During These 21 Days of Praying & Fasting

2008-04-11T17:42:00.000-07:00

Hello,

I recognize that the Lord has started breaking chains, opening doors and providing break-throughs to His people as He did in times of old!

The Book of Nehemiah provides us with a good example to follow: 1. Recounting all the great and mighty deeds among His people in times past. 2. Identifying ourselves with our ancestors and accepting their sins as our own 3. Resolving to walk afresh in newness of life with the Lord. 4. Agreeing to give towards the upkeep of the house of God.... and many more of such "new year resolutions"!

If you have had your answer already, and you think it is one of those striking testimonies, I invite you to share it at www.globaltestimonies.blogspot.com without delay! It will bless others and tell the world that Our God Reigns!

A Testimony Worth Sharing with All

2008-04-01T21:15:00.000-07:00

Hello,
Please, click on the link below and read about a spectacular feat that the Lord has used one of our youngest and proactive deacons, Deacon Mike Portuphy of Worcester P.I.W.C, as director of the city's Great Brook Valley Health Center, to accomplish. PRAISE THE LORD !

wbjournal.com/j/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3630&Itemid=139

Let's rejoice with our brother and his bunch of enthusiastic and hardworking staff, and also pray with them during these 21-day fasting period that the federal-government funded initiative would be renewed for the coming years to enable them continue with their good work among disadvantaged pregnant mothers in our community.

The Hartford Easter Convention was Special

2008-03-28T17:30:00.000-07:00

Read what the Hartford Courant said about the convention:

"Wearing brightly colored traditional dresses, smocks and headdresses, more than 2,000 worshipers from around the Northeast gathered at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford this weekend to celebrate Easter Ghanaian-style.

The complete article can be viewed at www.courant.com/news/local/hr/hc-easter0324.artmar24,0,2071999.story

Congratulations to Rev. John Ofori and his district staff for their organizational efforts and successful accomplishment. As a result, we are prayerfully considering "voting" for the next easter convention, and probably other regional programs too, to be hosted in Hartford. How about that, pastor? Praise and Glory be to God!

Prophecies for 2008 forwarded through Dr. Donath Emusu

2008-01-05T14:45:00.000-08:00

Dear Brethren,

I am forwarding to you a prophecy that I am confident will be a blessing to you as you enter the year 2008.

God bless you,

Dr. Donath Emusu

2008 Prophecies (Personal, National, International)
Dr. Dan Cheatham
Dec 19, 2007
Today, 19 December 2007, all afternoon, the Spirit of God simply overwhelmed me and I felt myself slipping over into the Spirit realm as these words came forth concerning 2008. This was totally unplanned and unexpected on my part and to be quite frank, I have never functioned on this level before. But I felt the liberty and authority of God come on me and I believe the following thoughts are hot off the press of Heaven and straight from the heart of God for 2008. I submit these words for your own judgment and for your own pondering. One of the words for "prophesy" in the Hebrew is "nawbaw" which means "to bubble forth spontaneously by the Spirit of God" and/or "to predict." Another word for prophesy is "chazah" or "hazah" which means to see as in the form of a vision or dream. Most of the words below were received by "nawbaw", but a few were seen in closed vision form as I wrote. It was almost as if I was about to slip off into a trance, but I did not as my physical senses stayed in tact as I wrote. Some of the words below are simply exhortational and comforting in nature but others are actually predictional. Be blessed as you read and lets watch God bring them to pass in 2008! No doubt as you read them, you will see (as I felt) cycles and varied measures and levels of prophetic anointing. I simply submit these insights as possible blessings to you in preparation for 2008. "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches." Some of these things you may or may not understand or bear witness to. Some things, I am sure, are written to those to whom they are written, and others may not be able to receive them.

2008 is the year of Ezekiel 34:26 KJV: "And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. "

PIWC Receives the WAIT Youth Team

2007-11-20T23:01:00.000-08:00

Last Sunday, on the 10th of November, 2007 the congregation at PIWC stayed a little longer in church to witness a display by a youth group that goes by the name W.A.I.T. These pictures were captured during their display that sought to educate people, especially the youth on dangers of HIV AIDS.

Recovering Some Past Events

The Church in Germany is also marching on!

2007-10-09T14:14:00.000-07:00

Find time to visit them at http://www.copgermany.com/ for more pictures and information about what they are doing in Germany but...

