However, the distressed couple's fervent prayers began to yield results when Pastor Andrews Owusu of the downtown district assumed his post as the district minister in 2021, said the Church of Pentecost.

Deaconess Christiana, the Children's Ministry district leader, recalled the crucial event that changed their course of destiny.

"Pastor Andrews Owusu called my husband and I to the mission house a few months after he joined our district. He encouraged us to give thanks daily in our prayers and reassured us that God had heard our petitions,'' the Church of Pentecost reports her as saying.

The couple said they remained faithful although they were sceptical because they had encountered similar proclamations before.

''True to his word, God blessed us just weeks later, even when we had lost all hope,'' she said.

The couple delivered a healthy baby boy at the Ridge Hospital in Accra after commemorating their wedding anniversary on January 25, 2023. On April 22, the pair dedicated the child to God in a ceremony officiated by a preacher.
