The Church in Germany is also marching on!

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!


























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!
