The newly created Royal Temple Worship Centre in the Asahiman Area of The Church of Pentecost has been successfully inaugurated.
The district was inaugurated on Sunday, August 18, 2024, by the Area Head, Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi.
The occasion also included the welcome service for the Resident Minister and Area Youth Pastor, Henry Azark, as well as an appreciation service in honour of the former Youth Pastor, Shadrach Addo Arnan.
In inaugurating the Worship Centre, the Area Head admonished the new District Executive Committee and Ministry Leaders that their responsibility is not only to the district but also to the Area Youth Ministry.
“Therefore, you must support your pastor in the discharge of his duties, as he will be juggling between serving the Area Head, Youth Ministry Director, and the Worship Centre,” he said.
Speaking at the three-in-one service, the Home and Urban Missions (HUM) Pastor for the Ashaiman Sector, Pastor Solomon Anderson, urged the congregation to “Serve the Lord Faithfully.”
According to him, areas where they need to show faithfulness include faithfulness to God, to the sending authority or church, to oneself, and to the calling that one has received.
Drawing lessons from Matthew 25, Pastor Anderson said faithfulness involves accountability, honesty, truthfulness, sacrifice, spiritual discipline, and an increase in whatever one has been given.
The last part of the service was dedicated to appreciating Pastor Shadrach Addo Arnan, who had served as the Area Youth Pastor for three years.
Apostle Kumi-Larbi explained that, as a matter of policy, Youth Pastors do not oversee Districts with many Assemblies. However, Pastor Addo had worked diligently in both roles for the past two years after being transferred from PIWC-Michel Camp to Michel Camp District.
The Area Youth Ministry praised him for the successes achieved under his leadership. Elder Keith Eubulus was also recognised as an Area Youth Executive Committee member, having served for six years.
In attendance were pastors and their wives from the Ashaiman Area, youth pastors from the Kaneahie and Tema areas, and Ashaiman Area Executive Committee members.
