With a heart overflowing with gratitude to God, Pastor Samuel Avornyo, Director of the Children’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost, warmly welcomed all delegates to the 4th edition of the Foundation Builders’ Conference (FBC) organised by The Church of Pentecost Children’s Ministry.
Addressing participants during the opening session, Pastor Avornyo acknowledged the presence and leadership of the Chairman, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, and all members of the Executive Council, alongside cherished patrons, ministers, and children’s workers.
In his address, he described the conference as a landmark gathering for equipping, sharpening, and unleashing spiritual builders.
With visible excitement, he highlighted the rare honour of hosting representatives from other churches, missions, and even international delegates, all united by the common goal of raising godly children.
He paid tribute to his predecessor, Pastor Professor William Otoo Ellis, whose visionary leadership birthed and nurtured the past three editions of the Foundation Builders’ Conference.
“Sir, we salute your commitment, your wisdom, and the solid structures you have laid,” he noted.
Affirming the divine mandate on the children’s ministry, the Children’s Ministry Director emphasized that workers are not just handling children, they are shaping destinies.
Echoing Acts 1:8, he reminded workers that they are empowered by the Spirit to ‘win, wean, and unleash children for Christ’.
‘The Kingdom of God is counting on you,’ he declared, adding; ‘and Heaven is watching.’
Pastor Avornyo urged participants to embrace FBC 2025 as a personal ‘Mount Horeb’ where burdens are lifted, fire is rekindled, and purpose renewed.
‘Let us prepare to be empowered to go forth and win, wean, and unleash godly children to transform their world.’
He concluded with a bold declaration of CM Vision 2028: ‘Children’s Ministry Vision 2028 – Win, Wean, and Unleash Transformative Children!’
The conference, which began today, July 31, 2025 is expected to conclude on Saturday, August 2, 2025.
