1
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:34,440
Oh my 
God. 

2
00:02:33,360 --> 00:04:00,520
None. 
I. 

3
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:43,800
None. 
Or if you are clapping for the 

4
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,960
Lord, then do it better praise 
the Lord. 

5
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,160
We have a request to be grateful
to God as a country and as a 

6
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,760
people. 
You know we are in the Ghana 

7
00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:00,280
month, Ghana God has given. 
US Peace. 

8
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,160
And every day when you get up 
from your bed, thank God for the

9
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,640
peace of the nation. 
Amen. 

10
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,480
Without wasting time, we invite 
our dear pastor, Pastor Emmanuel

11
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,680
Osaya Kosa. 
Shall we welcome him with a clap

12
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:28,770
of. 
Praise the Lord, may the grace 

13
00:06:28,770 --> 00:06:31,850
and peace for our Father and our
Savior Jesus Christ be 

14
00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:36,520
multiplied unto everybody here. 
And we want to wish everybody 

15
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,440
happy. 
Machines, machines week. 

16
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:43,760
Oh, I didn't feel your, your, 
your, your, your Amen. 

17
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,280
Say a bigger Amen. 
So this week is very dear to the

18
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:55,760
heart of the church because we 
celebrate the mother of all 

19
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:01,760
weeks, which is called the 
Machines week and intentionally 

20
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,960
it coincides with the week that 
revenge is. 

21
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,840
My Kyung came to Ghana in the 
year 1937. 

22
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,880
So such a long time ago he came 
to Ghana and he came to get 

23
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,000
Ghana in March and get Ghana to 
Regina independence in March. 

24
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,760
So March is a very key month for
the history of this beautiful, 

25
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:35,160
great nation called Ghana. 
And for that matter, when it's 

26
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,480
the time of the year in March, 
we want to bring ourselves 

27
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,400
together and gather ourselves, 
pray to support the work of 

28
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:51,320
missions and also get much more 
clarity in why we do what we do 

29
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:57,640
and also to give bountifully to 
support the work of missions. 

30
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:03,440
So we want to share with you the
history of this church from the 

31
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:10,200
time that our founder came to 
Gold Coast, to Ghana and to now 

32
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,840
and what the church is doing 
when it comes to machines in the

33
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,120
global space in the global 
space. 

34
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,560
So we are looking at the history
of the COP and this was designed

35
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:30,360
or put together by our dear area
head Apostle Dr. the La Quampa. 

36
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:36,840
Next slide please. 
So COP is one of the major 

37
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,039
Pentecostal denominations in 
Gagana. 

38
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:47,560
Before our dear Fawana came to 
Gagana in March, there had been 

39
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:55,000
a prophetic word through the 
ministry of Prophet Wadi Harris.

40
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:01,680
He came from Liberia and when he
ministered in Ghana, he said 

41
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:06,680
that God is bringing a white man
to Ghana and through him he's 

42
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:09,720
going to establish a very great 
and a powerful Pentecostal 

43
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,280
church in Ghana so we can trace 
all the AICS. 

44
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,880
When you talk about AICS, you're
talking about the African 

45
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,520
independent churches. 
What do you call systems? 

46
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:35,920
Sorry, 12 apostles Moon coming 
to our apostles revelation those

47
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,640
they mix the African way of 
worship together with them. 

48
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:52,000
So they mix these two and so 
those ministries prepare the 

49
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:59,920
grounds for the COP to also make
a very powerful way to take over

50
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,040
Gagana. 
So see what we trace our miss 

51
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,640
to. 
We trace our roots to the 

52
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,560
ministry of James Machion. 
There has been a very slight 

53
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:15,000
debate about the exact time that
he came to Gagana. 

54
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,520
Some are saying second match, 
some are saying fourth match. 

55
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,840
And we have another school of 
thoughts who are saying seventh 

56
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,760
match. 
So whether it's second, 4th or 

57
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:34,920
7th, the new man said he came in
the first week of March and this

58
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,880
guy has come because of where 
you are looking at. 

59
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,760
He arrived at the Jamestown 
which date and he moved all the 

60
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:50,400
way from Accra to Asaman Khasi. 
Then it will take you some time.

61
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,280
So if some are saying second, 
you cannot vote on them because 

62
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,120
depending on where you were and 
when you met him, could be a 

63
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,120
date where you you can put down 
that he came to probably the 

64
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:12,080
GameStop on the 2nd 4th he was 
in the East team and then seven 

65
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,480
probably they saw him. 
So the bottom lines, he was in 

66
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,640
Ghana the first week of March in
the year 1937. 

