Dr. Lawyer Ken Aboah, a renowned surgeon and legal practitioner, has attributed the exponential growth of The Church of Pentecost around the world to the fulfilment of God’s covenant with the church and its forefathers.
According to him, The Church of Pentecost is one of the few African churches that has managed to open branches in 135 nations, and still counting.
Dr. Lawyer Aboah, an Elder and Trustee of the church, said this on Wednesday, February 2, 2022, in Accra, at the maiden meeting of the International Legal Advisory Committee constituted by the International Missions Board of The Church of Pentecost to oversee all legal issues in the external branches of the church. The advisory committee is made up of barristers, attorneys, and judges selected from various parts of the world.
Elder Dr. Aboah noted that The Church of Pentecost was in 109 nations as of December 2021, adding that, the Missions Board has targeted opening churches in 40 new nations in 2022.
He, however, noted with joy that in just about two months into the year, the church has been able to open new branches in 26 nations, bringing its global presence to 135 nations.
This growth, he said, shows that “there is life in the church.”
He also attributed the growth to the support of PENSA International and the church in the United States of America, which have taken aggressive evangelism to the nations.
He indicated that God’s divine contract or covenant with The Church of Pentecost was first declared in 1931, which announced the coming of a white man (Pastor James McKeown) to the Gold Coast in 1937. He said the covenant was reaffirmed several times in 1937, 1944, etc.
“We can see that we have a contract with God and as a legal people, we must recognise God’s will even as we draft the law,” he added.
Some of the key areas that the team has been tasked to work on include: Affiliation document of the church, registration of national churches, charter and constitution, condition of service and retirement age of ministers, finance and bank accounts and transfer of funds, conflict resolution, the bi-vocational policy of the church, and constitutional amendment of the main constitution of the church.
Meanwhile, the 26 new nations that have been possessed by the church include Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Kuwait, Oman, Azerbaijan, Sudan, Barbados, Singapore, and Cambodia.
The rest are Macau, Fiji, Albania, Cayman Islands, Nicaragua, Mexico, Cuba, Panama, Djibouti, Algeria, Comoros, Colombia, Lichenstein, Indonesia, and New Zealand.
