The Schools Outreach Ministry (SOM) of The Church of Pentecost has warmly welcomed students in basic schools back for the new academic year.
On Wednesday, September 11, 2024, a delegation led by Pastor Frank Mensah Tandoh, SOM National Coordinator, visited Oblogo M/A Basic 1 & 2 Schools to welcome the students back to school officially.
Pastor Tandoh shared a brief exhortation, encouraging students to emulate Jesus Christ’s exemplary character. He referenced Matthew 19:13-14, highlighting Jesus’ special love for children and his readiness to welcome them, rebuking the disciples who tried to prevent parents from bringing their children to him.
Pastor Tandoh expressed concern over the negative impact of social media on young people and pledged SOM’s commitment to partnering with schools to instill good morals and kingdom values in children. He urged students to seek strength and salvation in Jesus.
During the visit, SOM presented gifts to students advancing to their next education stage. Those moving from pre-school to class one received packages containing two exercise books, a box of crayons, juice, and biscuits. Students transitioning from basic six to JHS 1 were given an exercise book, pen, and devotional guide designed by SOM.
In an interview with PENT MEDIA, Mrs Ivy Fiti, Headmistress of Oblogo 1 & 2 Basic Schools, along with the students, expressed gratitude to SOM and The Church of Pentecost for their generosity, promising to make good use of the materials provided.
Also present were Pastor Adu Kodjo Francis (Odorkor Area SOM Coordinator), Mrs Joyce Albina Assan (SOM NEC member), and other SOM Area executive committee members from the Odorkor and Kaneshie Areas.
