PENSA Ghana Leaders’ Retreat (PGLR) 2024 officially commenced on Friday, September 6, at the PENSA KNUST auditorium.
The annual event, organised by the Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) Ghana, brought together PENSA leaders from the various tertiary institutions across the country for spiritual enrichment and leadership development.
The retreat, themed ‘Unleashed to Transform the Campus,’ aimed to equip participants with sound doctrines, the tenets and core practices of The Church of Pentecost, and deepen their understanding of God’s word.
Elder Issah Nwenbe Jeln, PENSA Ghana Coordinator, in his opening address, emphasised that this year’s retreat sought to ‘ignite leaders with a firestorm of sound doctrine, fuel a frenzy of innovation, and unleash a tidal wave of transformation.’
The programme focused on crucial topics such as ‘Doctrines,’ ‘Our Mandate on the Campus: Reaching Everyone and Taking Everywhere for Jesus Christ,’ and ‘The Campus Takeover Drive.’
In his welcome address, Apostle Ebenezer Hagan, the Youth Director of The Church of Pentecost, highlighted the retreat’s alignment with the church’s Vision 2028 of ‘Possessing the Nations.’
He stressed that the annual gathering was designed to ‘build and equip all PENSA leaders to reach out and take over their campuses and institutions with kingdom values and principles.’
Drawing inspiration from Isaiah 49:1-3 and 6, Apostle Hagan called for internal transformation among the leaders and encouraged them to become positive influencers in various sectors, including academics, leadership, and public service.
PGLR 2024, which was a time of spiritual refreshing and practical leadership training, was to equip the next generation of Christian leaders to make a significant impact on their campuses and beyond.
