PRISACON 2026 Underway At PCC

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The maiden edition of the Prison Associates’ Conference (PRISACON), organised by the Prison Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, is currently underway at the Pentecost Convention Centre in Gomoa-Yesukrom, near Kasoa in the Central Region of Ghana.

The conference, which is being held under the theme, “The Prison Associate Transformed By The Gospel And Power of The Holy Spirit For A Better Life” (Colossians 1:4-6, Philemon 10:11, 1 Samuel 10:6), is expected to end on Friday, May 22, 2026.

Delivering the opening address, the Chairman of the Prison Ministry Committee of the Church, Apostle ADP James Tetteh, described the conference as a historic gathering that would leave lasting memories in the minds of participants while helping them discover deeper meaning and purpose in life.

According to him, the Prison Ministry is shifting greater attention towards the reintegration of former inmates into society. He explained that although previous interventions largely focused on persons in confinement, the ministry is now placing stronger emphasis on supporting individuals who have completed their sentences and are seeking to rebuild their lives.

Apostle Tetteh observed that some individuals unfortunately leave prison in worse conditions than when they entered. He, however, stressed that the Church remains committed to demonstrating the love of Christ to all persons, irrespective of their background or circumstances.

Quoting the words of Jesus Christ, “I was in prison and you came to take care of me,” he noted that the Church’s mission extends beyond the walls of the church auditorium to people who are often neglected and rejected by society.

He further indicated that the ultimate answer to the challenges confronting society is the gospel of Jesus Christ accompanied by the demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit. According to him, the Church must continue to reach out to people bound by sin and social exclusion while helping offenders to learn from their mistakes, rebuild their lives, and successfully reintegrate into society.

Speakers billed for the conference include Apostle Eric Nyamekye (Chairman, The CoP); Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi (General Secretary, The CoP); Apostle A. N. Y. Kumi-Larbi (Ghana Prison Service Council Chairman); Apostle ADP James Tetteh (Chairman, Prison Ministry Committee); and Pastor DSP Thomas Owusu Brefo (National Coordinator, Prison Ministry).

Other speakers include Her Honour Deaconess Sarah Nkansah Bempong (Circuit Court Judge and Prison Ministry Advocate), Professor Oppong Asante (Professor of Psychology, Department of Psychology, University of Ghana), DDGP Sylvester Rabbles (Retd) and Elder John Coffie.

The conference forms part of the broader vision of the Church to support rehabilitation, restoration, and reintegration efforts among inmates and ex-convicts through the transforming power of the gospel.

The Northern Sector of the Ministry to Persons With Disabilities (MPWDs) of The Church of Pentecost, has partnered with Able Hands Project to provide free prosthetic hands to persons living with disabilities both within and outside the church.

The initiative forms part of efforts to restore dignity and improve the quality of life of beneficiaries by equipping them with functional prosthetic hands.

The intervention is expected to help recipients become more independent and reduce the burden often associated with physical disabilities.

Speaking in an interview, the Northern Sector MPWDs Coordinator, Pastor Joshua Koku Semador, explained that the gesture aligns with the Church’s commitment to its Corporate Social Responsibility.

“This gesture forms part of the Church’s Corporate Social Responsibility to give dignity to persons with disabilities who struggle to perform various activities. Although it is expensive, it forms part of the Church’s vision to support and uplift them,” he stated.

He further revealed that the prosthetic hands provided come in three different functional folds, allowing beneficiaries to easily switch between them depending on the specific task they intend to perform.

Also speaking, the representative of Able Hands Project, Garth Gulley, expressed his excitement about the collaboration.

“I am happy to collaborate with the MPWDs of The Church of Pentecost to help provide dignity, independence and a better way of living for these individuals through free prosthetics,” he said.

Some beneficiaries, overwhelmed with gratitude, also commended the Church for the life-changing intervention. According to them, the prosthetic hands will significantly enhance their ability to perform daily activities independently—tasks they previously could not undertake on their own.

The initiative highlights the Church’s continued commitment to inclusive support and social intervention, particularly for vulnerable groups within society.

Apostle Tawiah Charges Ministerial Students To Depend On God’s Calling, Power web.jpg

Apostle Tawiah Charges Ministerial Students To Depend On God’s Calling, Power

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Tamale Area Head and Executive Council member of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle John Budu Kobina Tawiah, has urged ministerial students to rely on God’s calling and the power of the Holy Spirit in fulfilling their ministry.

He made the call on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, during the Community Service of the Pentecost School of Theology and Mission (PSTM), where he spoke on the theme, “The Messenger of God.”

Referencing scriptures including Exodus 3:7-18, John 1:6-7, Deuteronomy 18:15-19, and 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, Apostle Tawiah explained that every genuine messenger of God is divinely called and commissioned for a specific assignment.

Using Moses as an example, he noted that ministry is not self-appointed but a divine responsibility backed by God’s authority. He added that God often raises His servants from among the people they are called to serve, making them relatable to their audience.

Apostle Tawiah also highlighted the human weaknesses of God’s messengers, referencing Moses’ feelings of inadequacy and fear. According to him, God does not necessarily call the most qualified people, but rather equips those He calls for His work.

He, therefore, encouraged the ministerial students to depend on God’s presence and enablement instead of their personal abilities, eloquence, or charisma.

Touching on the role of the Holy Spirit in ministry, the Tamale Area Head stressed that effective ministry must be accompanied by the power of God and not merely persuasive speech. He urged the students to continually seek spiritual renewal and empowerment so their ministries would produce lasting impact.

The Executive Council Member further stated that every messenger of God carries a divine message and must faithfully communicate God’s word without distortion or self-promotion.

He also underscored the importance of teamwork in ministry, citing how Aaron supported Moses in his assignment. He encouraged the students to work closely with their church executives and build dependable ministry teams as they prepare for their various stations following the 48th General Council Meetings.

