by Joseph Attoh with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories The newly-constructed church building of the Downtown Assembly in the Downtown District of The Church of Pentecost was dedicated on Sunday, July 9, 2023, to the glory of God.

Apostle Dr. Benjamin Ali, the Area Head for the Downtown-Ofaakor Area of the Church, dedicated the church building with assistance from Pastor Andrews Owusu (Downtown District Minister), Pastor Kwasi Afoakwah (Area Secretary), and some ministers in the Area. The edifice, which began construction in 2009, cost the church GHS 817,000.00. It
is also worth noting that Honorable Mavis Hawa Koomson, the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, supported the project with GHS 25,000.00. Delivering a brief sermon on the topic, “The Building Speaks,” with key scriptures from Ecclesiastes 9:10 and Ephesians 2:10, Apostle Samuel Otu-Appiah encouraged the members to be partakers in
building God’s church. “The building speaks of both the past and the present; therefore, invest in His church building,” he stated. Gracing the occasion were Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson and Hon. Anita Obo Amissah (Municipal Chief Executive for Awutu Senya East) and their entourage.

Present also were Mrs. Mary Ali (wife of the Downtown-Ofaakor Area Head), Mrs. Gifty Dansoah Appiah (wife of the Winneba Area Head), Mrs. Faustina Owusu (wife of the Downtown District), as well as some ministers’ wives, and officers in and outside the Area. PENTECOST NEWS. by Joseph Attoh with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories The
Tarkwa Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Daniel Okyere Walker, visited church members in the Esuoso Assembly on Wednesday, July 5, 2023, who have been displaced due to the flood caused by the recent heavy downpour. The heavy downpour, which started on Friday, June 23, around 3:00 pm until Sunday, June 25, 2023,
continuously led to the Bonsa River overflowing its banks and submerging almost half of the town. The Area Head began his tour by first visiting the queen mother of the Esuoso Traditional Area, Nana Akua Bemaa, at her palace. He was accompanied by Pastor Samuel Emery Yormesor (Area Secretary). Other members of his entourage were Pastor
Abraham Nana Bamfo Oppong (Tarkwa Area Youth Pastor), Pastor Mensah-Tawiah (Tarkwa Area PENTSOS Coordinator), Pastor Bright Nyamedor (Area Media Ministry Pastor), and Pastor Ebenezer Awuku Quaye (Adieyie District Minister). Apostle Dr. Walker said the purpose of the visit was to commiserate with the affected persons, pray with them,
and assess the extent of damage caused by the flood. He was thankful to God that despite the magnitude of destruction, no fatalities were recorded. The queen mother, on her part, expressed immense appreciation to the Area Head for showing them love and concern during this difficult moment. About 183 persons were affected in the entire
community, and 83 buildings collapsed, of which ten members were victims. The flooding also destroyed items running into thousands of Ghana cedis. The items included electronics, food, household equipment, and farm implements. The Area Head and some ministers in the Area toured the affected houses and interacted with the affected members.
Addressing the victims, Apostle Dr. Daniel Walker urged them to be hopeful in the Lord and grateful for the gift of life despite their predicaments. He advised them to trust the Lord to replenish all they had lost due to the flood. He also said that having witnessed firsthand the extent of damage, the leadership of the Church would come up with the
most suitable way to support them. Report by Tarkwa Media Team Mrs. Mary Nyamekye, the wife of the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, has said that Christian women possess a unique capacity to nurture spiritual growth and serve as role models within the local church and the community. Mrs Nyamekye gave this charge to Christian women
on Wednesday, July 5, 2023, when she participated in the recently-held weekly prayer meeting of the Kasoa Area Women’s Ministry at the Mountain View Worship Centre, Tuba. Referencing Titus 2:3-5, she encouraged older women to teach younger women and to lead by example in matters of faith, love, purity, and homemaking. Mrs. Nyamekye also
stated that prayer holds immense power in the life of the church, hence like Hannah (1 Samuel 1:10-11) Christian women can fervently intercede for the needs of the congregation, the leaders, and the community. “Women can lead prayer groups, organise prayer events, and encourage others to deepen their prayer lives,” she said, adding that by
exemplifying a life of prayer, they can inspire other women to embrace the transformative power of intercession. Mrs Nyamekye also emphasised the importance of hospitality and its significant avenue for Christian women to create an environment of warmth, love, and acceptance within the church community. Referring to Romans 12:13, she said
women help strengthen the church’s hospitality by facilitating gatherings, welcoming newcomers, and ensuring that everyone feels included and cared for.
