Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has urged the church to remain steadfast in its efforts to promote healthy ethical principles and practices in Ghanaian society.
According to him, the Christian community should prioritize the magnificent values of integrity, honesty, and patriotism because these virtues have contributed to creating a better society. In a speech presented on his behalf by Akyamfour Asafo Boakye Agyemang-Bonsu, Asafohene, the king noted that of all the obligations assigned to Christians, none was more essential than the mandate to save society from bad activities.

This was at a dedication service of the House of Power Ministry International to officially unveil the church’s newly-constructed edifice at Ajamasu, near Anwiankwanta in the Ashanti Region. The facility, with a seating capacity of 22,000, was initiated by the Founder and Leader of the church, Prophet Francis Kwateng, with funding from the church members, philanthropists, and some corporate organizations.
The “Prophet Francis Kwateng Dome” is meant to coordinate the activities of the church in Ghana and beyond, especially in the area of evangelism. The House of Power Ministry International, one of the fastest-growing churches in the country, is renowned for its evangelism outreach programmes intended to advance moral uprightness and transform society for the better.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu said Christians were agents of change, and it was expected of them, therefore, to bring the needed transformation to the people through their deeds. He was hopeful the new facility would help expand the church’s activities for the benefit of the people.
Prophet Kwateng was glad the construction of the church had come to a successful end, saying it would help deepen the spiritual lives of members, their families, and the general public, as well as many generations to come.
He lauded the members and donors for their contributions. The Founder and Leader urged the members to take advantage of the serene atmosphere provided by the facility to strengthen their Christian faith.
Giving a brief history of the new church building, Prophet Kwateng said he secured the present land in 2012 and that work on the project commenced three years later.
