The Home and Urban Mission (HUM) Directorate of The Church of Pentecost on September 22, 2022, organised a day’s conference for HUM Leaders in the Central Region.

The meeting, which took place at the Hallelujah Temple, Abasraba District in the Winneba Area, sought to take stock of the activities of the ministry over the past year and the strategies for achieving the Vision 2023 agenda of the church.

In a short exhortation, Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo, the National Co-ordinator for HUM, cited Colossians 3:23 and Ecclesiastics 9:10 and urged HUM workers to continually work for the Lord with all their might, and not under compulsion.

“For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. Hence, work as not working for any man, but for God,” he added.

Giving a presentation on “HUM Yesterday, Today and the Future,” which touched on the call for HUM, HUM’s strategic goals, the gains made so far, and the gaps, among others, Apostle Kwafo said that HUM was established to focus on “neglected mission field” to intentionally and strategically evangelise, win souls, nurture them, and plant churches.

He stated that HUM engages in home missions, urban missions and missions to unreached people groups.

Touching on the strategic goals of ministry, he said that HUM seeks to educate stakeholders at all levels on its activities, establish more mono-ethnic churches, restructure existing Northern Outreach Ministry (NOM) into HUM, provide Christo-centric mother-tongue materials, plant churches in Zongo communities, among others.

Despite the successes chalked by HUM, the National Co-ordinator revealed some gaps in the ministry that ought to be addressed by all and sundry. Among them are lack of massive acceptance by both the clergy and the laity, low active participation at the local level, lack of adequate training at the grassroots, low outreaches to Zongo communities, among others.

He, however, advised HUM workers to organise meetings at all levels and engage in all forms of evangelism to African migrants and foreign nationals in the country, unreached people groups, street children, Northerners in the South, commercial sex workers, ghettos, etc.

Pastor Joel Beddim, the HUM Co-ordinator for Mankessim Area, took participants through the 2022 First Half Comprehensive Report Analysis for the Areas.

Probationary Overseer James Amoah-Mensah, the HUM Pastor for La Sector, took participants through the 2022 National Statistics Report Analysis to help them appreciate the work done so far.

Apostle Agyei Kwafo used the occasion to thank all HUM leaders for their tireless efforts and unflinching support for the ministry and its activities.

In attendance were Pastors Emmanuel Foster Asamoah (Winneba), Alhassan Kara (Cape Coast), Abraham Gyabaah (Twifo Praso), and Lord Awuku (Agona Swedru), Bismark Aidan (Winneba).
