The mortal remains of the late Pastor Paul Elisha Kesse (rtd), was interred on Saturday, November 26, 2022, after a burial and memorial service was held in his honour at Abirem Methodist School Park, Kumasi, in the Ashanti region.
The solemn service, which was officiated by the New Tafo Area Head, Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku, with assistance from the Area pastorate, was attended by a host of active and retired ministers of the Church.
In a sermon on the topic: “When we die, we will rise again,” based on John 11:25-26, Apostle John Budu Kobina Tawiah, (Kwadaso Area Head), emphatically acknowledged that death is not the end of life for there is a lively hope to be enjoyed by believers after the earthly transition.
The Kwadaso Area Head revealed mysteries surrounding the next life for the faithful in Christ Jesus and called on all who have not come to know the Son of God to decide before they live to regret on the day of reckoning.
The late Pastor Paul Elisha Kesse (rtd), 74, was called into the full-time Ministry of The Church of Pentecost in 1986. He served in six duty stations including Ampaha District (1986-1990), Sepe-Buokrom District (1990-1993), Kasapin District (1993-1999), Agona Swedru District, now Chapel Square (1999-2004), Sefwi Asanwinso District (2004-2009), and Takoradi Kwesimintsim District (2009-2013).
The service, among other things, presented an opportunity for the wife, Mrs. Mary Asieduwaa Kesse, the children, and the General Council to offer glowing tributes about the deceased minister.
Pastor Paul Elisha Kesse is survived by two children.