67
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:29,240
So our founder for the church is
Reverend James McKeon, a man who

68
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,600
operated with Apostolic grace, 
yet he wanted to be known as 

69
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,640
pastor. 
He ordained higher ones but he 

70
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,320
remained as simple as Reverend 
James. 

71
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,040
So I could please don't ask me 
why because why has a long tail?

72
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:55,200
So he was in Ghana as our 
chairman from 37 to 82 and he 

73
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:01,320
led the COP. 
We will see soon, see how his 

74
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:12,360
work, you know, moved from the 
1937 to the 1980s when he left. 

75
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,560
So he came on the invitation of 
next flight. 

76
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:26,840
He came when he was invited by a
group that was founded by one 

77
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:32,920
Peter in him and they were based
in Asaman, Khasi, Eastern Region

78
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,080
in Ghana. 
And this man had had an 

79
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,280
encounter with a mabaghism from 
the US, from the Faith 

80
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,720
Tabernacle Church. 
And when you read the articles 

81
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,560
and other things about healing, 
he was healed. 

82
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,600
He himself, he was sick for a 
long time, so his encounter with

83
00:12:52,600 --> 00:13:00,360
that way that he was healed got 
him to develop that great tests 

84
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,720
that he too. 
He needed the Holy Ghost because

85
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,240
he had heard that by the laying 
on of hands, some people would 

86
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,640
speak in other tongues and that 
brought them so much power. 

87
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:18,280
So through his quests and his 
tests, he he also connected. 

88
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,040
He got himself connected to 
another group linked to the 

89
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:28,200
Apostolic Church in the UK. 
So though he had begun a small 

90
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,400
group, they needed someone to 
come around to come and teach 

91
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,320
them, guide them to become a 
very powerful church. 

92
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:44,080
So to cut it short, they sent 
him Reverend James Mckim whilst 

93
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,400
they were requesting for him 
here in Ghana, in Europe too. 

94
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,880
James Mccune Scholing came 
through a prophetic word. 

95
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:58,680
Me ma, me ma me ma. 
No, not in that sense. 

96
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,360
But his word came that he and 
his wife had been called to 

97
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,920
serve in West Africa. 
James Mccune hesitated. 

98
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,760
He didn't just pick up his bag 
to say that because we are 

99
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,920
going. 
It took him one year, it took 

100
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,160
him one whole year to accept. 
Why? 

101
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,720
Because he felt that he he left 
school early. 

102
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,600
So he was feeling that I mean, 
shut down, called school. 

103
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Not much of you know why would 
God want me, someone who is not 

104
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:39,040
much educated to come to West 
Africa to come and start a 

105
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,920
church or to come and help this 
group. 

106
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,520
So you, you see that obedience 
to the whole of God is very key.

107
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,720
James Mccune he had not just 
been to school, but he went went

108
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,880
to school small but with the 
grace of God and obedience. 

109
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:03,080
Look at how God used him to 
build such a global COP or to 

110
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,080
the glory of God's soul. 
In case you have never seen him 

111
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:14,080
before, this is their picture 
whilst they were young and when 

112
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,080
they grew up to you, you see him
there. 

113
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,440
So he came to Ghana and they 
took him to Casa Marquez. 

114
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:30,000
The group that invited him, the 
Faith Tabernacle group had a 

115
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,520
very powerful stance that when 
you are sick, just as their 

116
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,640
leader was healed believing in 
God, you too don't go and seek 

117
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,040
medical help. 
Just trust in God and you'll be 

118
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,600
healed divine or through the 
supernatural means of of 

119
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,720
Google's power. 
So this mature came as a white 

120
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,720
and the African mosquitoes were 
unfriendly. 

121
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,960
They discipline him were well. 
So he he he felt sick, he almost

122
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,960
died. 
He took the intervention of the 

123
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:14,760
DCE of that place that is Kibi. 
So he took him to Rich Hospital 

124
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,440
in Accra and he was healed. 
He spent about 9-10 days there. 

125
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
When he returned, there was a 
very sharp division. 

126
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,800
Hey, someone who has been sent 
from Europe to come and teach us

127
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,880
to become a very good group. 
You, you are sick. 

128
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,160
You didn't have much faith to 
trust in God to heal you. 

129
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:39,560
You went for medication. 
So the first split came. 

130
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:47,480
So just two years after he came 
to the Gold Coast, there was a 

131
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,440
split. 
He had to leave and to join 

132
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,840
another group within the same 
vicinity. 

133
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,600
And eventually they decided to 
move away from the eastern 

134
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,720
region to Winneba. 
So Jegenz Makil held his first 

135
00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:16,280
convention with about 200 people
came, and by that the Apostolic 

136
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:22,400
Church Gold Coast took ship as 
if that was enough. 

