Church of Pentecost donates vehicle to police

The Church of Pentecost, on Thursday, 13 December 2018, donated a brand new Toyota Hilux vehicle to the Ghana Police Service.

The vehicle was handed over to officials of the Police Service on behalf of the Church by the General Secretary, Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi, at a short presentation ceremony at the church’s headquarters at La in Accra.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Chairman, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, said that The Church of Pentecost, through her vision for the next five years dubbed ‘Vision 2023’, aims to possess the nation by affecting every sphere of life with Kingdom principles and values.

He said the donation underpins the church’s commitment to contributing her quota to national peace and development.

He also acknowledged the efforts of the Ghana Police Service in maintaining peace and order in the country and was hopeful that the vehicle would go a long way to aid them in their work.

Apostle Nyamekye said that it is the vision of the church to partner and support the Ghana Police Service to equip them to be able to serve the citizenry well. He also hinted at the church’s vision to put up police stations in some selected parts of the country within the next five years.

Receiving the vehicle on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, DCOP Alex Amponsah Asiamah (Director-General, Services), commended the church for fulfilling its promise to support the Ghana Police Service and urged other faith-based organisations to do same.

He said the church’s continuous support to the police service demonstrates its interest in the general well-being of all people and not just members of the church, since the vehicle would not only serve members of the church but the country as a whole.

The Church of Pentecost has in the past supported the Ghana Police Service in effectively discharging its duty of maintaining peace and security.

In 2017, the church constructed a district police headquarters and police barracks at Millennium City, near Gomoa Fetteh in the Central Region. In addition, the church has provided IT equipment and vehicles for the police service and has also donated an ambulance to the Police Hospital.
