The Minister for the Interior, , has commended The Church of Pentecost for what he described as a "timely and strategic contribution" to Ghana's national safety infrastructure through the construction of the newly commissioned Pentecost Fire Station at Gomoa Yesukrom.
Speaking at the commissioning and dedication ceremony held on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, the minister, praised the Church for its forward-thinking approach to public safety. "This facility could not have come at a better time," he stated. "It will significantly improve emergency response times in Gomoa Yesukrom and surrounding communities, while also reducing the operational burden on the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) in the area."
