The Suame Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle John Obeng Kesse, has dedicated the mission house for the Maakro District to the glory of God. The six-bedroom manse, which boasts impressive facilities such as a conference room, basement and a hall for the Women’s Ministry practical activities, was dedicated on Sunday, May 28, 2023.
Dedicating the building, Apostle Obeng Kesse, who was assisted by the District Minister, Pastor Bright Asare Junior, appreciated the immense support by the Headquarters, the Area, and the District towards the completion of the project.
In a sermon at the event, Pastor Alex Asare of Bohyen District read from Colossians 3:22-25 and spoke on the topic, “Repositioning the Local Church To Do Good Works For Maximum Impact in the Nations.”
He enlightened the congregants on the role for being a leader; a serving mandate, which comes with dedication and commitment to the cause. He also noted that being occupied with the work of God demands sacrifices, and such produces results to benefit the Church.
Pastor Alex Asare, therefore, applauded the tireless efforts of the Maakro District in putting up such a magnificent edifice.
The Maakro District was carved out of the Suame and Tarkwa Districts in 2015.
Since then, the ministers and their families have been residing in a rented apartment with series of efforts made during the time of the first District Minister, Pastor Isaac Obeng Akese, to get a plot of land to begin the construction of a mission house, but to no avail.
With continued prayers and determination, a land was acquired after which a sod-cutting and foundation stone laying ceremonies were performed in 2020 by the then Area Head, Apostle Michael Collins Asiedu (Rtd).
Present at the service were Mrs Eunice Owireduaa Kesse (wife of the Area Head), Apostle Nana Ofori (Rtd), the Area pastorate and their wives, Nana K. Gyasi, some Area Executive Members, Area Women’s Ministry Leader, and the District Executive Members.
