Two senior pastors of the Church of Pentecost drowned in the Kparekpare stream in the Krachi East District of the Volta Region on Saturday afternoon when they put their faith to test.The incident occurred when the two - Apostle K.K.C. Gadzekpo, the Hohoe Area Head of the Church of Pentecost, and Pastor Kamara Wilheminga, in charge of the Tokorano Pentecost Assembly - as well as two others, were travelling to Dambai to attend the induction ceremony of their colleague pastor whose name was not immediately known.The two others, identified as Mrs Gadzekpo, wife of Apostle Gadzekpo, and Elder Freeman, miraculously escaped death by a whisker.On reaching Kparekpare in the afternoon, a heavy downpour in the morning had caused the stream and other streams in the area to overflow their banks, a situation which rendered the road impassable and cut the Krachi East and West districts from the southern part of the country.The driver of the vehicle, Elder Freeman, as well as the village folk, advised that the delegation should wait for the floods to subside before continuing the journey but Apostle Gadzekpo, who was expected to chair the induction ceremony, refused to take the advice.Accusing the driver of having little faith, Apostle Gadzekpo rather took the keys to the vehicle from the driver, sat behind the wheels and drove the vehicle through the floods while the crowd screamed in the background.Midway through the flooded waters, the engine went off and the water swept the car downstream.
