Elder Enoch and Mrs. Monica Mba of the Sapeliga District in the Bawku Area of The Church of Pentecost joyfully welcomed their first child, a baby boy, on June 4, 2024, after six years of marriage.

The couple, married on May 18, 2018, faced significant challenges on their path to parenthood, including social stigma, mockery, and two consecutive miscarriages.

In a heartfelt testimony, the Mbas expressed deep gratitude for the grace of God that sustained them through their trials.

With the support of family and believers, they persevered through adversity, and their third pregnancy resulted in the joyful arrival of their newborn son.

Elder Enoch Mba remarked, “We had much love for each other despite these challenges, which strengthened our bond.”

The District Minister, P/Overseer Victor Gyesie, officiated the christening ceremony and delivered an inspiring message on the theme “Parenthood is a Ministry.”

Drawing from Genesis 18:19, he emphasised the importance of guiding children in the way of the Lord, likening it to Abraham’s calling.

P/Overseer Gyesie encouraged the congregation to remain thankful for God’s timing in their lives, stating, “The Lord is watching and trusting that we will obey His will to fulfill His promises.”

The Mba family’s journey serves as an uplifting testament to faith and resilience, illustrating the profound joys of parenthood that can follow perseverance through challenges. May the Lord who has done it for them do it again for those believing Him for similar testimony.
