The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, on Friday, July 12, 2024, commissioned into the full-time ministry 118 men who have accepted the call of God and have completed their ministerial formation from the Pentecost School of Theology and Missions of the Pentecost University.
Out of the 118 ministers who have been commissioned with their wives, 106 of them are from Ghana while 12 are from the external branches outside Ghana.
At a commissioning service held at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh, the Chairman reminded them of the requirements of their calling and administered the oath of office to them.
Advising the newly commissioned ministers, Apostle Nyamekye told them that acceptance of the office of the overseer places upon them many responsibilities such as preaching the Word of God in season and out of season, baptizing new converts by immersions, and discharging any other duties assigned to them by their Area/National heads and the Head Office.
He also asked them to remember that they are being commissioned at a time when the whole church is being unleashed to transform their world and, so they must have a renewed commitment to Christ through reaching out to many with the gospel and have their presence felt beyond the church walls to the marketplaces, offices and all spheres of society for transformation.
He called on Area and National Heads to take particular interest in the new ministers, guide and train them with their experiences, while admonishing the districts and local assemblies to accept them, pray for them and support them to succeed.
The Vice Chancellor of the Pentecost University, Apostle Professor Kwabena Agyapong Kodua, expressed gratitude to all lecturers and faculty members of Pentecost School of Theology and Missions for the in-depth training they have given to the students whom he described as God’s gift to the communities that God has decided to dispatch them.
He admonished them to have Jesus as their model and look up to only Him and yearn for His grace.
Ministers who have been called into the missions’ field were also prayed for and encouraged to do the work with God as their help.
