At the feet of the Adaklu Mountain today, Saturday, 3rd June, 2023, at Adaklu Tsriefe, were persons from all walks of life, the clergy, academicians, educators, doctors, scholars, royals, politicians, etc.
They had gathered to attend the memorial service and funeral of a distinguished academic giant, a college principal, a true hero of his people, Mr Simon Wilberforce Kwami Tsadidey.

Reading through his autobiography, all was evident that he persistently changed the status quo and reached the apex in his field.

Mr S. W. K. Tsadidey, an unsung hero of the society, he authored a lot of books which facilitated the teaching and learning of English Language especially in the Colleges of Education. I remember using some copies back in college.

I understand he told his people to say it as he is and avoid exaggerations and untruths in his tribute. That is a sign of his boldness and truthfulness, to call a spade a spade.

Running through the tributes were his generosity, ability to see and develop talents, very friendly and cheerful, a great mentor and a leader, a motivator and a counselor. Other remarks are his being a disciplinarian, firm, frank and confident and many more.

Mr Tsadidey made a success out of his own life and had extraordinary passion for excellence. He was a role model who impacted many lives especially as being a teacher educator. He illuminated love and passion towards his duties.

Mr S. W. K. Tsadidey of blessed memory had a gentle spirit and a quiet disposition.
He was a one time principal of Peki College of Education (1997-2007) He was also a Consultant on Teacher Education to the Government of Ghana, an expert in the art of teaching English Language and an alumni of Leeds University, United Kingdom.

Giving the homily, the clergyman had this to say:
“Purpose to do good.
Write your own story truthfully.
This son refused to be swallowed up, he moved and did some thing better for himself.
Parents are admonished that their kids are not useless.
I am rising up to change the situation.
You were born not to be the same.
Don’t forget your mates when you make it.”

Mr S. W. K. Tsadidey is survived by a wife, children and grandchildren.
There is also a library in his honour at Adaklu Tsriefe, near Ho in the Volta Region.

May Mr S. W. K. Tsadidey aka Fo Kwami and all the dearly departed rest in the perfect peace of the Lord.

According to Elder Isaac Ocran, the Children’s Ministry Leader, they asked the children to wear Ghanaian clothes to climax the observed Ghana Month which happens every year in March. The children were taking through some Citizenship Education topics during the month of March.

Some of the topics they treated include “Respect for People in Authority and Leadership”. They also taught the children, “The role of the Church in Producing Good Citizens”. The objective was to nurture the children to become loyal citizens when they grow.

Speaking to the members of the Children Ministry, some of them explained that the clothes they were wearing are used by chiefs and royals. Others also mentioned the different regions that their traditional dresses represented. The dresses worn represented almost all the ethnic groups in Ghana.

There was a gathering of GNAT Executives, School Representatives and Delegates at the Volta Regional Pensioners’ Hall numbering about 160 to attend the Asogli Local GNAT Conference 2023, with the theme, “The Role Of The Grassroot In Keeping the Strengths Of GNAT As A Teacher Union”, on Wednesday, 22nd March, 2023.
GNAT is the acronym for Ghana National Association of Teachers.

Some achievements of the Asogli Local GNAT as enumerated by the Chairman, Mr Anthony Selorm Amegadzi are:
1. Visitation by all Local Executives to almost all institutions and education of members on GNAT’s activities and benefits.

He advised the attendees to invest and save for the future as much as possible. He also touched on matters of interest to teachers including GNAT souvenirs, TMI Laptops, Teachers’ Mutual Fund, among others.

Mr Kasim Baba added that, “GNAT nurtures leaders and talents” so the teachers should take advantage of that and utilize opportunities to serve as they come.

There was an election for new executive for the Asogli Local GNAT which had Mr Jude Deh as the returning officer. The outcome was successful.

Prophet David Kankam Beditor, the Ashaiman Area Head and an Executive Council Member, who was the chairman of the service described Deacon Kaketo as a good person and a Christian. He advised the family not to blame anyone for the death of their beloved, for he has finished his work on earth. Prophet Kankam Beditor asked those who are not yet converted to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ.

The Sawla Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Pastor David Amankwah gave the sermon and spoke to the topic, “May the name of the Lord be praised”. The scriptural references were, Job 1: 20-22, Isaiah 57: 1-2, and Romans 8: 28.

Pastor David Amankwah explained that believers should glorify God for calling a saint home, for Deacon Daniel Elorm Kobla Asaph Kaketo died under the Cross, the hope of christians.

On Sunday, 29th January, 2023, Deaconess Charity Tamakloe of The Church of Pentecost gave thanks to her Maker at Pentecost International Worship Centre, Mawuli Estate, Ho.
The reason for the event was that Deaconess Tamakloe had attained 91 years of age.

