The wife of the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Mrs Juliana Korkor Obuobi, has called on ministers’ wives to take an active interest in the activities of the Women and Children’s Ministries at their respective duty stations.
Speaking on the topic, ‘Supporting Your Husband’s Ministry through the Women and Children’s Ministries’ at the Ministers’ Wives Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh near Kasoa, Mrs Obuobi underscored the vital role ministers’ wives play in the success of these ministries.
‘As ministerial partners, ministers’ wives must support their husbands’ ministries by actively engaging in the Women’s and Children’s Ministries and providing the necessary support for their programmes and activities,’ she stated.
Mrs Obuobi clarified that although a minister’s wife is neither a deputy nor an assistant pastor, she holds a significant responsibility in ensuring the success of these ministries. She encouraged them to collaborate with ministry leaders in developing programmes that align with the church’s annual theme and vision.
She also advised ministers’ wives to avoid organising events labelled as ‘Osofomaame’s programmes,’ and instead work in unity with ministry leaders to implement well-coordinated activities.
‘Conduct yourselves with humility and love, be punctual at meetings, and contribute meaningfully to discussions to positively impact the ministry,’ she urged.
Mrs Obuobi further encouraged the ministers’ wives to be actively involved in the Children’s Ministry. She suggested attending training sessions for teachers to better understand the dynamics of children’s services and to advocate for the needs and concerns of the ministry.
‘Our children are very perceptive. They know they can trust the Osofomaame and share their concerns with her,’ she said, adding, ‘Attend their meetings, interact with them, give them hugs, and make them feel valued. By doing so, we nurture them and help them feel a sense of belonging in the church.’
