An academic block at the Pentecost Preparatory School in Madina has been named in honour of the late Mrs Agatha Amoah, a pioneer of the institution and wife of former General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Albert Amoah (Retired).
The dedication took place during a short but significant ceremony held at the school premises on Wednesday January 28,2025.
Pentecost Preparatory School was founded in 1985 as Arm of the Lord by then Mr Albert Amoah and his wife, the late Mrs Agatha Amoah. The establishment of the school was inspired by a vision God placed in the heart of Mrs Amoah, which later grew into a fully functioning educational institution.
In 1994, the school was donated to The Church of Pentecost after two unsuccessful attempts by the couple to hand it over to new management. This decision was necessitated by their increasing responsibilities in full-time ministry, as Apostle Amoah became actively engaged in pastoral duties.
Speaking at the naming ceremony, Apostle Albert Amoah (Retired) described the school as “a seed of thought planted in the mind of my late wife many years ago,” noting that what began as a simple vision has today become a lasting legacy impacting generations of children.
The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, who also addressed the gathering, urged Christians and leaders to live purpose-driven lives that leave enduring legacies for future generations. He emphasised that great achievements often begin as small ideas.
“Everything starts like a seed,” he said, “but when it is well looked after and watered, it grows into something positive.”
Apostle Obuobi further encouraged resilience in the face of opposition and challenges, drawing lessons from the perseverance of Apostle Amoah and his late wife, who faced significant resistance during the early years of the school’s operations.
Touching on the importance of memorials, he referenced Joshua 4:1–6, explaining that God instructed the Israelites to set up a memorial of stones as a reminder of His intervention when the River Jordan parted. According to him, such memorials serve as reminders of God’s faithfulness and human obedience.
In a related announcement, Apostle Albert Amoah (Retired) unveiled the establishment of the Agatha Amoah Excellence Award, which will be presented to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance, with a special focus on excellence in English Literature.
