The Twifo Praso District Home and Urban Missions (HUM) of The Church of Pentecost has launched a Market Church. The Market Church service will be held every Sunday to help propagate the gospel to traders and all people who patronise the market on Sundays.
The event, which took place at the Sunday Market in Twifo Praso, popularly known as ‘Yentie Obiaa Market,’ on Sunday, November 24, 2024, was chaired by the Twifo Praso Area Head, Apostle Lawrence Otu-Nyarko, and assisted by the Twifo Praso District Minister, Pastor Frank Larbi.
Preaching the sermon at the launch, the Area Home and Urban Missions leader, who also doubles as the District Minister of Twifo Hemang District, Pastor James McKeown Safo, based his message on Mark 10:46-52. He explained that Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, came into the world to deliver humanity from the power of sin and Satan and usher them into the kingdom and presence of God.
He continued that although Bartimaeus was blind, he called upon Jesus Christ to have mercy on him, and Jesus Christ, who is the solution to all challenges, had mercy on him by helping him to regain his sight.
Pastor Safo called on the audience to cast all their challenges upon Jesus Christ because He is the answer, saying, ‘Without Jesus Christ, life is meaningless because He is the source of life.’
He, therefore, appealed to the people to throw everything away and focus their attention on Christ Jesus, just as Bartimaeus did.
‘Jesus Christ has conquered all your problems. Accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour, and you will find rest for your soul here on earth and in eternity,’ he emphasised.
Present at the launch were Mrs Yaa Tiwaah Safo (wife of Pastor James McKeown Safo), Deaconess Agnes Donkor (Twifo Praso Area Women’s Ministry Leader), Elder Isaac Lord Otoo (Assistant Area Home and Urban Missions Leader), Elder Frederick Aggrey (Twifo Praso District Home and Urban Missions Leader), and Elder Eric Sarpong (Twifo Praso Area Media Committee Leader), among others.