Apostle Tawiah further indicated that genuine encounters with God should produce visible transformation and spiritual impact, adding that ministry should be marked by evidence of God’s presence through changed lives and spiritual growth.

The service ended with a time of prayer, as participants sought fresh empowerment, boldness, and spiritual impartation for effective ministry.

Pentecost Power Must Produce Tangible Impact – Apostle Obuobi Charges Believers web

Pentecost Power Must Produce Tangible Impact – Apostle Obuobi Charges Believers

by with No Comment Church NewsMoving With GsTop Stories

The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has stressed that the power of Pentecost must produce visible transformation and impact in the lives of believers and society at large.

According to him, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is not merely an emotional or ceremonial experience but a divine empowerment that transforms ordinary lives into extraordinary vessels for God’s purpose.

Apostle Obuobi said this when he joined the Sophia McKeown Temple under the La District on Sunday, May 17, 2026, together with his wife, Mrs Juliana Korkor Obuobi, during Day 3 of Pentecost Week 2026 — a major spiritual event on the calendar of The Church of Pentecost.

Preaching on the theme, “The Effects of the Power of Pentecost,” the General Secretary referenced Acts 2:1-4, explaining that the events of the Day of Pentecost demonstrated the manifestation of divine power through the sound of a mighty rushing wind, tongues of fire, the infilling of the Holy Spirit, and speaking in tongues.

He noted that the prophecy of Joel concerning the outpouring of the Spirit upon all flesh was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost, adding that the Holy Spirit is fundamentally the Spirit of power.

Quoting Acts 1:8, Apostle Obuobi emphasised that believers receive power through the Holy Spirit to become effective witnesses of Christ to the ends of the earth.

He further stated that one undeniable effect of Pentecost power is transformed living.

“Worthless lives become lives with meaning, ordinary lives become extraordinary, natural lives become supernatural, timid people become bold, and the weak become strong,” he stated.

Drawing lessons from the experiences of the early church, Apostle Obuobi cited the healing of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate by Peter and John as well as the extraordinary miracles performed through Apostle Paul’s handkerchiefs and aprons as evidence of the supernatural impact of Spirit-filled believers.

According to him, the power of Pentecost must always produce results.

“We cannot be walking in the power of Pentecost without an effect,” he stressed.

He explained that the Holy Spirit empowers believers not only to experience personal revival but also to make lasting impact on their generation.

Describing Pentecost as “the gateway to supernatural living,” Apostle Obuobi urged Christians to seek a fresh encounter with the Holy Spirit and live lives that demonstrate God’s power through transformation, influence, and service to humanity.

He concluded by reminding the congregation that life is ultimately about impact and not merely material gain, stressing that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to affect generations yet unborn through the gospel and righteous living.

Women Are Not Afterthoughts In God’s Plan web.jpg

Women Are Not Afterthoughts In God’s Plan  –  Mrs Joyce Siaw Intimates

by with No Comment Church NewsTop StoriesWomen's Ministry

The National Women’s Week Climax at The Church of Pentecost – Achimota English Assembly on Sunday, 10th May 2026, was filled with a strong atmosphere of worship, prayer, and spiritual renewal as the Achimota District Minister’s wife, Mrs Joyce Siaw, delivered an inspiring message under the theme: “Women Unleashed in the Power of the Holy Spirit to Preach the Gospel to Transform their World.”

Speaking from Acts 1:8, Luke 8:1, and John 4:30, Mrs Siaw passionately reminded the church that women are not afterthoughts in God’s plan, but an intentional and valuable part of His divine purpose for humanity.

Drawing from Genesis 1:27, she explained that God created both man and woman in His image, giving women purpose, grace, creativity, wisdom, and spiritual significance. According to her, whenever God desired to bring change, deliverance, or revival, women were always included in His agenda. Women therefore must never see themselves as limited or insignificant in the Kingdom of God.

Using several biblical examples, Mrs Siaw highlighted how God used women mightily throughout history. She spoke about Deborah, who led Israel with wisdom and courage, and Esther, whose boldness brought salvation to her people.

She also mentioned Mary Magdalene, emphasising that despite her past, she encountered the saving grace of Christ and became one of the first witnesses of His resurrection. Her story served as a reminder that God still has a purpose for every life regardless of past struggles. The impactful roles of Priscilla and Lydia were also highlighted as examples of women who advanced Kingdom work through service, influence, and generosity.

Mrs Siaw further emphasized that Jesus never marginalized women during His earthly ministry. Women followed Him, supported His mission, and were active participants in the spread of the Gospel.

She noted that on the Day of Pentecost, both men and women were present when the Holy Spirit was poured out, fulfilling God’s promise to pour His Spirit upon all flesh.

Explaining the theme, Mrs Joyce Siaw described being “unleashed” as being released from restraints into full spiritual expression and divine purpose. She stressed that without the Holy Spirit, believers cannot effectively fulfill God’s assignment. The Holy Spirit empowers believers with courage, wisdom, spiritual gifts, and the strength to do the impossible.

Mrs Siaw also noted that while knowledge is important, it is the transforming power of the Gospel that truly changes lives and societies. She challenged women to demonstrate God’s love, make themselves available for Kingdom service, and mentor the next generation in godliness and faith.

She concluded by encouraging the congregation to develop a deeper personal relationship with God through prayer, studying the Word, and living under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

The service had in attendance the District Minister Pastor Gabriel Siaw, the District Women Executives, The local women ministry executives and other officers of the church.

The National Coordinator for the Ministry to Teens under the Youth Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Deaconess Nana Ama Adentwi, has charged teens workers to embrace spiritual and practical preparation, noting that effective ministry begins with the worker being shaped by God.
