The Central Assembly church building of the Gambaga District in the Walewale Area of The Church of Pentecost has been officially dedicated and named in honor of the late Prophet Evans Annaba Mensah, former Area Head for Walewale.
This gesture was made to commemorate Prophet Annaba’s enduring legacy and the profound impact of his ministry and leadership within the Area.
The building, funded by the Church’s Headquarters with additional support from both the Area and the District, was dedicated on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
The dedication service was officiated by Apostle John Budu Kobena Tawiah, Tamale Area Head and Northern Regional Coordinating Committee (NRCC) Coordinator, representing the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost. He was assisted by Apostle Norman Appiah-Danquah, the current Area Head for Walewale, and Overseer Samuel Nyame of the Gambaga District.
The occasion drew together ministers from across the Walewale Area, the widow of Prophet Annaba, Mrs Gladys Annaba, along with her family, the Chief of Gambaga, church officers, and a large congregation who gathered to witness the historic event.
Apostle Tawiah delivered a sermon titled, ‘God Remembers.’ Drawing from Esther 6:1–14, with supporting scriptures from Luke 10:20 and Hebrews 6:10, he narrated the biblical account of Mordecai and Haman to illustrate that God never forgets the labour of His faithful servants. He encouraged the congregation to remain steadfast in their faith and service, trusting in God’s perfect timing for recognition and elevation.
Apostle Tawiah commended the leadership and members of the district for their commitment to the work of God and for successfully completing such a significant edifice. He urged them to regard the new building not merely as a physical structure, but as a sacred space devoted to prayer, discipleship, and community transformation.
Mrs Gladys Annaba, widow of the late Prophet Evans Annaba Mensah, expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, the Walewale Area, and the Gambaga District for the honour bestowed upon her late husband through the naming of the church building.
The dedication service was marked by vibrant praise and worship, reflections on the history of the project, and a spirit-filled atmosphere of thanksgiving.
