In a small community in Ayetsekope, a mother no longer has to travel miles to access basic healthcare for her sick child. In Abesewa, an elderly farmer can now get treatment with dignity and without delay. These are just a few of the quiet revolutions taking place across Ghana—thanks to the growing healthcare mission of The Church of Pentecost, through its social services wing, Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS).
Speaking at the 2024 State of the Church Address (SOCA) during the opening of the 47th General Council Meeting on April 30, 2025, Chairman Apostle Eric Nyamekye shared how the Church’s healthcare efforts are restoring hope and dignity to thousands of people across the nation.
“Our hospitals and clinics are not just buildings; they are places of healing, compassion, and restoration,” the Chairman said.
In 2024 alone, over 234,000 patients were served through 11 healthcare facilities—four hospitals and seven clinics—run by the Church. These facilities, often in remote and underserved areas, have become lifelines for families who previously had little to no access to quality medical care.
This growing demand was met by a dedicated team of 1,199 healthcare professionals, an increase from the previous year, who continue to serve with commitment and care.
Among the many milestones was the operationalisation of the Abesewa Clinic in the Abuakwa Area—a beacon of relief to the local community. In Teshie-Nungua, the PIWC-Graceland went a step further by donating a fully equipped CHPS compound to the Ghana Health Service, directly benefiting the people of Ayetsekope.
One of the most heartwarming stories came from Teshie Praso, where a newly constructed clinic has now been officially registered under the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) and is offering essential medical services to residents who, until now, had to endure long journeys for basic care.
The Church is not stopping there. Projects are underway in Ohene Nkwanta, Kumbangre, and Asuadei, while feasibility studies are ongoing in hard-to-reach areas like Dwarf Island, Pesator, and Dawusasu. In Accra, plans are in motion for a specialist hospital that aims to set a new standard for healthcare delivery in the country.
Beyond buildings and clinics, the Church committed GHS 10.7 million to support the medical needs of its members—ensuring that no one is left behind due to financial constraints.
These stories of healing, dignity, and access are not just statistics. They are a reflection of the Church’s enduring mission: to minister to the whole person—body, soul, and spirit.
In the words of Apostle Nyamekye: “We are called to serve humanity, and in doing so, we make God’s love visible in the most tangible ways.”
The State of the Church Address (SOCA) is an annual report presented by the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, typically during the opening session of the General Council Meetings—the highest decision-making body of the Church. Modeled in part after the “State of the Nation” format, SOCA provides a comprehensive overview of the Church’s spiritual, administrative, and social interventions for the previous year.
