According to reports, the visit to the church was to seek Rev Owusu Bempah’s forgiveness for the NPP's shortcomings against him.
They pleaded with the renowned man of God to forgive the party and offer them his spiritual backing ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Rev Owusu Bempah was one of the leading Ghanaian pastors who used their pulpits to pray and solicit support for the NPP during the 2016 and 2020 elections.
However, the revered pastor had a falling out with the party after they won power, particularly during their second term in office after the 2020 elections.
This led him to switch camps to the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the lead-up to the 2024 elections.
NPP supporters kneel before Rev Owusu Bempah
The NPP supporters, who visited his church on Father's Day, indicated that the party had been struggling due to his absence.
In a video circulating on social media, the leader of the delegation knelt to beg Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah for forgiveness on behalf of the party.
“Daddy, your children have come before you, and I come before your grace. Whatever the NPP, as a party, has done, we stand here today on Father's Day to seek peace and reconciliation. We believe that whatever Daddy says comes to pass, whether curses or blessings,” the leader of the delegation said.
“We are here today on behalf of Kennedy Agyapong to beg for your forgiveness for everything that the NPP has done to you,” he added.
Rev Owusu Bempah warmly received the NPP supporters into his church and urged politicians in the country to embrace humility, forgiveness and godly counsel.
He also prayed for peace, unity and divine wisdom for the political leaders of the country while expressing his profound gratitude to the NPP supporters for the visit.

The visit by the NPP supporters to Rev Owusu Bempah's church has sparked mixed reactions on social media.

@Emma320282217 commented:
"Hahaha NPP supporters are fuming by the daily actions of their leaders atamfo Anya mo."
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Apostle Eric Okai, a senior pastor at Elim Church in Accra, said the gesture by the NPP supporters demonstrates the recognition of the influential role religious leaders play in shaping public opinion and fostering unity.
"By seeking forgiveness and reconciliation, the NPP members acknowledge the importance of spiritual guidance in their political endeavours. This act may help to mend relationships and potentially garner support from Rev. Bempah's congregation. However, the sincerity of their intentions and the long-term impact of this gesture remain to be seen," he stated.
"The request for spiritual support ahead of the 2028 elections also underscores the significance of religious leaders in Ghana's political landscape. Religious leaders can mobilise their followers and provide moral guidance, which can be crucial in shaping electoral outcomes. Ultimately, the effectiveness of this approach will depend on the perceived authenticity of the NPP members' actions and the response of Rev. Bempah and his congregation," he added.
