Recognized for his dedication, he was appointed to the office of an Apostle at the age of thirty-three (33). Six years later, he assumed the esteemed position of the fourth Chairman of The Church of Pentecost.

Following two terms of exemplary service to the church of Pentecost and the nation, Dr. Michael Ntumy gracefully handed over leadership to Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah.