Present at the service were the Resident Minister of PIWC-Ho, Pastor David Francis and Mrs Hannah Akayue, a section of the presbytery and congregation. Some of her children including Elder Prof Seth Yaw and Mrs Doris Peasah were also around.

The nonagenarian thanked God for the successful years she has chalked on earth. The congregation joined in singing and dancing to the glory of God. She said a prayer specifically for persons that were more than 60 years of age. She later prayed for the entire church.

Madam Charity Tamakloe who is the proprietor of Christ Prince of Peace School in Ho is a founding member of PIWC-Ho. She was once the leader for the Volta Regional Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost in the 1980s.

The entire church auditorium was filled with euphoria for the Lord’s goodness and mercies towards Deaconess Charity Tamakloe.

Ask me of a man of God who is humble.
I will straight away mention Elder Prof Seth Yaw Peasa of The Church of Pentecost. He is an Executive Committee Member of the Evangelism Ministry, Ho Area Executive Member, the founder and leader of the El-Bethel Prayer Centre, past Presiding Elder of PIWC-Ho. He is on quite a number of boards and committees.

He is married to a fire brand woman full of the Holy Spirit, Mrs Deaconess Doris Delali Peasa. They have a beautiful family.

I have known Elder S Y Peasa since 2010. Actually, I heard his name before stepping foot in Ho, the capital of Volta Region, Ghana.

Elder Peasa is domiciled in Ho. As a servant of God, the work of God takes him to both near and far places across the globe, example Mali, South Africa, Israel, several countries in Europe, etc.
For Togo which shares a boundary with Ghana on the eastern side, the citizens frequently enjoy so much of Papa Peasa’s ministrations. He tells us Togo is his second home.

Elder Prof Seth Yaw Peasa is a power minister of the Gospel. He operates in almost all the Holy Spirit gifts. He is seen in the aspects of miracles, healing, casting out demons, prophesying, word of knowledge and wisdom, speaking in diverse tongues, etc. He teaches Bible based truths and frequently receives Holy Spirit inspired songs.

He has served in almost all the ministries of The Church of Pentecost at the various levels, notably the Evangelism Ministry. He has a strong passion for evangelism. He got converted during an evangelism outreach by The Church of Pentecost. Once in a while, he recounts on how he and a couple of friends carried a generator and other items from Kpetoe to Ho on foot.

He has always supported his virtuous wife, Mrs Peasa in all roles she plays in and outside the church. I am proud to announce to you that, they are married for over 32 years and still counting. They are role models for a lot of young christian couples.

Of the things I admire about him most are his frankness, generosity, respect and love for mankind, both young and old, above all is his humility.

He tells us of his not too exciting backgrounds during his childhood at Dwenase, his hometown in the Eastern Region of Ghana. A man of his calibre always tells the congregation of how God has been gracious to him and his household. Elder Prof Seth Yaw Peasa always gives the glory to God. He wholly appreciates how far God has brought him.

He has a very good memory and easily recollects events in history. For the history of The Church of Pentecost, Ho Area, from the early 1980s, Elder Prof Seth Yaw Peasa is a sure help.

He loves evangelism and setting captives free from the kingdom of darkness. As such, Elder and Mrs Peasa gladly honour invitations from other Holy Spirit led churches and denominations.

Elder and Mrs Peasa are involved in a lot of philanthropy. They donate to institutions and individuals. They have a high level of prominence with respect to tithes, various forms of offerings and donations at their local church. Every end of year, they organize banquets for all the worshippers at El-Bethel Prayer Centre.

After church service, he cannot leave early because there are always scores of people from far and near who come to see him. There are instances people join church services because they want to see Elder for advice, healing, funds, and other needs. It is only an accommodative person who exhibits such patience.

What makes him provoked is when someone uses his authority to suppress the other. He immediately intervenes for the suppressed person. He is totally for justice and equity. He is actually a voice for the voiceless, and a father to many orphans.

Another aspect of him is his acknowledgement and admiration for talents, gifts and services of persons.
One spectacular example is his ever readiness for enyomedia, a budding christian media started by this reporter. He has always granted interviews at either short or long notices.

He has respect for children. He is always seen either praying for or giving gifts to children around.
His love, dedication, respect, towards the aged is unmatched.

Elder Prof Seth Yaw Peasa has love for books and he is widely read on a lot of subjects other than religion.

Papa Peasa always inspires people to be better than they are and he explains that God the Creator has given humans the ability to rule, dominate and conquer.

