The Asokwa Area Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost has donated 120 plastic chairs to three assemblies in the Kwanwoma District of the church to support their expanding congregations.

The presentation, led by Mrs Faith Dzemekey (wife of the Asokwa Area Head), took place during a prayer service organised by the Area Women’s Ministry at the Kyekyewere Assembly on October 1, 2025.

Deaconess Rose Agyei, the Area Women’s Ministry Leader, who personally financed the purchase of 20 chairs, explained that the initiative was informed by a month-long visitation across the District in August. During these visits, the team identified a significant shortage of chairs, particularly at the Kyekyewere New Site, where the assemblies were frequently compelled to hire chairs for Sunday services and special events.

The beneficiary assemblies included Kyekyewere New Site, Bekwamin, and Kyekyewere Central.

Receiving the donation, Pastor George Owusu, Kwanwoma District Minister, expressed deep gratitude to the Asokwa Area leadership of the Women’s Ministry for their generosity and commitment to the growth of the church. He noted the District’s rapid expansion, with membership rising from 1,500 to 1,900 in two years. He also appealed for support in acquiring land for assemblies currently worshipping in uncompleted private buildings, citing high land costs as a major challenge.

Deaconess Deborah Ahenkora gave an exhortation on the theme, “Pray Without Ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Matthew 7:7–11), which was followed by a fervent prayer session led by Deaconess Joyce Obeng.

Also present were the executive committee members of the Area Women’s Ministry, including Deaconess Alexandria Siabuor (Secretary), Deaconess Nana Yaa Serwaa, and Mrs Elizabeth Donkor.

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.
