The Northern Sector of the Ministry to Persons with Disabilities (MPWDs) of The Church of Pentecost, led by Pastor Joshua Korku Semador, on Sunday, October 26, 2025, donated essential items to the Tongo School for the Deaf in the Bolgatanga Area. The gesture formed part of the ministry’s mandate to demonstrate Christ’s love through practical acts of service and inclusivity.
The event brought together several dignitaries, including the Bolgatanga Area MPWDs Coordinator, Pastor Nicholas Adimah; the Tongo District Minister, Overseer Joseph Yirenkyi Duodu; the Presiding Deaconess of the Deaf Assembly, Deaconess Matilda Teni; and the Assistant Headmaster of the school, Mr. Abugri Douglas, together with members of staff and students.
During the short ceremony, Overseer Duodu shared a brief exhortation based on 1 John 5:11–12, reminding all that true life and fulfillment are found only in Jesus Christ. His message was warmly received, leading 21 students to surrender their lives to Christ, after which 15 were baptized by immersion.
The team presented items including three 15kg washing machines, two large packs of sanitary pads, and two boxes of Bibles. The donations were received with great joy and gratitude by the students and staff. Mr. Douglas, on behalf of the school, expressed profound appreciation to The Church of Pentecost for the thoughtful gesture, assuring that the items would be well maintained and put to good use.
In his closing remarks, Pastor Semador encouraged the students to pursue both academic and spiritual excellence, urging them not to view their hearing impairment as a barrier but as an opportunity to inspire others through perseverance and faith.
The exercise reflected the Church’s commitment to holistic ministry, meeting both the physical and spiritual needs of individuals, and reinforced its mission of transforming society with the values and principles of the Kingdom of God.