137
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,800
So he moved from Winneba and 
then from Winneba he went to 

138
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,880
Cape Coast to set up the church 
there and then from K Cape Coast

139
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:36,960
he landed at Labadi here where 
the head office of the church 

140
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,520
has been. 
In fact, that was where he used 

141
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,200
to stay. 
Reverend Jim Ismachion used to 

142
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,160
please go back a little bit so 
that we will take our time and 

143
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,760
then look at this, go back and 
you just be here. 

144
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:58,040
That is where I have reached. 
So eventually they moved back to

145
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:02,640
Accra to set up the head office 
of the church. 

146
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,720
By then the name of the church 
was the Apostolic Church Gold 

147
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:14,480
Coast because he was sent by the
Apostolic Church UK. 

148
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,800
So he was linked to them. 
Next one please. 

149
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:26,080
Because of our time you have to 
move on to so the 1938 divine 

150
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,240
killing. 
So I think we have talk about it

151
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:39,600
next one please. 
So the effect was that now the 

152
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:46,760
church OK, so the group that was
led by the leader of that small 

153
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:52,640
group that was called Chibentwa.
That self no education group in 

154
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,040
Chi was called Chibentwa. 
When you are sick, just believe 

155
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,080
in God. 
That group now adopted the name 

156
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,920
Christ Apostolic Church and the 
CAC we know now and then James 

157
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:13,360
McKeon continued the Apostolic 
Church, you know the emphasis on

158
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,200
the Apostolic Church. 
You will come to understand it 

159
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:23,120
now the Apostolic Church Gold 
Coast next slide. 

160
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,960
So from Winneba, Cape Coast, 
Accra, now the church, the 

161
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:36,720
Apostolic Church Google Coast 
began to spread to Wasasimpa 

162
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:43,160
Pristia dumping him man in the 
western region and then also to 

163
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:50,200
the Humansi Asante region and it
was spreading Accra eastern, 

164
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:58,680
western and so on. 
In 1945 they formed this group 

165
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,760
called the bombing group. 
Go to the next slide please. 

166
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:11,680
So 1945 they formed the bombing 
group which eventually became 

167
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,840
the witness movement and now 
called the evangelism ministry. 

168
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,160
So it began with just a very 
small young man who were on fire

169
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,240
for the Lord planting the 
churches. 

170
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,320
So from. 
From the Eastern Region moved to

171
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,360
Wake Minibar, Cape Coast back to
Akran and they were taking it 

172
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:39,840
back to voter region, Asin, 
Asante region, voter region and 

173
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,440
it was spreading and spreading 
and spreading. 

174
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:51,080
So by pay our records, by 1953 
we had 512 assemblies in Ghana, 

175
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:57,040
assemblies in Ghana and we had 
adult membership of 13,000. 

176
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:04,720
So the second thing that 
happened in the history of the 

177
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:11,480
church happened in May 1953. 
This is what happened. 

178
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:19,280
There is this group in the US 
called the Latter Rain Movement.

179
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,240
It was led by Doctor Thomas 
Wyatt. 

180
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:30,320
So they came to Ghana and before
they even came there, there was 

181
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:36,400
that there wasn't that calmness 
about their invitation because 

182
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,680
that the church in the UK later 
on did not like the idea of 

183
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:47,920
inviting them to come to Ghana. 
So later that that time James 

184
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,040
Mackin had to go for council 
meeting in the UK. 

185
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,080
When you went there, the 
Apostolic Church then in the UK 

186
00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:06,360
brought forth constitutional 
review whereby a black apostle 

187
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,880
could not exercise authority 
over a white minister who was 

188
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:19,680
probably an overseer or even 
lesser in in if you like rank. 

189
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,920
So James Mccune and and and then
there was this another minister.

190
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:30,520
They were seeing these things as
not based on the on the Bible. 

191
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,240
So he refused. 
His refusal led to his 

192
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,160
dismissal. 
James Mccune was eventually 

193
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:46,880
dismissed by his home church and
Apostle Pencil and some group in

194
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,520
Ghana decided to invite him by 
because they like the way he was

195
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,120
doing his work and a lot of 
them. 

196
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,000
So he came back not by the 
church that sent him from his 

197
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,520
home country but this time 
around the Africans in googled 

198
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,680
coast asked him to come back and
come and leave them. 

199
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,840
So you can imagine that whilst 
he was coming, the Mother Church

200
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,360
will also have to send another 
missionary to come and take over

201
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,400
the church that he has. 
He has begun. 

202
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,240
So eventually that same year 
there was a split. 

203
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,120
There was a split and it was 
very serious. 

