The Area Secretary of the Ashaiman Area of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Gideon Osei-Appau, has urged Christians to regard their workplaces as mission fields where they can demonstrate the values of God’s Kingdom and influence society for Christ.

He made the call during the opening session of the 2026 Annual Leadership Retreat of the Ashaiman Area Women’s Ministry, where he delivered a message on the theme, “My Job, My Kingdom Assignment.” Drawing inspiration from 1 Corinthians 4:1–2, he explained that every believer is a steward entrusted with responsibilities by God and must therefore remain faithful in every aspect of life, including their profession.

According to Pastor Osei-Appau, many Christians often limit their faith to church activities, forgetting that the greater part of their lives is spent at work and in the marketplace. He therefore encouraged participants to see their professions as platforms through which God can reach others and transform society.

“Whether one is a nurse, teacher, doctor, carpenter, trader, or artisan, the workplace provides daily opportunities to reflect the values of the Kingdom of God,” he noted.

He emphasised that believers must demonstrate honesty, diligence, respect, and excellence in their professional duties, stressing that the God Christians serve is a God of excellence and expects the same from His people. He also urged participants to honour commitments, respect time, and carry out their responsibilities with integrity.

Quoting the reformer Martin Luther, who observed that the whole world could be filled with the service of God and not just the church, Pastor Osei-Appau reminded the participants that professions such as nursing, teaching, carpentry, and trading are also callings through which God can reach souls.

Touching on the importance of hard work, he referenced 2 Thessalonians 3:10–11, which cautions against idleness, and encouraged believers to be productive and dependable in their workplaces.

Addressing the issue of corruption in society, Pastor Osei-Appau noted that although many Ghanaians identify as Christians, corruption remains widespread. He therefore urged believers to live as the “salt of the earth,” demonstrating integrity and righteousness in their daily work.

The message set the tone for the retreat, inspiring participants to see their professions not merely as means of livelihood but as sacred opportunities to serve God and positively impact society.

Judging was based on criteria including cleanliness, kitchen organisation, table presentation, knowledge of the dishes prepared, and taste. At the end of the keenly contested event, Deaconess Cecilia Memorial Temple (CAMT) emerged as champions with 77 points.

The programme successfully fostered unity, creativity and excellence among the women, all to the glory of God.
