The Salaga Area of The Church of Pentecost has officially launched the Ministry to Prison Associates, one of the key interventions under Vision 2028, aimed at offering spiritual support, mentorship, and reintegration pathways for ex-convicts.
The launch took place on August 30, 2025, and marked a significant milestone in the Church’s commitment to holistic ministry and social transformation.
The event, held under the leadership of the Salaga Area Head, Pastor Hayford Nsiah Yatimboh, brought together stakeholders from both the Church and Ghana’s security services. Notable among them were the District Police Commander, DSP Gabriel Alorsey; the Deputy Prisons Commander of Salaga Local Prisons, CSP Dela Kwasi Adorkor, and several officers from the police and prison services.
In his keynote address titled, “Your Profession as a Calling,” Pastor Yatimboh drew from Ephesians 4:1 to encourage attendees, especially those in the law enforcement agencies to see their professions not merely as jobs, but as divine callings.
“Every believer is a priest of God,” he noted, “and must reflect the character of Christ in their deeds and actions.”
He indicated that professions carried out with integrity, compassion, and spiritual awareness serve as powerful tools in ministering to others, particularly those seeking restoration after incarceration.
CSP Dela Kwasi Adorkor, on his part, shared a brief historical background of the Salaga Local Prison and underscored the value of partnerships between the prison service and faith-based organisations. He highlighted the critical role such collaborations play in the rehabilitation and reintegration of inmates, and welcomed The Church of Pentecost’s initiative as timely and impactful.
The event set the tone for a broader commitment to restorative ministry within the Salaga Area, reinforcing the Church’s resolve to reach all segments of society with the transforming message of Christ. By launching the Ministry to Prison Associates, the Area has taken a meaningful step toward restoring hope, dignity, and purpose to those seeking a new beginning after incarceration.