204
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:33,000
So whilst this split took place,
Makyung Group needed to adopt 

205
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,840
another nickname. 
So now they took the name Gold 

206
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:42,840
Coast Apostolic Church whilst 
the Mother Church that treats 

207
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:48,600
its roots to the UK Church 
continue with the name the 

208
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:56,440
Apostolic Church Gold Coast, The
Apostolic Church Gold Coast next

209
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,280
one please. 
Because of time we cannot go 

210
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,400
through them line by line. 
Other than that you take us over

211
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:09,080
an hour to explain thoroughly. 
So please, if you are here at 

212
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,960
church on which date cry on 
Tuesday. 

213
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,280
I took my time to explain all 
these things, but for now and we

214
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,400
are just trying to make make 
good use of our time because 

215
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:26,480
time is limited. 
So the Gold Coast Apostolic 

216
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,480
Church became the Ghana 
Apostolic. 

217
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:38,040
It was that time that they they 
it was so sharp that the Mccune 

218
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:43,160
group needed to abandon every 
church building, every militia 

219
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,080
house, everything that they they
are jointly acquired. 

220
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,600
They had to leave it and now be 
meeting under the trees. 

221
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,760
That is how come that the COP we
we we used to say that now 

222
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,200
you're comparable to quasi. 
That was the reason why because 

223
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,840
we were sacked, we didn't have 
any space. 

224
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:08,160
So we needed to just make good 
use of the spaces under the 

225
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,560
trees to go there and to pray 
and thanks me to God that it was

226
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,480
through those times that the 
church evolved with so much 

227
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:21,120
power, so much glory and so much
beauty meeting there. 

228
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:25,840
So we're praying every Friday in
a once in a while they will 

229
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:31,080
receive, you know, some messages
from Reverend Kion when they 

230
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,200
read it, they zoom into prayers,
fervent prayers. 

231
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,080
And it was through those prayers
that people were healed. 

232
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,600
There was the power of God being
demonstrated and it was 

233
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,080
overwhelming, abundant grace 
everywhere. 

234
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,760
So post independence, Dr. M 
Cromer advised the group the 

235
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,480
Machiung group to adopt A new 
name since it was confusing but 

236
00:25:56,360 --> 00:26:04,040
he didn't know minimum and they 
say may call Apostolic when they

237
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,720
get there. 
They didn't have to go and ask 

238
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,920
where a brony James man came on 
church now and now said you you 

239
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,320
give for the So he was so 
confused because after 

240
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:18,240
independence now he became Ghana
Apostolic Church and the 

241
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:24,760
Apostolic Church Ghana. 
So it was Jean AC and then TAC 

242
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,920
confusing. 
You're crying now. 

243
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,640
Now we are even would have 
confused a lot of us. 

244
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:42,600
So 1962 first August, the Ghana 
Apostolic Church changed its 

245
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:48,920
name to the Church of Pentecost.
So if you were reading through 

246
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,680
our history and you go and see 
Ghana Apostolic Church, it is us

247
00:26:54,600 --> 00:27:01,560
and now the Apostolic Church 
TAC, they have the original UK 

248
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,960
Apostolic fauna, they are now 
the Apostolic Church Ghana. 

249
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,320
So if you have mentioned their 
name, you don't bring the day, 

250
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,880
you'll be in trouble because of 
history, you need to be very 

251
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,840
specific and we have been 
through a lot. 

252
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:21,000
We have been through a lot. 
So we change our name and it was

253
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:27,800
duly registered in Ghana. 
So the chief of Pentecost and it

254
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,840
took place through a prayer 
meeting. 

255
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,840
Some have said that it was the 
late Apostle G Wood. 

256
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:40,840
G Wood, the father of Apostle 
Wood, his father. 

257
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,960
I think he's the one who got 
that song. 

258
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,520
And if I'm not mistaken, this 
song. 

259
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,800
I mean, he must say no idea. 
Menya and Shira and Shira ebusu 

260
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,480
miya miya ko mem or your 
Pentecost war me cremo or yuja 

261
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:02,080
Walmart town phone so so the 
name of the Pentecost came by a 

262
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:08,160
prophetic word, a song. 
That is how we got this name and

263
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,360
we have used it and we are still
using it till now. 

264
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:20,600
Next one, please, please go on. 
So from Ghana, this small group 

265
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:27,400
which has experienced two major 
splits is now growing steadily, 

266
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:34,040
growing, growing and growing. 
So we needed now to move out of 

267
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,000
Ghana and spread the gospel to 
the whole world. 

268
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:43,600
Please go back still just be 
here. 

269
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,640
So missionary activities 
included the efforts of 

270
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:56,560
everybody from students to to 
lay women and men, to Fisher 

271
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,240
folks, to those who were sent to
go and do their pH DS in Europe,

272
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,040
to those who are just going 
after fishes in the sea, to 

273
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:11,040
Apostolic, to elders, to 
pastors, everybody. 

