The Women’s Ministry Director of The Church of Pentecost, Deaconess Philomena Mireku, has encouraged Deaf women to recognise their God-given potential and rise above perceived limitations to become agents of transformation in society through the power of the Holy Spirit.
She made the call while addressing participants at the 2026 Deaf Women’s Conference held at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, on the theme, “Women Unleashed to Transform Society Through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit.”
Drawing biblical lessons from 2 Kings 11:1–3; Acts 13:1–3; Colossians 1:4–6; Exodus 4:11; Psalm 139:14 and 1 Corinthians 12:22, Deaconess Mireku explained that the conference theme was more than a slogan but a divine call for women to rise and become instruments of righteousness and transformation.
She highlighted preservation, commissioning and fruitfulness as important dimensions of women’s ministry, stressing that God can preserve generations through people who are willing to stand in the gap during challenging times.
She urged the women not to underestimate their abilities, noting that God could use them to preserve lives, strengthen families and advance His Kingdom, irrespective of their circumstances.
Addressing the participants directly, Deaconess Mireku emphasised that deafness does not cancel a woman’s divine purpose. She noted that Deaf women, when empowered by the Holy Spirit, can overcome perceived barriers and make meaningful contributions to their families, the Church and society.
She further described the hands of Deaf women as important instruments of communication, encouraging them to use their abilities to communicate the Gospel, inspire others and demonstrate the love of God.
Concluding her message, Deaconess Mireku charged the participants to embody the qualities of an unleashed Deaf woman by becoming sources of love, wisdom and encouragement wherever they find themselves.
The session ended with a prayer led by the Deputy Women’s Director, Deaconess Vivian Amfo.
