The Resident Minister of the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Assin Foso, Pastor Enoch Amoah, has urged believers, especially the youth, to embrace evangelism as both a divine command and a sacred privilege. He made this passionate appeal when he delivered a message titled “Unleashed to Go and Tell” at the launch of the National Youth Week.
Basing his sermon on John 1:40–42, Matthew 28:18–20, and Exodus 3, Pastor Amoah reminded the congregation that the Great Commission is not a suggestion but a clear instruction from Christ Himself. He explained that the Gospel “is not like pollen grains that drift with the wind; it does not spread by accident. It spreads only when Spirit-filled men and women intentionally carry the message of salvation to others.”
Expounding further, he noted that to “Go and Tell” means stepping out of one’s comfort zone to reach the lost, the broken, and the forgotten with the transforming message of Jesus Christ. “It means taking the Gospel beyond the church walls; into homes, streets, workplaces, schools, hospitals, markets, and even digital spaces like WhatsApp, Facebook, and TikTok. Wherever there are people, there must be messengers of the Gospel,” he emphasized.
Pastor Amoah described evangelism as both a command and a privilege. “We go because souls are perishing; we tell because Christ has already given us the power and authority to do so,” he stated. Drawing parallels with biblical figures, he added, “Just as Moses was sent to deliver Israel and Paul was sent to the Gentiles, every believer today is sent to their generation.” He affirmed that obedience to this call brings joy to heaven, transformation to lives, and advancement to the Kingdom of God.
Referencing the 2024 SOCA (Souls Outreach and Consolidation Awards) report, Pastor Amoah commended Elder Godson Boateng, Deacon Charles Addae, Deaconess Comfort Korsa, and Miss Beatrice Dzotepe for winning 1,024, 92, 90, and 12 souls respectively. Their commitment, he said, exemplifies what it means to live out the “Go and Tell” mandate.
With children and youth forming 76.5% of the Church’s total membership, Pastor Amoah called on young people to rise as bold witnesses of Christ in their generation.
In a rousing conclusion, he declared, “We have been unleashed to go and tell — no excuses! The mission is defined, the methods are ready, the message is known, and the power is already given. What are we waiting for? Let us go and tell!”