274
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:17,120
Weaver is a concerted way of 
doing it because some of us were

275
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,240
sent to, some of them were sent 
to go and study. 

276
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,480
For instance, I give the example
of Holland and whilst he was 

277
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,480
there doing his speech there are
things he decided to preach the 

278
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,520
gospel and now we have the 
church in Holland which is doing

279
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,160
very well. 
So we were sending out. 

280
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:43,480
Not that it wasn't only the 
ministers who opened the the COP

281
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,480
churches in the nations. 
Some were done by students 

282
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:53,360
somewhere done by you and I 
people, ordinary students who 

283
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,800
had gone there for students 
program and Athens. 

284
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,080
They preached the gospel and 
people came. 

285
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,760
Then they requested for 
ministers to go and grow theirs,

286
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,440
those smaller, smaller 
denominations. 

287
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:14,240
So your time may come that when 
you are sent to Uzbekistan to go

288
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,440
and study, don't go and hide in 
your small corner and say that 

289
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,600
maybe you have me by maybe a 
school, but you have the fire of

290
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,640
God in you. 
You can also go out there, 

291
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,280
preach the gospel and then start
a church. 

292
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,840
Let's go on. 
So now on the COP church, 

293
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:41,280
globally, we are in 211 nations,
211 nations, including Ghana. 

294
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,760
Somebody will ask, now we are 
seeing in our cry, yeah, yeah. 

295
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,640
I don't know what you're saying,
211. 

296
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,240
So there are some of the 
smaller, smaller States and 

297
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:59,000
nations which may not have been 
recognized by the UN, but they 

298
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,080
also exist on their own and they
have their own kind of 

299
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,520
leadership. 
So we are in 211. 

300
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:15,040
So from one man's obedience, one
man's simple obedience. 

301
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:20,880
Not educated, not with the PhDs.
PhDs are good. 

302
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:26,080
We want as many of us to go to 
school, but that alone cannot 

303
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,880
carry the church. 
James Mccune always remarked 

304
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,160
that the work is prayer and 
prayer is the work. 

305
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,720
So he relies solely on God and 
he had to pray. 

306
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,120
So the foremost thing that one 
support missions work with, it's

307
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,520
your prayer. 
Please don't relent or don't 

308
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,680
stop praying. 
We need to pray for them. 

309
00:31:52,040 --> 00:32:06,240
So globally now, the church COP 
now has 4,975,385 membership 

310
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,440
overall. 
Ghana has the biggest which is 

311
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:19,720
4.2 and now when you go to the 
work work of missions, we have 

312
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:25,920
granted 2 nations to be 
autonomous so that they can now 

313
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,440
elect their own leaders and 
present them to the overall 

314
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,680
COPCOP executive. 
So we have Togo and we have 

315
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,520
Benin and Laco d'ivoire. 
Is it two or three? 

316
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:48,960
Is it 3 because OK, it's La Cote
d'Ivoire and then bedding? 

317
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:54,240
Yes, La Cote d'Ivoire and Benin,
they have been given that chance

318
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,640
and space so that anything they 
do, we don't send direct help 

319
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:06,280
from the COP from LA to them. 
But they are now doing their own

320
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:11,160
thing and but they still have 
that link to us as a COP church 

321
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:19,080
and all the mothers are known. 
So from the 211, when you take 

322
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:24,120
Ghana out, it's it's level 210. 
If you take two out, it's level 

323
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,800
about 208. 
So the other 208 half the 

324
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:44,520
479,375 overall membership, so 
external machines that were that

325
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,840
have been added to it to 
increase it to 210 are as 

326
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,920
follows. 
So next slide please. 

327
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:59,880
So these are the nations that 
20, the 21 new nations which 

328
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:10,760
have been added, these are their
names because if I try now, so 

329
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,280
it's OK as you see there, it is 
there. 

330
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:20,560
Let's go on. 
So globally we have 148 

331
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:27,719
missionaries and the non 
missionaries are 3441. 

332
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,120
The missionaries are those who 
have been sent to a minister 

333
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:38,480
away from their home nations. 
So if I was called from Ghana 

334
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,120
and I'm asked to go and serve in
another nation other than Ghana,

335
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:45,760
I am termed as what? 
A missionary. 

336
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:50,880
But whilst I'm serving in Ghana 
here, I'm not a missionary, 

337
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,719
anyone who has also been 
transferred to Ghana from where 

338
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,520
he was called from is also 
serving as a missionary in 

339
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,640
Ghana. 
So across all these divides, we 

340
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,960
have 148 missionaries of the 
church who are serving away from

341
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,480
their home nations. 
So we have 140. 

