Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, on Wednesday paid a pastoral visit to traders and artisans at the Kaneshie Market and the Abossey-Okai Spare Parts enclave in Accra.
The outreach, which was organised by the Workers Guild of The Church of Pentecost as part of its Workplace Outreach agenda, formed part of the church’s ongoing efforts to reach out to the business community with the gospel and demonstrate Christ’s love through fellowship, encouragement, and prayer.
The purpose of the programme was to admonish Christians to live by the values and principles of the Kingdom at their workplace and to do their business according to the biblical standard. It was also to reach out to the unsaved.
During his interactions, Apostle Dr Nyamekye engaged market women, shop owners, and mechanics, listening to their concerns and praying with them. He urged Christians to live out their faith beyond the four walls of the church, stressing that “true Christianity is demonstrated in everyday work and life.”
Preaching the gospel based on Proverbs 16:8 and Proverbs 15:16, Apostle Dr Nyamekye admonished Christians not to neglect their Christian values and principles in pursuit of profit, but rather to cherish and uphold integrity in all their dealings. He emphasised that it is better to have little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.
Apostle Emmanuel Kwasi Appiah, Director of the Evangelism Ministry of the church, noted that the initiative is in line with the church’s ‘Possessing the Nations’ agenda, which seeks to influence every sphere of society with Kingdom values and principles.
At Abossey Okai, 20 people surrendered their lives to Christ.
Expressing her gratitude, Mrs Gifty Lovelock Fianu, General Secretary of the Abossey-Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association, thanked the Chairman and the leadership of the church for their visit and support to the business community.
Key personalities present at the event were Apostle Dr Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe (La Area Head), Apostle Anthony Kwasi Mensah (Chairman of the National Executive Committee of the Workers Guild/Area Head for Abeka), Apostle Daniel Dekpor (Area Head for Kaneshie), Pastor Emmanuel Anang Kenin (National Coordinator of Workers Guild), and Mrs Mary Nyamekye (Wife of the Chairman).
