The PENSA Ghana Leaders’ Retreat (PGLR) 2024 officially commenced on Friday, September 6th, 2024, at the PENSA KNUST auditorium. This annual event, organized by the Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) Ghana, brings together student leaders of Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) from various tertiary institutions across the country for spiritual enrichment and leadership development.
The retreat, themed “Unleashed to Transform the Campus,” aims to equip PENSA leaders with sound doctrines, the tenets, and core practices of the Church of Pentecost, as well as deepen their understanding of God’s word.
Elder Issah Nwenbe Jeln, the PENSA Ghana coordinator, set the tone for the event in his opening address. He emphasized that this year’s retreat will “ignite leaders with a firestorm of sound doctrine, fuel a frenzy of innovation, and unleash a tidal wave of transformation.” The program will focus 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 Church’s Youth Director of Pentecost, highlighted the retreat’s alignment with the Church’s Vision 2028 agenda of ‘Possessing the Nations’. He stressed that the annual gathering is 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.
As the PGLR 2024 kicks off at the PENSA KNUST Auditorium, it promises to be a time of spiritual refreshing and practical leadership training. The event is set to equip the next generation of Christian leaders to make a significant impact on their campuses and beyond.
With the official opening declared, PGLR 2024 is now underway, marking the beginning of what PENSA Ghana hopes will be a transformative experience for all participants at the PENSA KNUST Auditorium.
