The Nkenkaasu District in the Offinso Area of The Church of Pentecost has organised its first mass wedding for six couples, including Elder Joseph Adom Frimpong, the 2024 Offinso North Best Farmer.
Held on Saturday, November 9, 2024, the event attracted a large crowd, inspiring many attendees to bless their marriages.
Pastor Roderick Kyere-Djan, the District Minister, shared that many people in the district had not registered their marriages for various trivial reasons.
“We realised that members were not motivated to bless their marriages. To address this, we provided intensive teachings on marriage and family life as enshrined in the Vision 2028 document. After the sessions, we invited interested members to participate, allocating most of our budget to this initiative and emphasising simplicity to show that blessing a marriage is not difficult,” he explained, adding, “This intentional focus drew the attention of many members, leading to increased participation.”
As a result, several couples who had previously hesitated to bless their marriages found renewed interest upon realising that it was not as complicated as they had thought. Six couples took the first step, and the enthusiasm for marriage blessings grew stronger after witnessing the beauty and simplicity of the ceremony.
Motivated by the success of this inaugural event, Pastor Kyere-Djan expressed gratitude to God and plans to organise similar mass weddings every six months to benefit more church members.
The event was attended by several dignitaries, including the District Pastor’s Wife, the District Executive Committee Members, Officers, representatives of the District Chief Imam, the NPP Parliamentary Candidate, and many others.
