The Essam-Debiso Area of The Church of Pentecost has recorded 33 souls won for Christ and 10 water baptisms during a three-day evangelistic outreach targeting Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), as part of efforts to advance inclusive evangelism and strengthen the Ministry to Persons with Disabilities (MPWDs).
The outreach formed part of a six-day visit by the National Coordinator of MPWDs, Pastor Alexander Nyame, and the Sector Pastor, Pastor Isaac Aboagye, from October 20 to 25, 2026. The visit, hosted under the leadership of the Area Head, Apostle Frank Awuah Fordjour, sought to equip church leaders, promote inclusive ministry and extend the Gospel to persons with disabilities.
As part of the visit, a leadership training programme was organised on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, attracting 92 participants, including ministers, ministers’ wives, district and local coordinators, and children.
Speaking on the theme, “Jesus Demonstrated Sacrificial Leadership,” with reference to Hebrews 2:9–11, Apostle Fordjour underscored humility, selflessness and sacrifice as essential attributes of effective Christian leadership.
Pastor Nyame highlighted the importance of continuous training in strengthening the ministry, while Pastor Aboagye urged the Church to intensify efforts to reach persons with disabilities with the Gospel, stressing that God’s love embraces everyone and that no one should be excluded from the mission of the Church.
The three-day evangelistic outreach, held from October 22 to 24, yielded encouraging results, with 33 people accepting Christ. The converts comprised 13 Deaf persons, 10 persons with mobility impairments, nine persons with visual impairments and one person with a speech impairment. Additionally, 10 converts were baptised in water.
Demonstrating the Church’s commitment to practical care and inclusion, Pastor Nyame donated three wheelchairs, two crutches and five white canes to support persons with disabilities in the Area. The items are expected to enhance mobility, promote independence and facilitate greater participation in community life.
The visit climaxed on Sunday, October 25, 2026, when Pastor Aboagye and his wife worshipped with the Debiso Central Assembly.
The Area expressed gratitude to God for the success of the visit and acknowledged the contributions of the Area Head and his wife, the National Coordinator, the Sector Pastor and his wife, church leaders, coordinators, volunteers, families and community members.
The successful exercise has further strengthened the Essam-Debiso Area’s resolve to advance evangelism, discipleship and practical support for persons with disabilities, ensuring that they are not only reached with the Gospel but also welcomed, valued and meaningfully included in the life and mission of the Church.
