Greater Accra HUM Sectors Organise Home Missions Conference

by with No Comment Church NewsHUMTop Stories

The Home and Urban Missions (HUM) of the Greater Accra Region on Saturday, May 16, 2026, organised a Home Missions Conference at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Tesano, aimed at empowering all PIWCs in the region to pursue missions among expatriates living in Ghana.

The conference brought together church leaders, ministers, and members to discuss practical strategies for reaching expatriate communities as part of fulfilling the Great Commission.

Delivering the first presentation, Apostle Benjamin Ofei-Badu, National Coordinator for Home and Urban Missions, spoke on the need for the church to embark on Home Missions. Referencing scriptures including Matthew 28:18-20, Ephesians 3:10, and 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, he explained that while missionary agencies and churches traditionally moved from their home nations to foreign lands to spread the Gospel, many nations have now come into other nations through migration.

According to him, this changing trend calls for churches and mission agencies to strategically position themselves to reach expatriates within their host nations.

Apostle Ofei-Badu cited biblical examples of Jesus ministering across cultural boundaries, including His encounter with the centurion and the Samaritan woman, as well as Philip’s encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch. He also referenced a contemporary example involving former Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah, who shared the Gospel with James Raj.

Pastor Solomon Anderson, Ashaiman Sector HUM Coordinator, in his presentation on “Understanding Home Missions,” explained the concept of expatriates and shared data on the number of expatriates living in Ghana. He outlined practical approaches to reaching them, including contextual missions, language studies, and intentional engagement strategies.

Speaking on the topic “Winning the Expatriates,” Apostle Kingsley Addai, Resident Minister for PIWC-Accra, used the Chinese community as a case study to illustrate practical evangelism approaches. He highlighted relationship-building, need-based support, hospitality, and language learning as effective tools for ministering to expatriates.

The conference also featured group discussions, allowing participants to deliberate on the various topics presented. An open forum session was later held to provide participants with the opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification on issues relating to home missions and expatriate outreach.

The event ended successfully with participants expressing appreciation for the insights shared and the renewed focus on missions among expatriate communities.

The summit was held on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at A.T. Nartey Temple under the leadership of Apostle Benjamin Offei Badu. It brought together Area HUM Coordinators, Sunday School Teachers, Children’s Ministry leaders, sector representatives, and other stakeholders to discuss practical ways of expanding the PENT5000 Feeding and Outreach Project across Areas, Districts, and Local Assemblies.

Quoting scriptures such as Matthew 28:18–20 and Mark 10:13–16, he encouraged participants to remain committed to the vision of transforming lives through holistic ministry.

The PENT5000 National Coordinator, Elder Emmanuel Apaa Sam Boandoh, later presented the vision, operational framework, and implementation strategies of the initiative. He explained that the project seeks to support the spiritual, cognitive, and psychomotor development of vulnerable children through feeding programmes, discipleship, literacy and numeracy training, and other life-changing interventions.

A question-and-answer session moderated by Mrs. Abigail Offei Badu allowed participants to deliberate on key implementation challenges, including funding sustainability, volunteer retention, child follow-up systems, and community engagement. Participants also proposed strategies such as strengthening district ownership, improving volunteer training, building partnerships, and enhancing monitoring systems.

NATIONAL HUM COORDINATOR A LEADER WHO WALKS THE TALK WEB

National HUM Coordinator: A Leader Who Walks The Talk

by with No Comment Articles

In a time when leadership is often defined by charisma and status, it is refreshing to witness leadership rooted in service, integrity, and unwavering commitment to a divine mandate. Such is the leadership journey of Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo, the National Coordinator of the Home and Urban Missions (HUM) of The Church of Pentecost, whose trailblazing efforts have redefined ministry to the marginalized since HUM’s inception in 2019. 

A Call to Serve the Forgotten

Born out of the Church’s broader vision to “Possess the Nations and Transform All,” the Home and Urban Missions was established as a spiritual and social response to the increasing neglect of vulnerable populations in Ghana’s inner cities and unreached communities. From street children to substance abusers, urban poor, and marginalized groups, the field was ripe for harvest, just as Jesus declared in John 4:35. Yet, to labour in such a field required more than a leader, but a worker. A man with the heart of a shepherd, the hands of a servant, and the vision of a kingdom builder. That man was Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo. 

From Vision to Movement 

When HUM was launched under the direction of the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, it became clear that this was not merely an ecclesiastical initiative, but a divine movement. Entrusted with the responsibility of coordinating this vision nationally, Apostle Kwafo did not simply assume an office – he embraced a calling. 

His leadership is marked by action rather than rhetoric. From the outset, he understood that HUM’s heartbeat lay not in boardrooms or pulpits alone, but in the streets, ghettos, and forgotten places where broken lives cried out for redemption. With humility, diligence, and genuine concern, he rolled up his sleeves and began laying structures—recruiting, training, and inspiring pastors, ministers, and volunteers to step beyond conventional ministry and reach the unreached. 

