One hundred and five children received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, while several others received various gifts of the Spirit during a special service organised in the Akim Oda Area of The Church of Pentecost. This event took place during a recent visit by two National Executive Committee (NEC) members of the Children’s Ministry to the Area.
The Director of the Children’s Ministry, Pastor Samuel Avornyo, delegated a two-member team, Pastor Nana Kwame Damoah and Deaconess Juliana Djaba, for a five-day working visit to the Akim Oda Area. The visit aimed to evaluate the implementation of the ministry’s vision and other activities in the Area.
As part of the visit, Pastor Damoah and Deaconess Djaba held their first meeting with ministers and their wives in the Area on the morning of October 23, 2024. They also met with officers and Children’s Ministry workers in the Oda zone in the evening to discuss the ministry’s vision.
On October 24 and 25, they moved to the Achiase zone for sessions with the officers and Children’s Ministry workers.
Saturday morning, October 26, was dedicated to prayers and Holy Spirit baptism sessions in the Oda zone. The service was attended by 610 children and children’s workers, out of which 105 children were baptised in the Holy Spirit, while others received various gifts of the Spirit.
The team, along with the Area Children’s Ministry Leader, Pastor Frank Agyei Acheampong, visited some assemblies in the Area on Sunday morning to fellowship with the children.
The Akim Oda Area Head, Pastor Samuel Acquaah, accompanied the team to all the zones during the visit.
The visitation has brought significant transformation to the Area. Among the topics discussed were the Jethro Initiative, One Child One Bible Project, Children’s Box Library Project, Community Children’s Club, My Community My Treasure, Jesus Fair, Catch Them Young Initiative, and Young Warriors for Christ.