342
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:15,040
We need to pray for them. 
So you know COP globally has 

343
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:25,560
3589 ministers globally and 1:48
as serving as missionaries. 

344
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,360
Next slide. 
So what is helping us now to 

345
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:35,320
reach the indigenes? 
At first when you go to Europe 

346
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:40,080
and in the US and the West and 
the East, it was more or less 

347
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:46,000
like Ghanaian who have moved 
there in search of work. 

348
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,960
We just go there to to gather 
them together and to have a 

349
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,320
church. 
At first that was what was we 

350
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,680
were doing, but now thanks we to
go that it has changed. 

351
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,840
It has shifted dramatically now 
through the city church. 

352
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:10,440
The COP in the West are making 
some inroads and we have we now 

353
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:15,120
have nationalities indigenous 
who have joined our church who 

354
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,240
are non Ghanaians, who are not 
from Africa, who are not from 

355
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:24,560
Ghana but they are real 
indigenous who are serving world

356
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,640
with their mother tongue in 
their nation. 

357
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,680
So the city churches all over 
the West and even some parts of 

358
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:38,160
West or sub-saharan and Africa 
is also working very hard to 

359
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,680
attract them. 
So now if you go there now, they

360
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:46,840
will be seeing you and be like 
hanging out free by hanging out.

361
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,400
So now they are singing and soon
you'll be seeing some of them in

362
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,760
the video. 
We will show you the next one, 

363
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,240
please. 
Another way that God is helping 

364
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:01,680
us to make inroads in mission 
field is Spencer. 

365
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:08,680
It's also helping us whereby we 
are falling on them and through 

366
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,440
them. 
And by the grace of God that the

367
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:16,480
church in the US now has 
military based districts in the 

368
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:21,240
US offering chaplaincy service 
to the military officers and 

369
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:26,880
their families. 
So we now have 9 military based 

370
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,920
districts in the US and they are
doing very well over there. 

371
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:37,960
Let's move on please. 
When you come back to Ghana, 

372
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,880
what we are doing here, another 
frontier that we have also 

373
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:48,400
embarked on is to doing some 
social interventions. 

374
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:56,680
This is one of the ongoing 
correctional institutions that 

375
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:03,600
we are doing to help Ghana in 
effect the camp reasons that we 

376
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,120
have been doing. 
This one is ongoing at the 

377
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:11,760
Damong the Damongo which was 
commissioned in this year by the

378
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,520
Excellency President George 
Armani Mahama. 

379
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:20,920
And there's another one going on
in Abuasi, the next one please. 

380
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,960
But we have already finished two
two of them. 

381
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:31,440
This one I was there from the 
beginning to the end. 

382
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,560
I saw it feeling feeling. 
I was involved because we were 

383
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:41,200
at then at in some Pi the very 
day that Chairman Brooke cut the

384
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,600
sword. 
Let me just hope I was there 

385
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,560
feeling feeling nobody. 
This is somebody I was there 

386
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:51,680
some and to the day that His 
Excellency President Echo for 

387
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,000
the King for me. 
She need to let me meet with 

388
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,760
your life actively involved. 
I saw it with my two eyes, not 

389
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,800
just seen it but actively 
involved and people 

390
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:10,720
misunderstood us. 
People thought that even till 

391
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:15,520
now, till now, even now if I 
open now class some of few class

392
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:20,680
still not clear true of us. 
But let me give you this small 

393
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,520
thing. 
What we have done here, you have

394
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:30,400
no idea how it is contributing 
to the welfare and the 

395
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,880
well-being of someone who is an 
inmate. 

396
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:40,080
I have been preaching to at in 
some prison for three years. 

397
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:45,040
Once I was at in some. 
So every week I will go there 

398
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,560
minimum, at least once a week 
minimum. 

399
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,120
And when you get in there and 
you see the states of the 

400
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,440
inmates and the inmates they, 
they range from, they cut across

401
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,480
every side of the society. 
We have medical doctors who are 

402
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:08,520
there at least a new one. 
I saw him every day, said Mikawa

403
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,960
Nami Uno. 
There were those with master's 

404
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,840
degree, those who were who you 
used to work with the banks 

405
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,680
because of fraud. 
They are there and they were the

406
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:24,000
last group of somebody here. 
Those who were, who were doing 

407
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,320
things on the street railings 
and there were ministers too who

408
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,840
were there. 
And when you go there and you 

409
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:37,160
see how congested and anytime 
you enter there, you see the 

410
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,120
figure there. 
And a place that was built 

411
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:48,920
originally for about less than 
1000 was carrying over 3500 men,

412
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:55,480
not small boys or men, 3500 plus
men. 

