Giving the Word of Exhortation, Apostle Dr Dieudonne Nuekpe who stood in for the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost spoke to the topic, “Hospitality As Missions”.
People know their priority in life and their focus is to honour God. God adds riches, honour, and long life. Serving God and proclaiming Him must be our priority.
Your priority in life determines the height God raises you.” Apostle Dr Nuekpe explained that, “showing hospitality is biblical. Hospitality is a tool for missions. May we make Christ known to the world.” He added that Lot, Manuel, Abraham were hospitable.

The District Chief Executive of South Tongu, Hon. Seth Kwasi Agbi extended the compliments of the Volta Regional Minister, Dr Archibald Letsa. Addressing the audience, he commended the CEO, Mr Amekpor. He said that, “expectation brings manifestation. This is not the end. It pays to work hard.”

The Chief of Hlevi expressed that, “humility is total submission to God and God grants the humble favours including riches and long life. He used the opportunity to thank the chiefs and landowners. He also thanked all who came to their aid during the flooding crisis of 2023.
Some deserving staff were honoured and given awards.

During the morning church service on 31st December 2023, at Pentecost International Worship Centre-Ho, Mawuli Estate, of The Church of Pentecost, the already joyous congregation got more elated. There was a donation of an 85 inch LED Television and 2 water dispensers to the church.

Giving the items, Elder Prof. Seth Yaw Peasa, the founder and leader of The Church of Pentecost’s El-Bethel Prayer Centre, Ho Area, said they saw the need to donate the accessories to help during church service.

Receiving the items, Pastor David Francis Akayue the Resident Minister of PIWC-Ho, said that, “Sometimes thinking about something so hard then God does it so softly, this is a testimony.”
He expressed his sincerest appreciation to the Aklaku and Peasa families.
Pastor Akayue added that the items are received with joy, and will serve as a means of propagating the Gospel for the saving of lost souls.
He sanctified the items for use.

Elder Amos Kevin-Annan, a respected elder of The Church of Pentecost added his voice that the gift to the church was very timely as the current generation is an Audio Visual Generation.

The entire church, that is, lay leadership including the Area Deacon, Elder Dr Makafui Nyamadi and members together blessed the donors for their act of kindness and generosity.
The LED TV screen is about Seventeen thousand Ghana Cedis(17,000.00).

If you have ever doubted the creation narrative of the Holy Bible, let the story of Theodora Solace Aseye Mornyuie, a Sunday School Member, of PIWC-Ho, of The Church of Pentecost, Ho Area speak to you. Theodora is also a learner at the Volta Rising Star Academy.

Young Aseye, 11, asked the mother Enyonam Adjorlolo Dormevenu, also known as enyomedia, who is into christian media, to post her poem online for her.
According to enyomedia, she was always, postponing having a look at the poem. Her daughter’s frequent demands gave her a change of mind and she had a look at the poem. The last line, “Bake tomorrow’s BREAD today.” attracted her to the poem.

Mrs Dormevenu made a post asking for a virtual launcher on Facebook, Mr Peter Kyei Anim-Sampong, based in the United Kingdom readily availed himself for the task. Madam Justina Ohemaa Afia Mauda, who is a Brand Expert and a Business Strategist designed her Poem Launch Flyer free of charge.

As much as the mother tried to convince Theodora to have a physical launch, she insisted on having an Online Poem Launch, which was virtual, something which is uncommon.

Deacon Emmanuel Adadey, our indefatigable host, the CEO of EMAA Adonis TV graciously accepted to be the host. He indeed steered the programme beautifully.

With the support of her church, that is PIWC-Ho, the outcome was very successful on Sunday, 18th November, 2023.

At the time of writing this story, the Online Poem Launch of Theo De Poet had 101 comments, 25 shares and 1.1K views on Facebook.
The mother, Mrs Enyonam Dormevenu is totally awed because she has realized that, “When there is a will, there is a way.”

During the first church service of PIWC-Ho, of The Church of Pentecost, Ho Area, on Sunday, 18th November, 2023, Deaconess Suzzy Kugblenu gave a spectacular testimony to the glory of God for seeing her through school at the Ho Technical University. The auditorium was full of emotions, that is, tears, joy, gratefulness, etc.

