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.

The Women’s Ministry of the Kasoa Area of The Church of Pentecost has donated assorted items to the Children’s and Maternity Wards of the Mother & Child Hospital in Kasoa.

The donation, made earlier today, included detergents, toiletries, bar and liquid soaps, diapers, antiseptics (Dettol), sachets of water, bottled water, soft drinks, and an undisclosed amount of cash.

The presentation was made during a brief ceremony led by Mrs. Irene Asare (wife of the Kasoa Area Head) and Deaconess Mrs. Dora Dapaah (Kasoa Area Women’s Ministry Leader), together with a delegation from the ministry.

Speaking at the event, Deaconess Dora Dapaah explained that the gesture aligns with the church’s strategic vision to positively impact society. She noted that the donation was prompted by the unique challenges many mothers face during the early stages of childbirth.

“As mothers ourselves, we understand how difficult this period can be. That is why women across the Kasoa Area came together and decided to support new mothers and their babies in this small but meaningful way,” she said.

Delivering a brief exhortation, Mrs. Irene Asare encouraged health workers to make a lasting impact in their line of duty. Citing the biblical example of Dorcas, she reminded them that people are often remembered for their good deeds.

“Your acts of kindness may go unnoticed today, but they are not forgotten. The Bible teaches us that those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed,” she said.

Receiving the items on behalf of the hospital, the Medical Superintendent, Dr. Dzodzegbe Apetorgbor, expressed deep appreciation for the kind gesture and prayed for God’s blessings upon the women.

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.’