“The efforts made in creating a hospitable atmosphere can foster meaningful connections and facilitate the growth of the church family, ” she said. The wife of the Chairman further encouraged Christian women to possess valuable insights and gifts that can contribute to the teaching and discipleship ministries within the local church. She cited
Priscilla in Acts 18:26, who, alongside her husband Aquila, rightly divided the word of God and helped in expounding the way of the Lord to Apollos.

“Likewise, women can actively participate in Bible studies, Sunday School classes, or Women’s Ministry groups, where they can share their knowledge and passion for God’s word,” she said Touching on the impact of Christian women on the community, Mrs. Nyamekye said they can actively engage in serving the community by demonstrating Christ’s
love through compassionate actions.
She explained that since Christians are enjoined by Scriptures to do good to all (Galatians 6:10), Christian women must also reach out to their communities through outreach programmes, support charitable initiatives, and encourage others to participate in acts of service. “By embodying Christ’s love in practical ways, Christian women can inspire
others to impact their local communities as well,” she said.

Mrs.
Nyamekye ended her message by challenging women to rise to the occasion and make an impactful difference within the local church by embracing their roles as spiritual nurturers, prayer warriors, hospitable hosts, teachers, and servants, they can positively influence those around them. PENTECOST NEWS The General Secretary of The Church of
Pentecost (CoP), Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi, has emphasized the importance of missionaries embracing a Christ-centered lifestyle that aligns with the values and principles of The Church of Pentecost, regardless of their location.
According to the General Secretary, “Over the years, The Church of Pentecost has built a Christ-centered brand with our core values, culture, and rules of conduct handed down to us as a legacy from our forebears, which we must preserve and pass on to the next generation.” He made this call when addressing the newly-called missionaries to the
internal and external mission areas of the Church yesterday at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh. Delivering a paper on “Deepening The COP Brand,” Apostle Kumi-Larbi emphasised that “for the past 80 years, our forebears, being careful in observing the instructions in the covenant, the tenets, core values, church culture, and
rules of conduct of the church, have given the CoP a unique and enviable brand which ought to be guarded jealously. He encouraged all ministers and members of the church to brand themselves with the values and principles of Christ. He said that, like every other church, The Church of Pentecost has its own culture and foundational beliefs at the
heart of its theology, governing system, and practical expression of Christian life and ministry.
“As a church, we love and cherish these practices so dearly. Everyone who comes into our fold must know and diligently apply themselves to these,” he stated. He reiterated the need to reposition the church in this generation as a clarion call to deepen the brand as a church. “We want to make The COP brand stronger and more intense to bring clarity
to it and cause our members to become more interested in the church.
These are virtues and values that must be jealously guarded and bequeathed from one generation to the other,” he added. He urged the missionaries to carry a distinctive character of Christ, which has contributed to building a strong church through selfless service, sound biblical teaching, good leadership and succession, evangelism and
discipleship, sacrificial giving, fellowship, and discipline. “It thus behooves this generation to know, uphold, and jealously guard these time-tested Pentecostal distinctive attributes as we seek to reposition the local church for maximum impact,” he stressed. The General Secretary concluded by saying that although the church began with people who
were not so educated, yet, the Holy Ghost inspired them to create a brand that has made the church unique, distinguished, and respected in the world. PENTECOST NEWS The third edition of the “Uncommon Leadership Summit” (ULS) organised by the Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA), Cape Coast Sector, took place from Friday, June 30,

goals as a leader, you should be enlightened in the word of God, believe in what God has deposited in you, and be firmly rooted and grounded in Christ.” He also encouraged the participants to be leaders of influence who are filled with the Holy Spirit. After sharing the spiritual and physical qualities of a leader with the participants, Pastor Zoot led the
church in a session of intensive prayer for the infilling of the Holy Spirit. The programme continued the next day with a presentation from the convener of the Uncommon Leadership Summit, Pastor Blessing Joseph Quayson, the PENSA Traveling Secretary for the Sector, who spoke on “The COP Brand – the Core Values of the Church.” Pastor
Quayson stated that “what makes us unique and distinct as a church is our brand, which includes core values, tenets of the church, and rules of conduct.” He explained that core values are the things the Church holds in high esteem, such as evangelism, discipleship, ministry excellence, prayer, leadership development, church culture, tithe and
offering, consistent Bible teachings, etc. Pastor Quayson urged the PENSA leaders to study the core values and rules of conduct of CoP, as they make the Church distinct from others. He also encouraged PENSA leaders to serve wholeheartedly and sacrificially in the church and help build the local assemblies for maximum impact. Elder Evans Darko
Addo, a member of the Working Team, spoke on the topic “What is expected from a Repositioned PENSA Leader.” He pointed out that a repositioned PENSA leader is expected to be loyal, above reproach, faithful in doing the work of God, and a soul winner. The wife of the Traveling Secretary, Mrs. Esther Mansa Annan Quayson, continued with a talk
on the topic “Is this Love” from 1 Samuel 13:1-23. She challenged the participants to pray effectively and seek godly counsel before entering into any relationship.

