The Kaneshie Area Youth Pastor and Resident Minister of the Abossey Okai Worship Centre, Pastor Fred Stephen Sarfo, has underscored the indispensable role of evangelism in sustaining the life and growth of the Church.
Speaking at the launch of the 2025 National Youth Week Celebration of The Church of Pentecost, held under the theme: “Unleashed to Go and Tell,” Pastor Sarfo emphasized that evangelism is not optional but essential to the Church’s survival.
“Every Church which isn’t interested in evangelism eventually dies along the way,” he cautioned, urging members to rekindle their passion for soul winning. He explained that the Gospel must continually flow from one believer to another, in obedience to the Great Commission that commands all Christians to “rise up and go and tell.”
Addressing the youth, Pastor Sarfo reminded them of their vital role in the Church’s mission and future. “The youth and children are the future leaders of the Church,” he stated, adding that the Church’s tomorrow depends largely on the zeal and faithfulness of its young people. “The Church is interested in everything your hands find to do for the Kingdom,” he said, encouraging them to take every opportunity to serve.
Quoting Mark 16:20, Pastor Sarfo assured the congregation of God’s abiding presence as they step out in faith to share the Gospel. He stressed that evangelism must extend beyond the pulpit and church gatherings to schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and all spheres of life.
“It is a season to go and tell, and you shouldn’t be afraid because God is with us,” he declared, urging all believers to carry the message of Christ wherever they go so that many may be reached and won for the Kingdom of God.
