Juddah, with support from the Area pastorate and their wives.

The construction of the facility was initiated in response to the growing needs of the Children’s Ministry at the Worship Centre. The Resident Minister, Pastor Dr. Felix Dela Klutse, together with the Presbytery, envisioned a dedicated facility that would provide a safe, conducive and spiritually enriching environment for children to worship, learn and grow in their faith.

Construction of the auditorium commenced on September 24, 2024, with Fedems Group undertaking the construction and providing the architectural designs at no cost to the Church. The project received significant support from the church leadership, members and other stakeholders and was completed in August 2026.

The completed facility, valued at GH₵2,680,554.76, comprises separate washroom facilities for boys and girls, Sunday School classrooms, a conference room, a Pastor’s Office and a District Clerk’s Office.

Preaching on the topic, “God Is Building You to Transform Society Through You,” with scriptures from 1 Peter 2:4–5, 1 Corinthians 3:16–17 and 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, Apostle Isaac Tetteh Juddah likened the construction of the auditorium to God’s work in the life of a believer.

He explained that just as a building requires a solid foundation, believers must remain firmly rooted in Christ. He noted that God, as the divine Architect and Builder, uniquely designs each person for a specific purpose and urged Christians not to compare themselves with others.

Drawing from Psalm 127:1 and 1 Corinthians 3:6–7, Apostle Juddah encouraged believers to yield themselves fully to God and allow the Holy Spirit to shape them for His purposes. He noted that difficult circumstances, corrections and other painful experiences may form part of God’s shaping process and should not be interpreted as rejection.

He urged Christians to remain submitted to God’s Word and the Holy Spirit, trusting Him through every stage of their spiritual development and allowing themselves to become vessels through whom God can transform society.

Achimota Area PENTSOS Donates GH¢25,400 Items to Ofankor Police Station

by with No Comment Church NewsPENTSOSTop Stories

The Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS) of the Achimota Area of The Church of Pentecost has donated items worth GH¢25,400 to the Ofankor Police Station to improve its working environment and support effective service delivery.

The donation, which formed part of activities marking the 2026 PENTSOS Awareness Weekend, included office furniture, an air conditioner, 3D signage, waiting chairs and other essential items needed by the station.

Presenting the items, Pastor Dr. Job Wiredu, Ofankor District Pastor and representative of the Achimota Area Head, Apostle Joseph Danzerl, said the intervention was in line with the Church’s commitment to addressing both the spiritual and physical needs of people.

He cited the biblical account of Jesus feeding the five thousand, as recorded in Matthew 14:13–21, noting that Christ demonstrated the importance of combining spiritual ministry with practical support for people’s physical needs.

Pastor Dr. Wiredu said the Church was therefore committed to following Christ’s example by complementing the preaching of the Gospel with interventions that contribute to the wellbeing of communities and institutions.

Receiving the items on behalf of the Ofankor Police Station, Superintendent Kingsley Kofi Kanda, Mile 7 District Police Commander, commended PENTSOS and The Church of Pentecost for their continued support to the Ghana Police Service.

He, however, appealed to the Church to consider supporting the construction of a new police station, explaining that the existing facility was in a weak condition and prone to flooding.

According to him, a new facility would provide a safer and more suitable working environment for police officers and enhance their ability to serve residents within the area.

The donation was also attended by Pastor Joseph Ndanyinanseh, New Achimota District Pastor and PENTSOS Pastors’ Representative; Elder Gabriel Koranteng Gyasi, Area PENTSOS Chairman; members of the PENTSOS committee and other church officers. The intervention forms part of PENTSOS’ community engagement and social intervention initiatives aimed at supporting institutions and contributing to the wellbeing of communities within the operational areas of The Church of Pentecost.

Apostle Appiah Authors Three Books Ahead Of Retirement web

Apostle Appiah Authors Three Books Ahead Of Retirement

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Madina Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Martin Seth Appiah, has launched three new books ahead of his retirement from the full-time ministry of the Church, after 37 years of service.

The books titled Spiritual Reminiscence, Divine Direction and Heaven Awaits the Bride of the Lamb have forewords written by Apostles Dr Daniel Okyere Walker (former Executive Council Member of the Church/First Vice Chancellor of Pentecost University), Prof Opoku Onyinah and Dr Eric Nyamekye (immediate past Chairman and current Chairman of the Church), respectively.

The books were dedicated and unveiled by Apostle Dr Brigadier General B. G. Kumi-Woode, Director-General of Religious Affairs for the Ghana Armed Forces. He was assisted by Apostle Prof Opoku Onyinah, and other respected clergymen at the East Legon Worship Centre on Sunday, June 28, 2026.

