During the 2024 Christmas holidays, a tragic fire outbreak at Accra’s Kantamanto Market devastated the livelihoods of many traders. Several shops and goods were destroyed in the blaze, affecting 34 traders—eight of whom are members of the Nungua District of The Church of Pentecost.
In response, the Teshie-Nungua Area of the Church, under the leadership of the Area Head, Apostle Wilberforce Nkrumah Agyeman and District leaders, swiftly intervened—not only providing spiritual support through prayer but also offering tangible assistance. The Church donated a total of GHS 450,000 to support all victims of the incident, offering relief and a foundation for rebuilding.
On Monday, May 5, 2025, Pastor Benjamin Quaye Ofei-Badu, District Pastor for Nungua, visited the affected traders at the market to assess their current conditions. He was pleased to observe that all the traders had resumed their businesses and were doing remarkably well. Pastor Ofei-Badu took time to pray with each individual and offer words of encouragement.
The beneficiaries expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Church, particularly the Teshie-Nungua Area and its districts, for their support during this time of crisis. Their appreciation reflected not just the financial aid received but also the love, prayers, and continued presence of the Church in their lives.
