The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria PFN Chairman of Awada Ward 2, Rev. Diarah Augustine made the call during the Inauguration ceremony of the Ward's Men and Women Executives which held at New Creation Assembly, Awada Obosi in Idemili North Local Government Area (INLGA), Anambra State.
"As a Christian, when you are not winning souls for Jesus Christ into the kingdom of God you are like someone beating about the bush. My vision is soul winning. Christians all over the world especially pentecostals should be united together to pursue the vision of evangelism.
"As we come together in unity to move forward the work of God. God will prove himself.I believe that this is a season and time to deepen our fellowship, strengthen our witness and expand the kingdom together," said Rev. Diarah.
Earlier in his sermon, INLGA PFN Chairman, Rev. Emeka Elukposi who spoke from the Book of Psalm 133 vs 1 - 3 reiterated the need for all ministers and churches under the Pentecostal bloc to co-operate together in unity, impact each other both spiritually and physically, working towards the general interest of the pentecostal churches and members.
"If Great Men of God like Pastor W F Kumuyi of Deeper Life Church who single handedly financed the building of Lagos State PFN Secretariat, Pastor E. A. Adeboye of Redeemed Church who bought two Evangelical Buses for PFN, Rev. Umar Ukpai who said he is sponsoring the next gathering of generals prayer summit, Rev Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy and Pastor David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church who are heavy financial contributors to PFN programs and projects, I wonder why you as a pentecostal preacher should not identify with PFN now", said Rev Elukposi .
Rev. Elukposi further advised genuine Pentecostal pastors to register their churches under PFN for their own benefit saying that Anambra State Government under the leadership of Governor Chukwuma Soludo was bent on fishing out fake ministers and places of worship which engage in dubious activities that mislead the public.
Moreover, the Pioneer PFN Chairman of Awada, Apostle Uche Sobechukwu Joseph of Kings and Priests Glorious Church (Wisdom Cathedral) prayed God to give the new leaders more wisdom and grace to succeed in their tenure saying that everyone at different levels and seasons have something to contribute to the growth and success of an individual or an organization.