Her testimony moved almost everyone present to tears when she herself could not control hers. This was as a result of the many ups and downs Deaconess Suzzy Kugblenu, 33, went through before graduation.
According to her, she was struck with an acute headache in Class 4 and that ended her brilliance.
Her teachers kept promoting her because of her past performances, hoping that the issue would get better. She was able to know how to write her name again in JHS 1.
Her journey in formal education was delayed because of the following:

* She had to re-attend JHS 2, thus completing JHS in 2006 instead of 2005.
* First Senior High School in 2009, all records on her and her results could not be traced or found after the final exams.
* Second Senior High School in 2014 (4 years) with E8 as the highest grade.
Pastor Michael Kofi Norshie, her then District Pastor followed-up and encouraged her.
* Third Senior High School that is, Pentecost Vocational Institute at Gbawe, Accra from 2015-2017.
* She learnt Sewing for 2 years.
* She hustled in Accra.

Her parents and uncle encouraged her to further her education to which she was reluctant, but she later agreed after a revelation from God.

Suzzy says that the challenges continued at Ho Technical University with resits at the end of almost every semester.
Sometimes she got depressed and cried, but in all God saw her through.

On a one on one with this reporter, she acknowledged the tremendous help of God in her life.
She revealed her immense thankfulness and acknowledgements to her parents, Elder and Deaconess Kugblenu of The Church of Pentecost, Abotoase in the Oti Region and Pastor Michael Kofi Norshie.
Deaconess Lolornyo Letsa, her lecturer added that Suzzy Kugblenu’s case is an inspiration.
Deaconess Suzzy Kugblenu also served in several positions in PENSA such as Assistant Evangel and First Female President.

Suzzy says people should put their trust in God and never give up, so that their purposes in life will be fulfilled. They should encourage themselves; never to look down on themselves. They should never think of killing themselves, because that will not be a testimony, instead they should read the Bible and pray.
Deaconess Suzzy Kugblenu is about to start her degree course soon.

According to Madam Wilson, she has been attending prayer sessions organized by the church and she regularly attends programmes at the El-Bethel Prayer Centre of The Church of Pentecost in Ho.
She said she realized that the lumps in her breast have disappeared. Madam Rebecca Wilson added that, “all the pains left, it is Jesus Christ that saved me”.

A team from the Police Public Affairs Unit and the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit(DOVVSU) has given a presentation on sexual related issues at the Sacred Heart Cathedral for the Roman Catholic Schools at Ho-Bankoe on Thursday 15th June, 2023.

Present at the programme were Rev Fr Isaac Benuyenah, the staff from the Police and DOVVSU, headteachers, teachers and learners numbering over 600.

Giving the presentation, Madam Juliana Yuiah of DOVVSU touched on defilement, rape, sodomy, causes, places, prevention, effects, punishment, and what to do when the learners find themselves in such situations. She gave several instances to educate the learners.
She informed the learners that sex is for adults and not children so they should not involve in it.

Madam Yuiah explained that, learners should always inform parents of their whereabouts, avoid begging as there is no free lunch, and also avoid touching sensitive parts of each other.
She also added the learners that they should avoid bad friends, wear decent dresses to cover sensitive parts, avoid roaming about unnecessarily, avoid watching bad stuff on the internet.
She also informed them that they should concentrate on school so as to become matured and responsible citizens.

Some of the effects of defilement and rape are teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, loss of virginity, conflicts, illegal abortion, depression, early death, imprisonment, etc.
She explained to the learners that there is a juvenile court to handle children so they should behave responsibly so as to avoid there.

“Defilement happens when a child below 16 years is touched sexually, rape is when the victim is above 16 years, both of them are punishable by law. The victims could be male or female”, Madam Yuiah emphasized.

Madam Juliana Yuiah told the learners to be watchful because they could be harassed by strangers, friends, siblings, parents, pastors, teachers, uncles, and could happen everywhere example washrooms, bedrooms, schools, homes, etc.
She encouraged the learners to visit the DOVVSU or nearest police station to report their challenges and avoid home settlement of sexual related harassment.
The punishment of defilement ranges between 7-25 years imprisonment.

Adding his voice, the Rev Fr Isaac Benuyenah, the local manager for the Catholic schools said to the boys and girls that, “Sex is not for children, none of you here qualifies for it. You will harm yourselves. Early sex could lead to cervical cancer, others, and later death.”

There was a question and answer session which encouraged the learners to interact with the team about their concerns.

Lastly, she told the learners that their teachers are their immediate parents at school, so they should always tell them their challenges.