PENTECOST NEWS Mrs. Gifty Otu-Appiah, the wife of the Winneba Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, has called on Church leaders and Children’s Ministry workers to endeavour to make the church the safest place for children. According to her, the local church bears a significant responsibility in safeguarding
children not only within the church premises but also wherever dangers may arise. Mrs. Appiah gave this advice yesterday when she delivered a presentation at the Foundation Builders Conference 2023, held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh. Addressing the participants on the topic of “Ensuring Child Safety in/By the Local
Church,” Mrs. Otu-Appiah defined child safety as the measures and practices put in place to protect children from harm, injury, abuse, or danger. She emphasized that child safety encompasses various aspects of a child’s well-being, including their physical, emotional, and psychological security.
She further explained that child safety measures involve creating a secure environment that promotes healthy development and protects children from potential risks or threats.
Mrs. Otu-Appiah also noted the importance of identifying potential hazards, implementing preventive measures, and educating both children and caregivers about safety practices. She highlighted the need for identifying signs of potential harm, responding to allegations or suspicions of abuse, providing support and services to protect children, and
holding accountable those who have harmed them. Mrs.
Otu-Appiah emphasized that the primary goal of child protection is to ensure that all children are safe and free from harm, including physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence. To promote child safety, Mrs. Otu-Appiah advocated that the local church should empower Children’s Ministry workers, establish
systems that limit access to children for potential abusers, as well as educate and empower children to participate in their own safety and prevention efforts. She also stressed the importance of educating parents, guardians, and the community on child abuse prevention and the need to intervene if harm occurs. Drawing from biblical teachings, Mrs.
Otu-Appiah emphasized that God calls the church to be advocates for children and therefore called upon all members of the local church to uphold the biblical mandate of child safety. She further outlined practical ways in which the local church can ensure child safety. These measures included implementing screening and background checks,
developing comprehensive child protection policies, providing training and education for all child workers, ensuring proper supervision and accountability in all activities, securing facilities, maintaining check-in and check-out procedures, and maintaining open communication with parents and caregivers. She also emphasized the importance of
responding to all safety concerns, developing and practicing emergency preparedness plans, and regularly reviewing and updating safety measures.
Mrs. Otu-Appiah ended her presentation by charging church leaders and Children’s Ministry workers to make child safety a top priority, creating an environment that honours children’s God-given dignity and eliminates the chance for abuse and harm. PENTECOST NEWS. The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has
encouraged both internal and external missionaries to open the gates of the church to all individuals, irrespective of their appearance or background. According to the Chairman, for a missionary to be a good minister, he must have value for the human being, whatever the shade and looks. He said this on Wednesday, July 5, 2023, during the 2023
Missions Orientation held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), organised by the International Missions Directorate of the Church. Under the theme “The Determination To Serve And The Delight of Sacrifice,” Apostle Nyamekye drew inspiration from John 15:13-16 to emphasise the importance of serving with determination and sacrificing for
the cause of spreading the Gospel.
