The Church of Pentecost in Germany has successfully held the maiden edition of its WOPEM Conference from Friday, July 18 to Sunday, July 20, 2025, at the Wandsbek Sporthalle in Hamburg.
The three-day event, which brought together members from across the country, was held under the theme “Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling.” It was convened under the leadership of Apostle Daniel Ato Eduah, the National Head of the Church in Germany.
In his opening address, Apostle Eduah underscored the significant role that the various ministries have played in nurturing the Church in Germany. He, however, stressed the need for a more integrated and holistic approach to ministry, urging members to view the Church not as segmented departments but as one unified body, with every believer uniquely called and equipped for Kingdom service.
He explained that the WOPEM Conference was a strategic initiative aimed at empowering and equipping believers—regardless of age or ministry group—to identify their value and role in the Church. According to him, the conference was also designed to bridge generational and departmental gaps and align the Church’s efforts with the Possessing the Nations agenda and Vision 2028.
Apostle Eduah outlined the key objectives of the conference, which included: helping members appreciate their identity in Christ, encouraging a broader view of ministry beyond specific groups, offering tailored training, and providing ministry tools for effective service based on individual spiritual gifts and talents. He added that the conference also aimed to address local congregational challenges, offer focus sessions on pressing issues, and promote socio-economic empowerment among members.
Throughout the event, participants were engaged through various word ministrations and empowerment sessions. One of the highlights was a session focused on youth engagement, where young people were encouraged to take active roles in both church and society. They were reminded that they are not only the future but also the present of the Church, and were urged not to let their age be a limitation.
On the final day, the congregation was challenged to remain faithful to their divine calling and to view their workplace and daily environments as platforms for ministry.
The conference featured a number of guest speakers and gospel ministers including Apostle Sampson Ofori Yiadom (National Head, Italy), Apostle Abraham Arthur (National Head, France), Apostle Jabis Osei Kwame (National Head, Czech Republic), Pastor John Angoh (Netherlands), as well as gospel artistes Diana Hamilton, Deaconess Akua Serwaa Bonsu, and Deaconess Nana Akyinba Duodo.
The maiden WOPEM Conference ended on a high note, with renewed commitment among members to serve God faithfully and impact society through their unique callings.