Anyone who knows Elder S Y Peasa may never forget his interpretation skills. He has done a lot of interpretation for well known ministers across the world who find themselves especially in the Volta Region on international platforms. He speaks impeccable Ewe laced with proverbs. He is good in languages and as such does not find it difficult in translation of songs received in one language to the other.
He is not selfish, at the just ended Christmas Convention of Pentecost International Worship Centre, Ho, he prayed for and imparted unto people who wanted to do interpretation.

I asked my children to describe Elder Peasa.

Evandy Celestine Mornyuie (16):

He is a servant of God. He is God fearing and hardworking. He loves people.

Apostle Samuel Noble Mornyuie (14):
A humble person, tolerant, generous, speaks the truth, goal getter (dream achiever), for example, he is building a huge temple at the El-Bethel Prayer Centre of The Church of Pentecost.

Emmanuel Sitsofe Mornyuie (12):
He is a man of God.
He is a professor.
He is a prophet.
God has used him to heal many people.

Theodora Solace Aseye Mornyuie (10):
He is good.
He is kind.
He is loving.

I wrote this out of observation of these humble and honourable man and woman of God.
All errors if any are mine.

The Ho Area Head, an Executive Council Member, and the Volta and Oti Regional Coordinating Councils Chair of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Dela and Mrs Comfort Quampah have hosted retired officers in the Ho Municipality to a banquet at their residence in Ho, Volta Region on Sunday, 8th January 2023.

Present at the event were Apostle Dr Dela and Mrs Comfort Quampah, Pastor Jerry Paul Adzah(rtd), Ho Area Executive, a section of the Ho Area Pastorate and their wives, the and the retirees.

Apostle Dr Dela Quampah thanked God for the lives of all the retired officers. He also thanked the retirees for allowing themselves to be used as vessels and servants of God to develop The Church of Pentecost in Ho from a 1 district church to 7 district pastor seats in Ho Municipality. He asked for their prayer support and advice.
He encouraged the pastors to inform the retirees of happenings in their districts.
Apostle Dr Dela Quampah prayed for them that they should enjoy fruits of their labour.

Pastor Nelson Agbove, the Ho Bankoe District Pastor gave the sermon with scriptural reference from Numbers 8: 23- 26. He said retirement is endorsed by God, retirees should be encouraged to give advice to the upcoming leaders for growth.

Proposing the toast, Mrs Comfort Quampah thanked God for the lives of the retirees, and asked God for more blessings in their lives and endeavours.

The over 70 participants had a lot to eat and drink to their fill from the assorted meals and drinks. They danced, interacted with each other and made merry.

There was an observation of a minute’s silence in memory of fallen members who have passed on to the Lord’s glory.

The retirees each received presents from Elder Prof. Seth Yaw and Mrs Doris Peasa.

The retired officers were joyful, and thanked the Ho Area Head for the gesture and treat.

At El-Bethel Prayer Centre in conjunction with PIWC-Ho, both of The Church of Pentecost, worshippers gathered to give thanks to the Almighty God for seeing them through the year 2022.

Present were Apostle Dr Dela and Mrs Comfort Quampah, an Executive Council Member, the Chair of the Volta and Oti Regional Coordinating Councils, and also the Ho Area Head, Apostle Anthony K Ahalivor (rtd), the PIWC-Ho Resident Minister, Pastor David Francis Akayue, Elder Prof Seth Yaw and Mrs Doris Peasa, the presbytery and the congregation.

There were various testimonies of healing, the Lord’s goodness and mercies. Some of the congregation also sang various songs to praise the Lord.
One testimony was about a Togolese woman who had no spinal cord, but had the touch of God when she arrived at the El-Bethel Prayer Centre some years back. Elder Prof Seth Yaw Peasa added that a spinal cord started growing in her body to the amazement of medical doctors.

The Apostle Dr Dela Quampah spoke to the topic, “I Have A Dream”. He acknowledged Martin Luther King Jr. He charged the congregation to have purposes. Genesis 37
“Feel free and dream. Receive grace to birth visions, industries, communities, etc.
Joseph became a victim, refuse to be a victim, you are a victor. Let them scheme and plan, God will turn it around and their schemes will be stepping stones for your victory.
Joseph had potential.
You have potential.
You are not an accident, you came on earth to fulfill God’s plan.
If you don’t fulfill, you will not die.
I am activating your abilities.
You will become unstoppable.
God gives us dreams to prepare us for events.
You are destined to lead, shine, stand out.
At the appointed time, you will give orders.
Valuable dreams face oppositions and it is normal. Every thing you go through today either positive or negative, will be to God’s glory”.

Elder Prof Seth Yaw Peasa led the worshippers into a time of prayer.

Over 2,800 people were in attendance.