1. Do you know that about 80% of the taxi cabs there are Mercedes Benz?
2. Do you know that at PIWC they speak German and English fluently in their service?
3. Do you know that the Church of Pentecost has the largest African congregation in Germany?
4. Do you know that Mrs. Faustina Owusu Bediako, the wife of the national head, is just about publishing her second book?
5. Do you know that there are three other pastors' wives who have also authored their own books?
6. Do you know that several pastors and apostles, including Rev. Dr. Bediako have written books on various disciplines?
7. Do you know that under the inspiration and encouragement of the Chairman, Apostle M. K. Ntumy several others in the church are coming out with books that can compete with other publications internationally?
8. Do you know that we in the U.S. and Canada can also join in this book writing revolution?
9. Do you know that your book could be published in Ghana, cheaper, and may be nicer than you could have had here in the U.S.?
10. Do you know that the Chairman is waiting to see more books written by overseas members of the church than even in Ghana?

Start praying and prepare to join in the book publishing race! Your testimonies and ideas already qualify to go into print! AMEN!

It is gratifying to see what the Lord is doing elsewhere in the world within the Church of Pentecost.

I was privileged to travel to Germany in the last week of September, and was blessed to be hosted by the National Apostle, Rev. Dr. Emmanuel O Bediako and his wife. I was so much touched by the warmth of their hospitality that from the moment I touched down at the Hamburg Airport to the very last hour of my return, they ensured that I was accorded every support I needed.

Right from the pastors in Hamburg through their elders, deacons, deaconesses and the entire members, including the children, who co-incindentally were celebrating their week, I could experience the apostolic love that Paul exhorted the Church to show amongst the brethren.

While I want to use this platform to express my heartfelt appreciation and thanksgiving to Apostle Dr. & Mrs Faustina Bediako, I want our readers to know that "The Church in Germany is also marching on" Praise the Lord!

Fare Thee Well, Dear Pastor Arthur!

2007-10-09T14:03:00.000-07:00

That is good dancing for pastor

Your 4 year-stay as the New England District pastor has seen tremendous changes and improvements in the district. We pray that the Lord will also be with our new pastor, Rev Kwame Appiah to enable him to also continue with your good work. May the Good Lord be with you in New York as He was with you in Massachusetts!

The pictures above are some of the memorable scenes captured on the day of the farewell service!

The Day 13-Year Old Ama Shook PIWC

2007-10-09T13:59:00.000-07:00

She was her usual self, the Amma we have always known; cool, calm and collected! The fact was that some of us didn't know what was within her sleeves the first time she got up to the pulpit to speak. She spoke directly to her peers, friends, colleagues and little siblings without mincing words, and as if there were no adults present, she produced all the gimmicks there were to help them get the message.

When she was done, she recoiled back into her shell as the same innocent-looking, unassuming, quiet young lady she has always been. This was the 13-year old Amma Badu, the precious daughter and first born child of Brother Ben and Sister Alberta A. Badu. It was obvious that this couple had invested much in their daughter, and wants to leave no stone unturned to bring up their children according to the biblical injunction of "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it" Proverbs 22:6. Praise the Lord, and thank you dear Brother Ben and Sister Alberta!

On Friday the 24th of August, history would be written in the books of the church in the USA as eight members of the Worcester Assembly and one from the PIWC are recognized and presented with their certificates for successfully going through a 3-month computer training course in Microsoft Word and the Internet.

Rev. Samuel Arthur, the outgoing district pastor who would be officiating in his last all-night with the district will present the graduates with their certificates of achievement. "Tune in" to www.worcestercopi.blogspot.com next week for graduating pictures and hear their testimonies.

To the graduates, we say CONGRATULATIONS and to the other 18 brothers and sisters who also registered and "fell off" on the way for various reasons, we say it's rather unfortunate! We wish you the best next time.

Beaming with smiles with mom, this young lady is excited that Mom has gone through the training successfully

Here they are, eight of the nine members who have successfully completed their 3-month computer training!

In a well-written speech, he did not mince words about this and demonstrated to all those who had gathered at the PIWC Reception Hall how to express appreciation to a wife who has truely lived out Proverbs 31. The pictures above tell it all. Elder Nyarko, thank you for breaking the ice, and leaving us an example to follow. BRAVO!

Pentecost Learning Center Takes Off at Worcester Central

2007-05-10T16:47:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday at the Worcester Central Assembly, history was made with the commencement of the first Pentecost Learning Center. There were twelve adult members of the church in Worcester who have committed themselves to learn and know how to use the computer at work and in their everyday life. As a result of their zeal the Presiding Elder, Elder Robert Nyarkoh, with the support of one of his able elders, Elder Asirifie promised to add more new computers and a projector to enhance teaching and learning. For this reason, these adult students, which include Sister Regina, the Local Women's Leader have promised to be in class every Saturday for the next three months to complete the basic training. Graduation is set for August 4, during which they would be awarded certificates. To them, we say a BIG CONGRATULATIONS!
Bro Kwabena Boamah was the only male and PIWC member in the class

You can see from their faces that they really mean business
