Pentecost University, The Other Sheep Ministry To Train Believers For Interfaith Evangelism

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

Pentecost University has introduced a six-week online short course, dubbed Certificate in Christian Outreach to People of Other Faiths, aimed at equipping believers to effectively engage individuals from diverse religious backgrounds through informed and Spirit-led evangelism.

The programme is being offered in collaboration with the School of Theology and Missions (PSTM), a department of the university, and The Other Sheep Ministry of The Church of Pentecost. It was officially launched during a virtual meeting held on September 3, 2025.

Launching the course, Apostle Dr Christian Tsekpoe, Head of the Department of Ministerial Formation and Training at Pentecost University, explained that the Kingdom business is expanding, and that the leadership of the Church has established The Other Sheep Ministry to bring those outside the fold into the flock of God.

He stated that the course has been designed to equip Christians who are eager to study the Scriptures, teach them effectively, and adopt the right approach in reaching out to those outside the Christian faith.

Evangelist Abraham Addae Agyemang, National Coordinator of The Other Sheep Ministry, announced that the virtual course will commence on September 30, with sessions to be held on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings. The final week will feature an in-person session, culminating in a project presentation on November 1.

Encouraging believers to take advantage of the programme and enrol, Evangelist Agyemang reminded participants of the eternal reward awaiting faithful stewards of the Gospel.

During a question-and-answer session, some of the first batch of trainees engaged with facilitators, seeking clarity on various aspects of the course.

Delivering an exhortation on the theme, “How can I understand, unless someone explains it to me” based on Acts 8:26–30, Pastor Dr Emmanuel Awude, a lecturer at the university, reflected on the biblical encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, who was reading about the suffering Messiah but lacked understanding.

Drawing lessons from the passage, he noted that many individuals from other faiths are reading about Jesus Christ but do not comprehend what they read.

“There are many reading about Jesus but do not understand – unless someone explains it to them,” he said, adding, “That’s why we must be like Philip – empowered by the Holy Spirit and rooted in apostolic doctrine to explain Christ to others.”

He referenced major religions such as Islam, Hinduism, and Judaism, where many seekers of truth lack the interpretive guidance of the Gospel. Pastor Awude urged believers to rise to this evangelistic calling, emphasising that the Spirit of God and apostolic fellowship are essential for understanding and communicating the Gospel effectively.

God Has Not Finished With You – Apostle Nana Yaw Agyei Encourages Women

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesWomen's Ministry

The Area Head of the newly created Sakumono Area of The Church of Pentecost,Apostle Samuel Nana Yaw Agyei, has called on Christians to remain steadfast in their faith, assuring them that God has not finished with them yet.

Speaking at the maiden meeting of the Area Women’s Ministry, Apostle Nana Yaw Agyei encouraged the women to place their hope in Christ for a brighter tomorrow.

Drawing from Luke 1:30 and John 19:25-27, he indicated that divine favour is often accompanied by trials.

“One of the signs that God has blessed an individual,” he noted, “Is the opposition they encounter. Those who are highly favoured frequently endure hardship, for God has set them apart for greatness.”

He cited Bible characters who triumphed after hardship. David had to fight lions before defeating Goliath. Ruth journeyed great distances before finding her destiny. Hannah travailed in prayer for years before God opened her womb. Mary, though highly favoured, endured the agony of watching her Son crucified.

Reflecting on Mary’s pain, he asked: “How would you feel if your own son were hanging on the cross, bleeding, while the team had scattered and God seemed silent?”

He reminded the women that silence is also an answer from God, saying, “God answers prayers in four ways: yes, no, wait, and silence. When God is silent, He is still moving things in our favour.”

Apostle Agyei also described Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel. According to him, though the vision was fearsome, the message was filled with grace, ‘You are highly favoured.’

He emphasised that there is a difference between favour and high favour. “Mary’s miraculous pregnancy could not be explained naturally, but with the Holy Ghost, what seems impossible becomes possible.”

The angel even gave Mary a reference point, pointing to Elizabeth’s miraculous pregnancy, stressing that “When the Holy Spirit is in action, impossibilities bow.”

Apostle Samuel Nana Yaw Agyei reminded the women that favour comes at a cost. Just as Mary bore the pain of her calling, Christians must also endure trials with faith, knowing that God is shaping their testimonies.

The Director of the Pent Media Centre, Pastor Dr Felix Dela Klutse, has underscored the urgent need for Africa to move beyond extractive, carbon-intensive models of development and fully embrace the green economy.

Speaking at the maiden West African Green Economy Roundtable & Awards, held on September 24, 2025, at the Alisa Hotel, Pastor Dr Klutse noted that the region stands at a critical crossroads where economic growth must be balanced with environmental sustainability.

He highlighted the threats posed by rapid urbanisation, industrialisation, and climate change, which continue to undermine long-term prosperity and social well-being.

He indicated that real change begins with real conversation, stressing that the event aimed to facilitate a collaborative marketplace of ideas, innovations, and partnerships to accelerate the region’s transition to sustainable development.
