What medical experts describe as extremely rare and biologically uncommon has occurred in the Ashanti Region, where a 55-year-old woman has given birth to triplets after 25 years of marriage without a child.
The woman, identified as Linda Ampofo, a member of The Church of Pentecost in the Brofoyedru District in the Kwadaso Area, gave birth to triplets on January 13, 2026, to the glory of God.
Family members and church leaders describe the birth as a miracle and an answer to years of prayer.
Having experienced miscarriages several times in her fourth month, with the final one occurring in 2014, she was confident God would intervene in her situation and grant her a family.
Despite not having children, Mrs. Linda Ampofo continued to serve in God’s home as a devoted Christian and member of The Church. She was well-known for her capacity to get up early, tidy the church grounds, and consistently participate in church events and prayer gatherings, particularly at the Brofoyedru Central Assembly.
Being the firstborn of her parents, she was unaffected by her younger siblings’ private lives. Instead, she continued to put her faith in God and found hope in the Word, which was revealed from the pulpit at the church district’s weekly morning prayers known as “Emergency.”
“I was born into The Church of Pentecost. I was taught that the God who worked miracles in the olden days is still working today. That kept me strong. Despite my situation, I was not discouraged. I continued to serve God and support His work while waiting for my miracle. I never stopped praying, and my pastors and some church members kept encouraging me that God would answer me one day,” she recounted
Following years of endurance, she received encouragement from Church leaders not to abandon her faith but trust God for a change, irrespective of her age.
Mrs. Ampofo was declared to be with children by the doctor during a visit to the hospital after falling under the weather.
“We were eight women believing God for children. Seven of them have had their babies, leaving me alone. Anytime I conceived, I lost the pregnancy. That was my biggest worry. I kept asking God in prayer what sin I had committed that He could not forgive, to bless me with even one child. But my pastors told me not to give up,” she said.
“Last year, when the doctor told me I was carrying three babies, I started shaking. I was very surprised. Even in my youthful years, I could not carry a pregnancy, so at age 55, I doubted it. I asked the doctor, ‘With which womb am I carrying three children?’ But truly, on 13th January, God had mercy on me and blessed me with these children,” Mrs. Linda added.
To the glory of God, she delivered triplets on January 13, 2026, and a naming ceremony was held at the Brofoyedru Central Auditorium on Sunday, July 6, 2026.
Together with her husband, Deacon Kwame Ampofo, Church leaders, family, friends and members of the Church of Pentecost, the new mother, adorned in white with gladness, glorified the name of God for the marvellous things done unto her.
Mrs. Ampofo said God had finally shown her mercy, and expressed profound gratitude to God, as well as to the leadership and members of the church for their encouragement and prayers throughout her waiting period.
She encouraged other married women, particularly Christian women going through similar struggles, not to lose hope but to hold firmly to their faith in God. According to her, God is still faithful and will grant them their own testimonies in His appointed time.
Linda’s husband, Mr. Kwame Ampofo, acknowledged God for being so dominant in their lives and granting them a special Grace of faith to keep believing.
He disclosed that although he was sometimes discouraged as a married man without children, he was confident that God would reward them for diligently seeking Him at all times.
He added that the new development has transformed his faith to serve God better in every circumstances.
Delivering the sermon, the Head Pastor of the Brofoyedru Praise Temple, Joshua Appiah, preached on the theme, “The LORD has done great things for us,” taken from Psalm 126:3 and Psalm 30:5b.
He highlighted how joy at the end of every trial redefines the faith of every believer after seasons of weeping and affliction.
He encouraged the congregation to use Mrs. Linda Ampofo’s situation as a case study and with hope, trust in God for a transformation.
He called on believers to hold on to their faith through the knowledge of God’s Word, which is effectual and effective to empower the believer to overcome the trials he’s going through.
Meanwhile, the Presiding Elder of the Brofoyedru Central Assembly of The Church of Pentecost, Elder Thomas Tuffuor, underscored the need for members to remain content and refrain from moving from one prayer camp to another, stressing that God is still at work in the Church for the welfare of His children.
Medical professionals note that natural conception at age 55 is extremely rare, as most women at that stage have reached menopause, when the ovaries stop releasing eggs, making pregnancy without medical intervention highly unlikely.
A woman officially reaches menopause when she has gone 12 straight months without a menstrual period. This milestone typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, with the average age being 51.
The stages of menopause include the transition phase, which starts in a woman’s 40s when hormone levels drop and periods become irregular; menopause itself, which is the exact point reached after 12 consecutive months without a cycle; and post-menopause, which refers to the years following menopause for the rest of her life.
The news of the triplets’ birth has brought joy to the family, the church, and the entire Brofoyedru community, with many describing it as a testimony of faith and perseverance.
The birth has since become a source of encouragement to many couples, particularly within the church.