413
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,680
And now the church came in that 
these people are our clients. 

414
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:06,440
So we are trying to decongest 
and to show them the love of God

415
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:12,320
and and if you don't get that 
vision right, you always speak 

416
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,080
against us. 
And the day that it was built 

417
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,120
and we put all this, once they 
were doing these things where 

418
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:24,000
they all me, I went there. 
I was going there almost every 

419
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,920
day to go and see how they are 
doing it. 

420
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,480
And the first group that came 
there from who they were 

421
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,360
transferred from the Whoop 
prisons to come there, come and 

422
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,480
see their reactions. 
When they got there, they were 

423
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:43,080
like, wow, what a beautiful 
place. 

424
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:50,160
And they were thanking God, 
Inmatesville, thanking God, this

425
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:54,560
place is nice, this is nice. 
And we had bought them some 

426
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,760
toothbrushes, toothpaste and 
some things that they do that 

427
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,560
will make their state there 
comfortable. 

428
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,800
So when they got there, some of 
them had not cleaned their mouth

429
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,280
for about 3 days somewhere even 
a week. 

430
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,440
So when they got that chance to 
use toothbrush and a toothpaste 

431
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,720
to clean their mouth and to 
brush their teeth, come and see 

432
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:21,840
their joy. 
Apart from that, look at the 

433
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:26,080
where they sleep like Senior 
High School. 

434
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:32,440
And we bought TV's, we fixed 2 
flat screen TV's in these halls 

435
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,760
so once they go inside that they
can enjoy anything which we 

436
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,120
enjoy by watching TV. 
If you go there, some of them 

437
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:46,760
they have DSTVS, DSTV. 
What would you only be with you 

438
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:52,160
on what partial already or enjoy
why we want to show them the 

439
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:58,880
love of God and everybody can be
sent to the prison. 

440
00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:06,680
Anybody is a potential inmates, 
anybody, all of us anybody ask 

441
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,680
the if we in paying for my 
culture. 

442
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:15,040
There can be a soup and you beat
me a flower shower before you 

443
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,720
say me Calm encounter. 
You have been there for about a 

444
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:24,120
week Accra, you have been there.
So when these things came and 

445
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,680
look at the fans, the ceiling 
fans which are there for for 

446
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:34,000
them to just also ease the 
bedding for one day whilst at in

447
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,200
some prison. 
I got the chance to get very 

448
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:46,120
close, close to where they stay 
and getting to know the kind of 

449
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,200
food they eat. 
That day I went to massage. 

450
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:57,160
Very sad. 
So for a church to come around 

451
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,520
to do these things to ease the 
burden. 

452
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,520
If your relative has never been 
to some prison before, you don't

453
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:13,040
know how tough and how hard it 
is for you to have somebody 

454
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,600
there. 
So the church came and whilst 

455
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,280
they are there we, they acquire 
skills. 

456
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:25,840
The church bought computers, 
sewing machines, they can sew 

457
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:29,280
dresses, they have laundry 
there. 

458
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:34,240
Anything you want to learn, they
ask you and you start and you 

459
00:44:34,240 --> 00:44:38,120
learn. 
And we also put up a Chapel in 

460
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:45,400
there so that whilst that same 
place is used as a classroom, so

461
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:50,880
when they finish their services,
they reconstitute the whole 

462
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,240
place into a classroom where 
they sit and learn. 

463
00:44:55,720 --> 00:45:00,520
And these things, some people, 
they talk and they blast us. 

464
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:06,480
They say that we'll open a 
factory, but for the church 

465
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,080
sinners, our clients for the 
factory and other things, the 

466
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,720
government who takes our income 
tax to handle that place. 

467
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,160
But for us, the mandate of the 
church is to the Sinner and 

468
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,920
anything that will ease the 
bedding of the Sinner by showing

469
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,120
them that Jesus cares for them. 
That is our mandate and that is 

470
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,480
our work of the church. 
So if you have also been having 

471
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,200
that difficulty thinking about 
what we are doing. 

472
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,480
So when they come to the to the 
prison, we get them to preach 

473
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:42,000
them the first group that that 
came from who about 85% receive 

474
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,280
Christ and they were baptized in
water sinners. 

475
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,240
Now that they have come, so we 
get there, we baptize them. 

476
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:57,040
So let us see that to all these 
things in the church and on the 

477
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:04,440
social media about those things,
I beg you in the name of God, 

478
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:09,360
Amen. 
And the mission front, it's also

479
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:15,360
putting up the fire station, the
hospitals, those ones, the 

480
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:19,480
social media guys in their 
diabolical act won't talk about 

481
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,200
it. 
And they were talking about the 

482
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,120
in some free prisons and other 
things. 

