In alignment with The Church of Pentecost’s vision of ‘Possessing the Nations’ and ensuring that no soul is left behind, the Wa Area Head of the church, Apostle Bernard Azizu Mohammed Abogorago, has inaugurated a Deaf Assembly in Kabanye District.
The new assembly was established under the Ministry to Persons With Disabilities (MPWDs).
The inaugural service, which took place on July 13, 2025, was a vibrant and joyful occasion, attended by 25 deaf individuals.
In a brief address, the Northern Sector Coordinator for MPWDs, Pastor Joshua Korko Semador, commended the Wa Area leadership for this significant milestone and stressed the need for intentional efforts to nurture and grow the new assembly.
Delivering the keynote message, Pastor Peter Reuben Wuni, National Coordinator for the Deaf Ministry, indicated the value of every soul in the eyes of God. He reminded the congregation of the joy in heaven over each soul won for Christ and encouraged members to let Christ dwell richly in their hearts, live holy lives, and pursue their salvation with reverence and commitment, keeping heaven as their ultimate goal.
To the glory of God, four deaf individuals and one hearing-impaired person gave their lives to Christ during the service.
The District Minister for Kabanye, Pastor Karim Awuni, on his part, urged the members to each win at least one soul for Christ. He noted that the strong sense of community among the deaf could be a powerful tool for evangelism and church growth, encouraging them to invite their peers to join the fellowship.
The Area Head, Apostle Abogorago, after praying for the newly appointed local leaders, encouraged the members to work diligently to expand the assembly. He expressed hope that the Wa Deaf Church would grow to become one of the largest deaf congregations in Ghana and beyond.
Also present at the service were Pastor Alfred Owusu (Wa Area MPWDs Coordinator) and his assistant, Overseer Benjamin Sekyere; Pastor Stephen Supir Bedim (District Minister for Kumbiehi); Elder Jacob Tobo (Area Deacon), who will serve as the acting Presiding Elder for the new assembly; and Elder Samuel Baidoo, Presiding Elder of the Nungua Deaf Church in Accra, among others.
