In a demonstration of compassion and community service, the Women’s Ministry of the Teshie-Nungua Area of The Church of Pentecost has donated essential delivery instruments and medical supplies to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of the LEKMA Polyclinic in Nungua, Accra.

The donation, made on Friday, June 13, 2025, was valued at GH¢80,000.00 and formed part of the ministry’s annual social responsibility initiative to support maternal and child healthcare.

The items include delivery instruments, sterile drums, bedsheets, and trolleys, all aimed at enhancing the quality of care in the gynaecology and children’s departments. In addition to the supplies, the ministry also undertook the renovation of the female ward to provide a more comfortable and dignified environment for mothers and their newborns during recovery.

The delegation was led by the Area Head for Teshie-Nungua, Apostle Wilberforce Nkrumah Agyeman, and included members of the pastorate.

The event coincided with the 12^th anniversary celebration of the polyclinic, adding a special touch to the occasion.

Presenting the items, Deaconess Sophia Nana Arthur, Area Women’s Ministry Lead,  stated that the initiative reflects one of the core values of The Church of Pentecost – supporting local communities.

‘Drawing from our values, we believe in serving Jesus by serving others. We seized this opportunity to stand with the women and children in our communities by providing basic medical tools to support recovery and safe delivery,’ she said.

She also revealed that the church is in the process of providing an 80KVA generator to the polyclinic to ensure uninterrupted power supply for critical care services.

The Medical Director of the LEKMA Polyclinic, Dr William Okyere-Frempong, expressed deep gratitude for the timely and generous gesture.

‘These items will go a long way in improving maternal care and equipping our staff with the tools they need to provide quality healthcare,’ he said, adding, ‘The Church of Pentecost has once again proven to be a pillar of support to this community.’

He noted that the intervention is expected to significantly boost the hospital’s capacity to deliver safe and efficient services, particularly in maternal and child health, an area of national priority.

Through this impactful gesture, the Women’s Ministry has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to community development and the well-being of vulnerable groups, a mission it has consistently upheld over the years.

Mrs Rose Dansoa Kumi-Larbi, wife of the Ashaiman Area Head and immediate past General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, has encouraged pastors’ wives to view ministerial transfers as opportunities to share both spiritual and practical gifts for the growth of the church and its members.

Speaking on the topic, ‘Preparing for Transfer and Home Management’ at the just-ended Ministers’ Wives Conference held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, Mrs Kumi-Larbi indicated that transfers are not merely administrative changes but divine strategies for redistributing God’s gifts and graces.

‘Transfers allow for the equitable distribution of giftings. It is not the pastor who is transferred, but the gifts within them, as outlined in Ephesians 4:1-13,’ she explained.

She added that transfers are essential for sustaining the ministry, fostering growth, and preventing complacency and over-familiarity in the work of the Lord.

Mrs Kumi-Larbi reminded participants that God, as the owner of the Church, reorganises His soldiers to form stronger teams.

She, therefore, stressed the importance of making adequate preparations ahead of transfers to ensure a smooth transition for incoming ministers and their families.

Highlighting the significance of the mission house, she described it as both an equipping centre and an extension of the church. She urged pastors’ wives to maintain the sanctity and cleanliness of the mission house, lamenting the neglect of basic maintenance in some cases, which often leads to costly repairs.

‘Regular maintenance prevents major damage and saves money in the long run. It also enhances safety and creates a serene atmosphere. Sometimes, we may need to use our own resources rather than relying solely on church funds,’ she noted.

She also encouraged pastors’ wives to seek God in prayer for fresh anointing, vision, direction, and both spiritual and financial resources when preparing for a transfer. Additionally, she advised them to leave the mission house in a better condition than they met it and to avoid last-minute packing.

‘Do not leave old items behind. Ensure that the next pastor can begin their ministry without inconvenience caused by your inaction,’ she cautioned.

Mrs Kumi-Larbi concluded by urging participants to be prudent stewards of the resources provided for the mission house, saying, ‘Let us learn basic food preservation techniques to avoid wastage, manage our home finances wisely, and invest some of the blessings we receive to prepare for challenging times.’