Strategic Leadership with a Shepherd’s Heart

One of Apostle Kwafo’s most admirable qualities is his ability to blend spiritual insight with strategic leadership. Under his guidance, HUM developed frameworks for evangelism, discipleship, feeding programmes, rehabilitation, and empowerment projects tailored to diverse groups, including street children, migrants, drug addicts, and urban dwellers. 

Through regular training sessions, mentorship programmes, and field supervision, he ensured that every HUM worker, regardless of title or rank, was equipped, encouraged, and energized. His involvement in missions inspired a culture of servant leadership as he walked the very roads he called others to walk. Volunteers and pastors nationwide recount stories of Apostle Kwafo’s presence at outreaches, prayer walks, and feeding drives, ministering with compassion and purpose. 

Impact That Speaks for Itself

The fruit of his labour is evident in the countless lives transformed through HUM initiatives. Families have been restored, addicts have found freedom, and children once condemned to the streets are now learning, growing, and thriving. Communities have awakened to the love of Christ through the practical expressions of the gospel. 

HUM is more than an evangelistic arm; it is a movement of transformation, spiritually, socially, and economically, impacting lives. And much of this can be attributed to Apostle Kwafo’s servant-hearted leadership. 

A Leader Who Knows His People 

What makes Apostle Kwafo’s leadership even more remarkable is his approach. From Area leaders to local volunteers, many share stories of how he has taken the time to know them by name, encourage their efforts, and be genuinely present in their concerns, modeling the principle of shepherding the flock among you (1 Peter 5:2). 

A Future Rooted in Service 

As HUM continues to expand, establishing new clubs, feeding programmes, skills training centres, and outreaches, the call for more labourers grows louder. Given the solid groundwork established by Apostle Kwafo, HUM is poised for a promising and impactful future.

Through his example, The Church of Pentecost is raising a new generation of leaders who are selfless, strategic, Spirit-led, and servant-hearted. Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo is more than a coordinator; he is a commander in God’s army of compassion. His leadership has shown that fulfilling a divine mandate requires not only vision but relentless action, personal sacrifice, and unwavering faith. 

He is the leader who walks the talk – a builder of people, a transformer of communities, and a vessel in the hands of God. 

As the harvest remains plentiful, may many arise, following in his footsteps to join the mission, not just with words, but with hearts full of service and hands ready to labour.

CHRISTIANS HAVE SPECIAL CALLING – HUM COORDINATOR ASSERTS web

Christians Have Special Calling – HUM Coordinator Asserts

by with No Comment Church NewsHUMTop Stories

The National Coordinator of the Home and Urban Missions (HUM) of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo, has asserted that being a Christian is not merely a personal choice but a divine calling.

Addressing Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) at the University of Ghana, Legon, during his recent visit to the place, Apostle Kwafo delivered a thought-provoking sermon based on the church’s theme for the year: ‘Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling,’ anchored on Ephesians 4:1, Galatians 1:24, and 1 Thessalonians 4:7.

‘We have all received a special calling from God as Christians. When you think you are in church because you were born into it or someone invited you, you will live your life anyhow,’ he said, adding, ‘By that calling, the character, image, and attitude of Christ have been formed in you.’

Highlighting the indwelling presence of Christ, Apostle Kwafo stated, ‘Christ in you, the hope of Glory, did not come by chance, but God called us out of the lot, and He dwelt in us. Christ dwells in us, among us, and with us. With us means He lives with us, amongst us assures us of His presence in our gatherings. But individually, He lives in us.’

He stressed the responsibility that comes with this calling, encouraging believers to declare in Word and demonstrate in attitude the character of Christ. He urged Christians to live in a manner that reflects their faith, saying, ‘When we live among people, our presence, thinking, arguments, and everything should prove to them that we have encountered someone they have no idea of.’

Drawing from his personal experiences, Apostle Kwafo recounted an incident during his time as a postgraduate student, where he stood against examination malpractice. ‘You don’t care what everybody thinks, you care what Christ says, and you live by it,’ he asserted.

The sermon also focused on the practical aspects of living a life worthy of the Christian calling. Referencing Ephesians 4:1, he mentioned that the lifestyle of believers should be consistent with their dignified position as members of the community of God.

‘Our Christian calling comes with a responsibility,’ he noted, highlighting virtues such as humility, gentleness, patience, love, and the pursuit of peace.

Acknowledging the challenges posed by a corrupt world, the HUM Coordinator advised: ‘When it is becoming difficult to abstain from sin, fast and pray.’ He reiterated that the goal of God’s calling is for Christians to be holy and sanctified, as stated in 1 Thessalonians 4:7.

Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo encouraged the students to rethink their Christian faith and check their lives both in the open and in private. He urged them to view every aspect of their lives as a ministry ground and demonstrate the real character of God to the world. ‘We must live lives worthy of our calling so that people may praise God because of us,’ he concluded.
