The event, which took place from Tuesday, August 27 to Friday, August 30, 2024, at the Catholic Retreat Centre (CRC), Ofoase Kokoben, was under the theme, “Fresh Fire For Fresh Transformation,” – (Acts 1:8, 2:1-4, 1 Peter 2:9).
The retreat was aimed at empowering the youth with divine strength and igniting their passion to make a positive impact in their spheres.
It featured experienced speakers, including Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku (New Tafo Area Head), Pastor Maxwell Adubofourh Asiedu (Yennyawoso District Minister), Pastor Joseph Benlam Tasimbo (Kenyase District Minister), and Pastor Mathias Wornu (Resident Minister for Estate Worship Centre and Chaplain for PENSEC-Kumasi), and Pastor Charles Owusu Mpiani (Kwaso District Minister).

“Jewels of Praise,” the District Youth Choir, also enlivened the occasion with a blend of Pentecostal melodies and lively praise songs, creating an uplifting and joyful atmosphere.
The retreat not only addressed the spiritual life of the participants but also their physical well-being, as various topics such as health, self-identity and career guidance, and marriage preparation were discussed, making it a well-rounded event.