Mrs Sheila Hayfron, wife of Apostle Dr David Nyansah Hayfron, an Executive Council Member-Elect and Tarkwa Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has urged Christian couples to model their marriages and homes after Christ in order to honour God and preserve His glory.

Speaking at the ongoing Ministers’ Wives Conference 25 at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh near Kasoa, Mrs Hayfron noted that earthly Christian marriage serves as a practical representation of Christ’s relationship with the Church—a foreshadowing of the heavenly union between Christ and His bride.

Addressing over 3,000 attendees—including ministers’ wives, retired ministers’ wives, and widows of ministers—Mrs Hayfron delivered a message on the theme, ‘The Pastor’s Wife and Her Marital Life.’

She encouraged participants to view their marriages as their foremost ministry, saying, ‘We must see our marriages as our first ministry—serving our husbands and families with dedication. Let us be their prayer backbone and source of inspiration. We must also learn to cultivate contentment and avoid bitterness in our marriages.’

Mrs Hayfron underscored the importance of maintaining friendship within marriage, cautioning against the tendency to fall into rigid role-playing at the expense of genuine connection.

‘Many of us were friends with our spouses before marriage, but over time, we’ve allowed roles to replace that friendship. Let us rekindle those relationships,’ she advised.

She added: ‘Our marriages on earth are meant to reflect the heavenly marriage. They should honour God and present a true picture of His divine design to the world.’

She also warned against involving children or church members, especially those considered as family, in marital disputes. Instead, she recommended seeking guidance from mentors and professional counsellors when necessary.

Concluding her message, Mrs Sheila Hayfron stated: ‘We must help our husbands make it to heaven by creating a supportive environment that meets their emotional, psychological, and physical needs.’

The Church of Pentecost has officially begun its 3-day Ministers’ Wives Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre in Gomoa-Fetteh, near Kasoa. The event, which brings together approximately 3,000 participants, including ministers’ wives, widows of deceased ministers, and wives of retired ministers from across Ghana, is being held under the theme: ‘The Godly Woman Unleashed to Transform Her World.’

The conference, which runs until Friday, June 13, 2025, features a rich blend of fellowship, teachings, and prayer sessions designed to equip participants for spiritual growth and to strengthen their roles as partners in full-time ministry alongside their husbands.

In his opening address, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, encouraged attendees to seek a personal encounter with the Lord during the conference. He acknowledged their invaluable contributions to the ministry and proposed a new slogan for adoption:
‘Ministers’ Wives! Partnering our Husbands; Serving the Lord.’

According to the Chairman, the theme serves as a reminder of the church’s theme for the year and highlights the unique roles the participants are called to play as ministers’ wives in pursuing the church’s agenda of possessing the nations.

Dearly beloved, I thank God for the privilege to come together as ministers’ wives in such a significant gathering after so many years. For a long time, our conferences have either consisted of all ministers or have included both ministers and their wives. However, today marks a special occasion as we gather specifically for a ministers’ wives-only conference after a long while.

On behalf of the Executive Council of the church, he expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the countless sacrifices ministers’ wives continue to make in support of their husbands in doing the work of the ministry.

He, therefore, charged them not to consider the conference as business as usual, but rather commit themselves fully to gain as much as they can from the conference.

The conference will cover a wide range of topics, including: ‘The Pastor’s Wife and Her Marital Life’ byMrs Sheila Hayfron; ‘Pastoralia’by Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi; ‘Fire on the Family Altar’ by Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo; ‘The Pastor’s Wife Serving for Eternal Reward’ by Apostle Dr Daniel Okyere Walker (retd); and ‘The Godly Woman and Her Bible’ by Mrs Paulina Kuma. 

The rest are: ‘Healthy Living’ by Elder Nana Kofi Owusu, Mrs Ewurabena Antwi-Boasiako, and Dr Charlotte Ampong; ‘Supporting Your Husband’s Ministry’ by Mrs Korkor Obuobi and Mrs Juanita Nuekpe; ‘The Godly Woman and Prayer, by Mrs Vida Acheampong; and ‘Preparing for Transfer and Home Management’ by Mrs Rose Kumi-Larbi.
