The National Executive Council (NEC) of The Other Sheep Ministry (TOSM) on January 16, 2026, paid a working visit to the Sanneh Institute at North Legon to strengthen collaboration aimed at Christian witnessing and the intentional support of believers from other faiths backgrounds.
The visit formed part of broader efforts to develop structured responses to the unique pastoral, discipleship, and integration needs of such believers, particularly within the West African context.
During the engagement, TOSM reaffirmed its commitment to defending the spiritual wellbeing and rights of Christians who were formerly affiliated with other faith traditions. The Ministry acknowledged its responsibility in this area, noting that some members of its national leadership are themselves believers from other faiths backgrounds and therefore bring personal experience and insight to the Ministry’s mission.
Discussions focused on building strategic networks that would allow ministers and church leaders from other faiths backgrounds to interact, share experiences, and identify practical needs.
Attention was given to how local churches can provide sustained pastoral care and guidance, especially for young believers navigating faith transitions. Participants also explored avenues for strengthening collaboration between ministries, institutions, and churches to enhance support systems.
A major outcome of the meeting was the proposal to develop a contextualised discipleship manual specifically designed for believers from other faiths backgrounds, with emphasis on the West African setting. The manual is expected to serve as a practical tool for grounding converts in Christian doctrine, identity, and spiritual maturity.
Apostle Dr Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe commended the initiative, stating that its objectives align with the foundational vision of TOSM. He highlighted the strategic importance of partnering with The Church of Pentecost, whose numerical strength and facilities offer wider reach and impact.
He further proposed expanding the initiative to include leadership development and suggested that it could evolve into an annual convention. He also encouraged long-term thinking that could incorporate broader civic engagement.
The visit ended with a proposal to organise a regional engagement in the second half of the year to further strengthen ministry efforts through collaboration and structured discipleship.
Present at the meeting were Prof John Azumah, CEO of the Sanneh Institute; Apostle Dr Dieudonne Komla Nuekpe, NEC Chairman of TOSM; Evangelist Abraham Addae Agyemang, National Coordinator of TOSM; Pastor Dr De-graft Issaka Suleman; and Pastor Mark Mohammed Alhassan.
