The Tepa Area of The Church of Pentecost, through its Ministry to Other Sheep, has held its maiden seminar at the Tepa Central Assembly under the theme “I Must Bring Them Also” (John 10:16).
The event, which took place on Sunday, October 19, 2025, brought together ministers, officers, and members from across the Area to deepen understanding and strengthen efforts in reaching non-Christian communities with the gospel of Christ.
Present at the seminar were Pastor Emmanuel K. M. Adeti (Hwidiem District Pastor and Area Coordinator for the Ministry), Pastor Obeng Gyamfi (Twabidi District), Pastor Stephen Larbi (Tepa District), and several district representatives and ministry coordinators.
In his welcome address, Pastor Adeti introduced the ministry’s slogan, “The Other Sheep Ministry – One Flock, One Shepherd,” emphasizing the Lord’s command to reach those outside the Christian faith. He shared a brief exhortation titled “One Flock, One Shepherd,”drawn from John 10:16, in which he reminded participants that Muslims are not enemies but friends and fellow human beings who also need the light of Christ. He encouraged members to approach evangelism to Muslims with love, humility, and understanding rather than prejudice or argument.
Elder John Ackah led the first presentation on the topic “How to Win a Muslim.” He explained key aspects of Islamic beliefs and how Christians can wisely engage in dialogue by starting from shared beliefs before addressing differences based on Scripture. He advised participants to avoid arguments, build genuine relationships, and provide practical support – specially to converts who may face rejection from their families.
The second session, led by Pastor Adeti, focused on “The Concept of Islam,” during which he presented statistical insights about the growing Muslim population and the Church’s strategic mission to reach them. He called on members to intensify prayer and evangelistic efforts, noting that the rapid spread of Islam and the intentional establishment of mosques near church communities must awaken the Church to greater spiritual vigilance and action.
The seminar concluded with an intensive prayer session led by Elder Stephen Osei, Area Secretary for the Ministry.