He said that the chief motivating factor in Paul’s ministry and in every ministry is the love for the Lord, noting, “You can never manage Jesus’ sheep if you do not love Jesus, for it is not about money. The delight in sacrifice is to lay down your life for your friend Jesus.” The President of Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) highlighted
that there are still problem people and people with problems, like the beggar at the beautiful gate, who expect to receive something from the church. “We need not fail them without looking at merit or justice but just be a channel of God’s grace to mankind,” he added. Reflecting on the nature of ministry, he added that ministry is the distribution of
God’s grace to others, saying, “All of us are the deposits of God’s resources to reach out to other nations, thus being the channel of His resources to man.” He urged the minister to be determined to serve with the assurance that God will supply to them in their respective communities, stations and nations. He also encouraged them to be good
distributors, stay with the source, who is God and relax to make the impact that God needs them to make in the lives of the people entrusted into their hands. PENTECOST NEWS.
The Director of the Children’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor Prof. William Otoo Ellis, has stressed the indispensable role of Children’s workers in the Church’s quest to raise godly children. Pastor Prof. Ellis said this today in a welcome address to participants at the Foundation Builders’ Conference (FBC’23) currently underway at the
Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh. In his speech, the Children’s Director said that children’s workers, who are popularly known as Sunday School Teachers, serve as conduits for raising godly children; hence, there is a need to build their capacities and reignite their passion in the face of the challenges they encounter while
discharging their mandate. He said the Foundation Builders Conference, thus, aims to equip and empower these dedicated individuals for maximum impact in shaping the church’s future. “The Foundation Builders’ Conference serves as a platform for intentional and continuous training to enhance the capabilities of children’s workers,” he said.
According to him, there is an urgent need to prioritise the development and support of those entrusted with the spiritual well-being of these young members has become paramount especially with the Children’s Ministry accounting for 31.1% of the church’s total population. Acknowledging the current global trends and the influence of sophisticated
systems, Pastor Ellis further highlighted the importance of increasing attention to the Children’s Ministry. He referred to the Chairman’s recent State-of-the-Church Address at the 46th General Council Meetings, noting the essential role of children’s workers in nurturing godly children who will shape the future of the church and Christendom.
Quoting Matthew 26:31, he reminded the audience of the importance of strong leadership, stating that “strike the shepherd, and the flock will be scattered.” He, therefore, expressed deep appreciation to the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, the Executive Council Members, and Area Heads for their unwavering support and active
involvement in all Children’s Ministry activities across their respective jurisdictions. He also commended the children’s workers for their dedication and for consistently organising innovative programmes and activities that align with the Ministry’s vision. This year’s Foundation Builders Conference, which is under the theme, “Rekindling the Zeal of
the Children’s Worker for Maximum Impact,” has about 1000 participants in attendance. PENTECOST NEWS. The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has called on Children’s Ministry leaders and workers at the various levels of the Church to prioritise evangelism in order to lead more children to Christ. He made this
statement during his keynote address at the ongoing Foundation Builders’ Conference (FBC’23) at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, this morning. In his address, Apostle Nyamekye advised the children’s workers not to focus solely on the children within the church but also to minister to other children in their respective
communities. He emphasised the importance of making themselves available to the entire community, as the potential for spreading the Gospel among children extends far beyond the church walls. “Do not be satisfied with only the children under your immediate care; remember that the whole community is ripe for the taking.
Endeavour to possess your community for Christ,” he urged. The Chairman further encouraged children’s workers to employ various evangelistic methods to effectively engage with individuals in their communities. He also shared his personal testimony, acknowledging the profound impact the Children’s Ministry had on his own spiritual foundation.
“The Children’s Ministry accounts for 31% of the entire membership of The Church of Pentecost worldwide. Let us strive to double the Children’s membership by the end of the year,” Apostle Nyamekye declared. Preaching on the topic, “The Determination to Serve and the Delight Of Service”, at the event, the Chairman emphasised the foundational
aspect of any development and how it often goes unrecognised.
Drawing parallels, he acknowledged that children’s workers might not receive public recognition for their instrumental role in establishing a solid Christian foundation for the children but should continue to serve the Lord with zeal. Quoting John 21:15, Apostle Nyamekye outlined how cultivating a deeper love for God enables children’s workers to
find delight in their service. This love and passion, he explained, would reignite their zeal in nurturing children’s faith and empower them to overcome the challenges they face. Apostle Nyamekye concluded his message by commending the children’s workers for their valuable service and reminding them that their work is ultimately in service to the
Lord.
