The Leader of the Men’s Ministry of the Church of Pentecost, PEMEM, Obuasi Area, Pastor Moses Nartey, has urged leaders and members of the Ministry to offer more support in achieving its four-year strategic goal.

The Vision 2024 (2020- 2024), under the theme ‘Sharpening Men to possess the Nations’ is aimed at possessing and building the capacity of the people to transform the nation through Christianity.

According to him, the strategic plan forms part of efforts to revive certain aspects of the Men’s Ministry in achieving its goals as well as the holistic objectives of the Church of Pentecost in possessing the nations for Christ, human and national transformation.

In his address during an Executive Lunch and Strategic Meeting with area leaders of PEMEM in Obuasi, Pastor Nartey pointed out that members had the ability to deal with shortfalls facing the Ministry to achieve its vision.

“We collectively possess the creative capacity that can eliminate the challenges of the Ministry to the minimum,” he said, and urged “reflect on what you can do as a man in the Church of Pentecost to model our manhood after the glorious nature of Christ to enable us build a glorious church to possess the nations in our generation and beyond.”
