The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has, on behalf of the entire membership of the church, commended seven members of the Executive Council of the church for their devoted service to God and the church, as their terms of service come to an end this year.
The seven, popularly described as the ‘7 Great,’ have been on the Council, which is responsible for the administration of The Church of Pentecost, for various years. They are Apostles Yaw Adjei-Kwarteng, Samuel Osei Asante, and Isaac Nii Kotei Djani, all serving for 10 years.
The rest are Apostles Sylvester Arhin, Dr. Dela Quampah, Sundaram James Raj, and Mike Etrue, all serving for 5 years, respectively.
Paying a heartfelt tribute to the seven during the State of the Church Address at the 47th Session of the General Council Meeting held at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh, on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Apostle Nyamekye commended them for their distinguished service to the church and prayed to God to reward them bountifully.
‘You will agree that they have served selflessly and faithfully throughout their years on the Executive Council,’ the Chairman said, as the crowd gave them a standing ovation with a resounding round of applause.
By virtue of the expiration of their terms of service, another set of seven experienced ministers, mainly Apostles and Prophets, will be elected on Thursday, May 1, to replace them.
