New Executive Council Members, Ministry Directors Inducted Into Office

New Executive Council Members, Ministry Directors, Deputy Ministry Directors, and National Executive Committee Members of the various ministries of The Church of Pentecost were inducted into office on Sunday, October 18, 2020, at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Atomic in Accra.

The historic service, which was officiated by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, also saw the farewell for some outgone Executive Council Members, Directors, Deputies Directors, and NEC members who have successfully served their terms.

The event was joined virtually by three Executive Council Members and their families, namely Apostle James Raj Sundaram in India (new Executive Council Member), Apostle Dr. Emmanuel Antony Owusu in Canada (outgone Executive Council Member), and Apostle Ousmane Zabre in Burkina Faso (Executive Council Member).

Speaking at the service, Apostle Nyamekye congratulated the outgone leaders for serving the Church well in their generation. According to him, generations come and go but the earth remains the same. The coming and the leaving of generations, he explained, reduces the earth to a stage where people come to perform for a season and leave the scene, saying, “Generations do not just come and go, they come with their own challenges and blessings. It takes the people of that same generation to answer their own questions, solve their own problems, and meet their own needs. This then calls for discerning leadership.”

The Chairman was so much appreciative to God for taking the Church to greater heights. “From the outer edges of society and the fringes of life, this is how far the Lord God Almighty has brought The Church of Pentecost. Today you cannot mention churches in Ghana without naming The Church of Pentecost. God has been good to us. What it means is that as generations go and come God give us good and fantastic leaders.

“Generations go and come because we do not live forever. We all live for a period, that is why McKeown [founder of the Church] and his generations are no more; that is why the generations of the Safos [Apostle Fred Stephen Safo – the 2^nd Chairman of the Church] are not here; that is why the generations of the leaders that preceded us are gone; because they come in with their generations and exit with them. But today, I am happy that because of the fantastic leadership these great leaders produced, we do not lack leaders to manage any generation.

“Today, another generation of leaders are bowing out in honour and a new set is coming on board,” he noted.

He added: “Serving The Church of Pentecost on the national and international level is a daunting task because of the amount of work it requires. For some of you who have served and are bowing out in glory, and I’m so proud of you.”