 Addressing the congregation, Apostle M. S. Appiah said the books are a product of his walk with God, years of pastoral ministry and his journey of faith and diligently waiting on the Lord for direction.

“Spiritual Reminiscence chronicles my early beginnings, call into leadership, ministry and missionary journeys and impact. Divine Direction addresses fundamental Christian truths concerning God’s will and purpose for humanity, and Heaven Awaits the Bride places emphasis on death, salvation, holiness and glorification of the saints ahead of Christ’s return,” he stated.

The three books were reviewed by Apostle Dr Dan Walker, Prophet Kwasi Annor Asante and Apostle Dr Dela Quampah who commended the author for his doctrinal soundness and practical writing style making it an easy read.  

Apostle Dr Walker who did the main review of Spiritual Reminiscence with an ‘academic lens’ described the autobiography as a practical guide with wisdom, spiritual insight in managing church conflict, revealing God’s faithfulness and transformational power in a life devoted to service and godly character.

Prophet Annor who reviewed Heaven Awaits the Bride of the Lamb, noted that the bookwas birthed at the ‘graveyard.’ He emphasised that believers ought to have an eschatological longing and not be comfortable with the here and now while seeing salvation as nuptial and not judicial as Christ will come not to acquit the saints but to secure his bride.

Apostle Dr Quampah also presented on Divine Direction, describing the book’s focus on sources of direction – satanic, human and God as timely as it addresses the contention among theologians and Christians. He commended the author’s style of clarity, confidence and the high level of engagement to drum home and keep focus on God as the only perfect source of direction aptly resolving the controversy surrounding the receipt and issuance of directions.

In a brief remark, Apostle Prof. Opoku Onyinah lauded the author for embracing the discipline required to effectively combine the work of ministry with the craft of writing.

“I want to acknowledge Apostle Appiah for availing himself to write these books. I am very happy. Let me also encourage the culture of writing gradually emerging in the Church. I pray for impactful books to be written to transfer power and knowledge of God to humanity,” he said.

Apostle Martin Seth Appiah served as District Pastor in Otumi, Jacobu and Bohyen; a missionary in Onitsha and Lagos, Nigeria and as National Head in South Africa and the United Kingdom with apostolic oversight for Mozambique, Botswana, Lesotho, Seychelles, Greece and Israel, among others. In Ghana, he has served as Area Head for Berekum, Obuasi and Madina. He will proceed on retirement on August 23, 2026.

God Ends 20-Year Wait As Elder, Wife Welcome First Child

by with No Comment Church NewsTestimoniesTop Stories

The faithfulness of God has once again been demonstrated in the lives of Elder Abraham Konlan and his wife, Deaconess Cecilia Konlan of the Adonikrom Assembly in the New Yakasi District of the Asankrangwa Area of The Church of Pentecost, who have welcomed their first child after 20 years of marriage.

The couple, who solemnised their marriage on February 19, 2006, had waited two decades for the fruit of the womb despite undergoing several medical examinations and treatments. According to them, doctors consistently confirmed that both were medically healthy and capable of having children, yet conception remained elusive.

Beyond the medical journey, they also endured years of emotional pain, ridicule, and insensitive comments from some relatives and members of their community. However, they remained steadfast in their faith and continued serving God faithfully in the Church.

Their breakthrough came during the 2025 Christmas Convention of The Church of Pentecost when Elder Konlan said he heard a distinct voice in his spirit declaring, “Elder, the time is up.”

Shortly afterwards, during a Throne of Grace prayer meeting where couples trusting God for children were invited for special prayers, Elder Konlan responded in faith, believing that God was about to intervene.

Not long after the prayer session, he noticed changes in his wife’s condition and encouraged her to take a pregnancy test. The initial test at a CHPS compound returned positive. A subsequent examination at the Enchi Government Hospital confirmed that Deaconess Cecilia Konlan was pregnant.

The couple shared the joyous news with their District Minister, who encouraged them to remain confident in the Lord, assuring them that the God who had begun the good work would bring it to completion.

Despite experiencing some challenges during the pregnancy, God sustained both mother and child throughout the period.

The couple safely welcomed a healthy baby girl, bringing an end to 20 years of waiting and transforming their sorrow into joy.

Their testimony stands as a powerful reminder that God’s promises never fail and that His timing is always perfect. It also serves as an encouragement to believers to remain steadfast in faith, knowing that seasons of delay are not necessarily seasons of denial.

With hearts full of gratitude, Elder Abraham and Deaconess Cecilia Konlan give all glory to God for what they describe as His miraculous intervention in their lives.
