The Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have recorded 2,159 souls for Christ during this year’s Rural Evangelism exercise held in the Ejisu and New Tafo Areas of The Church of Pentecost.
The six-day outreach, which took place from September 9 to 14, 2025, also saw 555 people baptised in water, 887 receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and 1,883 others rededicating their lives to Christ. In addition, five new assemblies were established—Quarters, Emmanuel, Grace, Bonwire, and Baamang Assemblies.
The 2025 edition of the annual evangelistic campaign was themed “Jesus Christ! The Way, the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6). Ahead of the event, student missionaries, referred to as “militants,” embarked on a 21-day fast and prayer to seek spiritual empowerment. They also underwent intensive training in leadership, medical, and logistical support to ensure the success of the mission.
A total of 25 centres were covered during the outreach, including Effiduase, Kumawu, Bodomase, Banko, Drobonso, Asokore, and Bonwire. Activities undertaken by the teams included dawn broadcasting, one-on-one evangelism, school outreaches, film evangelism, house-to-house visits, and prayer sessions.
The outreach was marked by numerous reported healings and miracles. Among them were testimonies of a man at Bonwire who regained mobility after months of paralysis, a woman at Drobonso healed of chronic back pain, and another who received her sight after years of impaired vision. In one instance, a challenge from a community member in Drobonso to pray for rain reportedly resulted in heavy rainfall after an hour of prayer.
The Asokwa Area Head and Executive Council Member, Apostle Peter Kofi Dzemekey, and the Ejisu Area Head, Apostle James Oko Barnor, the New Tafo Area Head, Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku, as well as to the various district pastors who hosted the teams, were acknowledged for their diverse support which significantly contributed to the success of the outreach.
The Resident Campus Pastor for PENSA-KNUST, Pastor Jonathan Quaye, who, together with his team, visited all 25 centres during the campaign, was lauded for his leadership and guidance.
The Rural Evangelism, an annual initiative of PENSA-KNUST, provides students with practical missionary experience in rural communities. It seeks to deepen their faith, strengthen their evangelistic zeal, and impact communities with the gospel of Christ.
