On September 29, 2026, Pastor Daniel Amoateng, Head Pastor and Founder of Power of Worship International (POWI), secured the release of 23 inmates from Nsawam Prison in Ghana. The release was made possible through the payment of outstanding legal fines by Pastor Amoateng and members of his church, known as POWI Nation. This act is part of the church's ongoing efforts to support those in need.

According to Pastor Amoateng, the gesture is a manifestation of God's love for humanity. As a man of faith, he has dedicated himself to extending this love to the underprivileged. He emphasized that Christ is all about love and that when you love people, you show it through actions like this. This is the third time POWI Nation has undertaken such an initiative, having done so twice last year.

The released inmates include individuals who had spent between two and ten years in prison. Pastor Amoateng advised them to desist from engaging in acts and habits that led to their incarceration and to avoid behaviors that could lead them back to prison. He encouraged them to develop good habits and strive to live productive lives within their communities.

Pastor Amoateng also announced that his church would provide the released individuals with skills training, support to establish trades, and employment opportunities. This support aims to help the inmates reintegrate into society and lead successful lives. The church's efforts reflect its commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.

POWI Nation has undertaken numerous charitable initiatives, including donating relief items to families affected by floods in the Volta Region in October 2023. The church provided over 1,500 packs of water, mattresses, food items, clothing, diapers, and sanitary supplies to those affected. This and other initiatives demonstrate the church's dedication to supporting humanity.

Pastor Amoateng's ministry routinely announces emergency support initiatives during periods of heavy seasonal flooding and rainfall. The church urges affected individuals to reach out through its official platforms. This proactive approach to supporting those in need has become a hallmark of POWI Nation's charitable work.

The release of the 23 inmates from Nsawam Prison is a significant example of POWI Nation's commitment to serving the underprivileged. Through initiatives like this, Pastor Amoateng and his church continue to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and communities in need.
