In line with the 2026 theme of The Church of Pentecost, “The Church Unleashed to Transform Society Through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit,” the Sefwi Wiawso Area Head, Apostle Samuel Edzii Davidson, together with his wife, Mrs. Winnifred Davidson, on February 27, 2026, paid a courtesy call on the Divisional Chief of Akontombra, Nana Kwabena Ebie II.
The visit, which took place at the Akontombra Palace, formed part of activities marking the 72-Hour Kohinta Healing and Revival Service held in the Akontombra Zone. The Area Head was accompanied by Pastor Collins Sunday (District Pastor, Akontombra District), Overseer Prince Ofori (District Minister, Essase District), Probationary Overseer Samuel Nkansa Appiah (Secretary to the Area Ministry to the Chieftaincy Committee and District Minister, Aburonehia District), and a delegation of elders.
Welcoming the delegation, Nana Kwabena Ebie II expressed heartfelt appreciation for the honour done him and his traditional council. He noted that chieftaincy institutions are sometimes misunderstood and distanced from Christian worship due to misconceptions associated with traditional authority. He, however, openly affirmed his membership of the Church and expressed pride in the recognition the Church accords the chieftaincy institution through targeted programmes and engagements.
The Chief emphasised that kingship continues to play a vital role in God’s divine agenda, referencing biblical examples where kings and priests were instrumental in advancing God’s purposes. He commended the Church for its strategic and intentional collaboration with traditional authorities toward societal transformation.
Responding, Apostle Davidson thanked the Chief and his elders for the warm reception and reiterated that the Church recognises the indispensable role of traditional leaders in advancing God’s Kingdom on earth. He stressed that God desires to use royals as agents of transformation within their communities. Sharing a testimony from a previous station, he recounted how intentional ministry to a palace led to the conversion of a chief, resulting in spiritual renewal and positive socio-economic impact in the community.
The visit concluded with prayer for the Chief and his elders, reaffirming the Church’s commitment to deepening engagement with the chieftaincy institution for holistic transformation.