483
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,040
Go on. 
OK, so there's another police 

484
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,560
station. 
If you have ever travelled on 

485
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:35,160
the stretch from Kintampo to 
Tamali and your car has got spot

486
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,800
in the middle of the night and 
somebody has come from the Bush 

487
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,600
to attack you, appreciate the 
presence of this police station 

488
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,000
on that stretch, very quiet 
stretch. 

489
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,520
Imagine so the things we are 
doing. 

490
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,760
If you don't understand, please 
ask so they will explain them to

491
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,960
you. 
If you have ever lived there 

492
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,560
before or travel along that 
street before, you appreciate 

493
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:03,720
these things that we do. 
Please go on, Please go on. 

494
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:10,640
And this one used to Chrome Fire
station used to Chrome fire 

495
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:15,520
station that this one fully 
finished fully everything and 

496
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,640
handed over to the Ghana 
National Fire Service from the 

497
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:24,280
church showing the love of God 
and also extending our 

498
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,240
missionary work. 
So anyone who lives around that 

499
00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:31,480
space at least will know that 
there's a fire station in there.

500
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:39,160
Next one. 
So now we move to the E church 

501
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:44,840
by way of reaching out to those 
who are in who are who live 

502
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,360
alone and work far away from 
home. 

503
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,800
For instance, some of our some 
of our colleagues and our 

504
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,520
friends are in school in some of
the remotest places on earth. 

505
00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:59,120
Some of them via work will take 
them away from man's and they'll

506
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,200
be on the seas for weeks and 
months. 

507
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:06,120
No access to church. 
So the E church is the church 

508
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:13,200
which is E in the air for those 
who work in such places or those

509
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:18,080
who are, who are lonely and have
been, you know, taken away. 

510
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,360
And it also is also there for, 
for for those who accept Christ 

511
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:28,960
in the Arabic world where they 
cannot have access to physical 

512
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:34,200
interaction at church as we do. 
So the E church is therefore all

513
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,480
these groups, another way of 
extending our mission work to 

514
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:43,600
everybody in the world. 
So we have the E studios in New 

515
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:48,720
Jersey in the US, we have 
another one in Accra and in 

516
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,560
India daily. 
And all these things as we are 

517
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:57,880
here, they're also there meeting
in the air, meeting in the air. 

518
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,200
So all these things are ways 
that we are expanding the 

519
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,680
missions work. 
So the missions work now is 

520
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:09,880
sophisticated and we also need 
sophisticated a means, means to 

521
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,200
reach them. 
Go on, please. 

522
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:17,280
We also have the Bible schools 
now. 

523
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,120
We don't have a just in Ghana, 
we have one in Europe. 

524
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:27,800
In the UK, Birmingham Christian 
is a colleague or whatever. 

525
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,520
They are there to train all the 
ministers and officers in 

526
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,320
Europe. 
And in the Middle East we have 

527
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:42,040
the Pentecost Biblical Seminary 
in the US that is also doing it 

528
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:47,560
for those in the US, North 
America and the South Americans.

529
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:55,480
We also have, OK, so another 
slide, it's still the US school,

530
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:02,040
very nice one at New Jersey. 
And we also have another one, La

531
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:06,280
Cote d'Ivoire for brothers from 
the Francophones. 

532
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,800
They also go, go there to get 
trained. 

533
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,240
So these people, they don't come
to Ghana to be trained because 

534
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:16,000
in Ghana we use English, but we 
needed them to also be trained 

535
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,480
in their languages over there. 
So it is also there. 

536
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:25,680
We also have another one in the 
South Africa, which is so high 

537
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:30,040
and in the Sadiq region. 
Let's move on to health. 

538
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,760
Health, please move on. 
Please be fast. 

539
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,920
A little bit health. 
And when it comes to health, we 

540
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:45,400
have 4 hospitals and eight 
clinics in Ghana, 4 hospitals 

541
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:50,280
and eight clinics in Ghana. 
And the church is also still 

542
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:56,440
spreading and pushing. 
So if they ask you tell them 

543
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,920
what we are doing. 
The next one please. 

544
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:06,040
So the next one you see is the 
Boga one, the one that Teshungua

545
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:13,040
area supported a lot and was 
open in Boga Tanga. 

546
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:18,760
So when we give, we put it to a 
very good use. 

547
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:25,680
So as we watch the movie or the 
documentary of our missions, be 

548
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,920
encouraged to give a know that 
COP. 

549
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,800
We are doing and we are carrying
the gospel to the nations all 

550
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,400
over the world. 
Thank you. 

551
00:51:46,860 --> 00:51:51,180
Yeah, so the media team should 
help us with the video before we

552
00:51:51,180 --> 00:51:51,860
continue.
