The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has paid glowing tribute to a group of apostles who will bow out of active ministry in 2026 after decades of dedicated service to God and the Church.
This touching moment occurred during the 2025 November Heads’ and Wives’ Prayer Meeting at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh.
Addressing the gathering, Apostle Dr Nyamekye described the outgoing ministers as “gallant soldiers of the cross” whose lives and ministry have left indelible imprints on the Church and the Kingdom of God.
He noted that the 2025 meeting would be the final official Heads’ Meeting they would attend in active service, acknowledging their commitment, endurance, and humility throughout their years of ministry.
Those honoured were Apostles Zabre Patinde Ousmane (Burkina Faso National Head), Martin Seth Appiah (Madina Area Head), John Appiah Aidoo (Abuakwa Area Head), Mike Kwame Etrue (Koforidua Area Head), William Ohemeng-Kwakye (Anyaa-Ablekuma Area Head), Daniel Yeboah Nsaful (Old Tafo Area Head), Nathaniel Ajayi Oyekunle (Nigeria National Head), and Edmund Appiah (London South Area Head, UK).
“As tradition demands,” Apostle Dr Nyamekye said, “we warmly invite these esteemed individuals and their wives to come forward so that we can celebrate them for their years of fruitful service to God and humanity.”
As the names were called, the atmosphere in the auditorium was charged with deep emotion and gratitude. The entire congregation of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, and Directors rose to their feet, giving the would-be retirees and their wives a rousing standing ovation.
Apostle Dr Nyamekye commended them for their diligence and steadfast devotion to duty, saying, “Well done, brothers and sisters! You have fought the good fight, finished your course, and kept the faith. The entire Church of Pentecost honours you.”
He further prayed that the Lord would continue to bless them richly, granting them strength, joy, and fulfilment in this new phase of their lives and ministries.
The moment served as a fitting reminder of the Church’s commitment to celebrating the dedicated service of its leaders and upholding the legacy of those who have laboured tirelessly in the vineyard of God.
