Kumasi. CCC Members to celebrate General Overseer 70th Birthday with Blood Donation

In a demonstration of community spirit and civic responsibility, members of the Calvary Charismatic Center (CCC), Kumasi, are set to participate in a massive blood donation drive this Saturday morning.

This is the 10th consecutive year that Pastor has celebrated his birthday with blood donation.

The exercise aims to adequately restock the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) Blood Bank.

This milestone iteration is drawing unprecedented enthusiasm from the congregation.

Appeal:
Rallying the congregation during last Sunday’s service at the church’s headquarters in Ayigya, Resident Minister, Pastor Joshua Obeng urged members to turn out in their numbers, while emphasizing the importance of donor safety.

“I appeal to all of us to voluntarily turn up at the church premises this Saturday,” Pastor Joshua stated.

He added, “Let us show love to our General Overseer, Pastor Ransford, by giving the gift of life. However, we will strictly ensure that only those declared fit and cleared by the KATH medical team are permitted to donate.”

Given CCC’s immense footprint in the Ashanti Region and its expanding global presence, organizers anticipate an exceptional turnout.

The church aims to secure at least 700 successful donations from its Ayigya headquarters alone to hand over to KATH officials.

Vision:
Speaking during a media tour at Luv FM last Thursday, Reverend Ransford Obeng reflected on the increasing health challenges posed by lack of blood at the hospitals that prompted the initiative.

He recalled heart-wrenching stories of families, church members and friends who lost loved ones simply because local hospitals lacked adequate blood supplies.

Moved by these preventable tragedies, Reverend Obeng decided to tie his personal birthday celebration to a public health lifeline, thus launching the annual blood drive on his birthday, June 6th.

With 650 branches worldwide, Reverend Obeng expressed hope that this local tradition will inspire a global culture of voluntary blood donation among church members year-round.

Celebrating A Pioneer:
The weekend’s celebrations will culminate on Sunday, June 7, 2026, with a grand Thanksgiving Service at the CCC Headquarters.

The event is expected to draw a high-profile international delegation, bringing together leaders from the global Christian community, academia, corporate Ghana, traditional councils, and across the political spectrum.

Dignitaries from various faiths will also gather to honor a man whose ministry reshaped the region’s spiritual landscape.

Decades ago, Reverend Obeng’s obedience to his calling led to the establishment of the very first English-speaking charismatic assembly in the Ashanti Region.

This, seen as pioneering effort, has since blossomed into the globally recognized Calvary Charismatic Center (CCC).
