The National Coordinator for the Ministry to Teens under the Youth Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Deaconess Nana Ama Adentwi, has charged teens workers to embrace spiritual and practical preparation, noting that effective ministry begins with the worker being shaped by God.

“We cannot give what we do not have,” she said, adding that God is calling teens coordinators and teachers to be prepared in the Word, in the Spirit, and in skill.

Speaking at the opening session of the maiden National Teens Workers Conference at the KNUST on May 14, 2026, Deaconess Adentwi described teens workers as transformation agents and reminded participants that every teen under their care is not a statistic but a potential missionary, entrepreneur, and future leader of the Church and the nation.

She further described the maiden conference as a launching pad for learning, unlearning, prayer, strategy, and renewed passion, stressing that the goal is not merely information but transformation.

“We must leave not just informed, but transformed so that we can truly transform a generation,” she stated.

The Council, chaired by Goski Alabi, expressed confidence in Prof. Kumi-Boateng’s ability to provide visionary leadership to advance the university’s strategic goals.

Beyond academia, he is an active member of The Church of Pentecost, serving as an Elder at PIWC Tarkwa and as the Assistant Area Youth Ministry Leader for the Tarkwa Area, where he contributes significantly to youth development and ministry.

He has also served in various international academic roles, including as an external moderator for the University of Nairobi and a visiting professor at the University of The Gambia.

The University Council commended the Search Committee for its professionalism and dedication to a merit-based selection process, and also acknowledged the contributions of the outgoing Vice Chancellor in advancing the growth and reputation of the university.

The University of Mines and Technology, Tarkwa, remains a leading institution in Ghana, specialising in mining, engineering, and applied sciences, and continues to play a vital role in the country’s socio-economic development.

The appointment of Elder Prof. Kumi-Boateng is expected to further strengthen UMaT’s position as a centre of excellence, while also highlighting the impact of the Church of Pentecost through its members serving faithfully in key leadership roles across the nation.
