With a passion for sharing the gospel and strengthening local church outreach, Kojo Twumasi has been appointed to serve as Ohio Conference’s new director for the Evangelism Department. In this role, he will lead initiatives that inspire, equip and support congregations in fulfilling their evangelistic mission across the conference territory.
The Elyria church concluded its Pentecost 2025 evangelistic series earlier this year, adding 161 new individuals to its membership—surpassing the congregation’s previous membership and worship attendance before the campaign.
Before the series began, Elyria had a membership of 100. Andrew Sutton, treasurer of the Ohio Conference, emphasized that in God’s eyes every soul is precious and that even a small number of baptisms makes an evangelistic effort worthwhile.
