The Home and Urban Missions (HUM) of the Church of Pentecost held a Nation Possessors Prayer Conference from Wednesday, January 7 to Friday, January 9, 2026, marking the spiritual commencement of the Church’s 2026 calendar year.
The three-day gathering brought together key HUM workers and leaders to seek divine direction, renewal, and empowerment for effective ministry in the year ahead.
Held under the theme, “Transforming Society through fasting and prayers,” anchored on Acts 8:4–8, Acts 13:1–3, and Colossians 1:4–6, the conference underscored the strategic role of prayer and fasting in advancing God’s mandate to transform societies. Participants included Area Nation Possessors Leaders and Assistants, HUM ministers and their wives, Sector Nation Possessors Leaders, members of the Nation Possessors National Executive Council from the Northern Zone, as well as Nation Possessors teams from Greater Kumasi. Church administrative areas from the Western North, Northern, Upper East, Upper West, North East, Bono, Ahafo, Bono East, and Ashanti regions were represented.
The annual prayer conference, organised by the Home and Urban Missions, serves as a spiritual preparation platform for HUM workers to align with the vision and mandate of the Church for the year. Welcoming participants on behalf of the HUM Coordinator, Pastor Benjamin Quaye Ofei-Badu, Pastor Gabriel Owusu Akyaw, HUM Pastor for the Kumasi Sector and a member of the HUM National Executive Council, urged attendees to remain steadfast in prayer and fasting. He emphasised that sustained spiritual discipline was essential to equipping God’s people for impactful ministry among the unreached and vulnerable.
At the climax of the conference, Apostle Peter Kofi Dzamekey, Area Head for Asokwa, RCC Coordinator, and Executive Council Member of the Church, delivered a stirring charge. Drawing from the account of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17:41–51, he encouraged participants to exercise bold faith in God and “declare what they desire to see in the Church, society, family, business, marriage, and every sphere of life.” He stressed that faith-filled declarations, grounded in God’s Word, were key to overcoming entrenched challenges confronting both the Church and society.
The conference recorded a total attendance of 78 participants, including Mrs. Abigail Ofei-Badu, Pastor Kwaku Kwantwi Asiedu, National Leader of Nation Possessors, HUM pastors and their wives from Takoradi, Techiman, Kumasi, and Walewale sectors, as well as leaders from Offinso, Kwadaso, Asokwa, Suame, Ashanti Bekwai, Obuasi, Mampong, and Abuakwa. The gathering reaffirmed HUM’s commitment to prayer-driven ministry among unreached people groups.
